Stretch Island Fruit Co. Fruit Strips Review And Giveaway

Aug 15th, 2010
by Pat..

I have had health issues over the years and continue to have them. Shedding seventy pounds big time helped a lot. Still I have to monitor foods to avoid medical complications. I have to monitor foods not to regain lost weight.

As a diabetic, blood-sugar level can poise problems. By planning meals and snacks, I can avoid many of them. I try to avoid fast-foods. Health wise they can be no-no’s. I often bring my own food, snacks, and beverages along. I even have some things in the car 24/7 like bottled water just in case.

I am always on the lookout for legal food for me. Recently I got to try several of Stretch Island Fruit Company’s Fruit Strips. FYI: This product is fantastic. It’s portable with a suggested shelf life of one year, kosher, gluten free, dairy free, and has no added sugar. Take a look at one look at one of the labels.

I like every variety – apple, apricot, cherry, grape, mango, strawberry, and raspberry. The apple tasted almost as if it came fresh from the orchard. The cherry tasted as if I bought it at local fruit stand. The leather reminds me of gummy bears or fruit roll-ups but better. They are dense, sweet, slightly sticky. If mama had not taught me not to play with food, I would try to see if it stretches….

Stretch Island Fruit Company products are available online and in retailers like Walmart. It lists at 8 for $2.99 and 30 for $13.99. Only 45 calories for a half serving of fruit, all-natural, nothing artificial, it is worth the price to me.

This summer, Stretch Island Fruit Co. is giving 250,000 Continental Airlines passengers a free Stretch Island Fruit Co. Fruit Strip. I know those folks will surely enjoy it and find it to be a healthy, portable and convenient snack and surely a welcome alternative to standard airplane food.
