Product Review: Fruttare Fruit Bars


Last week I tried the Fruttare Fruit & Milk bars.  While at the grocery store recently, I saw Fruttare also had a fruit-only bar.  I tried the mango flavor, although they also come in Strawberry, Lime and Orange.  At 60 calories and 0 g. fat per bar, I thought they would make a good low calorie summer treat.  I'm not always a fan of frozen fruit bars, but I was pleasantly surprised with these.  They were smooth and creamy, almost like a frozen sorbet on a stick.  They had a "fresh" mango taste and weren't "icy" as many frozen fruit bars are.  I'd probably try them again. They weren't filling at all and were kind of small, but it was a nice treat while sitting outside on the patio.

Product Review: Fruttare Fruit & Milk Bars


I'm still on my ice cream and frozen treats kick!  I've seen a lot of commercials and ads for these new Fruttare fruit bars and I thought they might be a nice, healthier treat to try out for the blog.  So far, I've tried the banana & milk flavor, which come in at 120 calories / 3.5g. fat per bar. A box of four bars cost $3.99 at my local Krogers.  It was a creamy fruit bar, with chunks of banana in it.  I did like them and they're a nice treat for a warm, summer day.  However, it did have a bit of a "fake" banana taste to it. Those who are not a fan of banana-flavored treats would probably not like these.  I'd potentially try this flavor again and would definitely give their other fruit and milk bars a try.
