Thank you for the box we received today! We got straight into it and little miss two year old enjoyed eating hers while chilling in the couch watching paw patrol! I may have snuck one in too….. love them!! We have enjoyed trying these snacks out, perfect way to end our Friday 😍
Loved being a part of the trial. My son and I loved these. Such a nice quick snack when we went for a bike ride. Love the flavours, couldn’t pick a favorite. Nice and convenient. My daughter wasn’t really a fan but we made up for it. These didn’t last long in the cupboard. Will definitely be trying to find these in the supermarket as my son will love them in his lunchbox.
Loved both flavours, great for mid afternoon snack. Kids all loved them, would definitely purchase. Thanks so much.
These fruit bars were a hit with my five and eight year old. They are a great and different way to add fruit to the lunchboxes when the kids are bored of the fresh fruit on offer. I like that they are only made of three ingredients and feel better offering this over dried fruit to my children. I personally liked the simple and easy to read packaging however my oldest said the packaging could be more fun, bright and kid friendly.
My 5yo son loved these! He would ask me in the morning when we were making his lunch if he could have ‘one of those special fruit things’ and it was guaranteed to be all gone when he got home. The 12yo boys grunt more than talk but I noticed they soon disappeared from their lunchboxes too!
My family (adults and 8 and 6-year-old children) enjoyed these fruit bars. They definitely feel much healthier compared to other fruit string-type products. Handy to come in a box and the price seems reasonable for a quality product. I have seen them in the supermarket and will buy again. Thanks for the box to trial.

Would love to try and sneak some of these in her school luch
I have 3 kids aged 5, 6 and 8. I would love to try this as it would be a perfect healthy snack on the go for my busy kids.
Hello! My daughter Audrey is nearly 15 months old and I would love to trial these fruit products with her. I’m a single mum on the go so some healthy snacks like these would be awesome for our lifestyle. I have coeliac disease so I love that there are things I can try too!
Thank you, Coralie
Hi. My daughter Roxy is 12 and has a physical disability which means she uses a powerchair. She also has eating difficulties and finds alot of fruit hard to bite due to structure of her mouth. We are always looking for new and easy ways to get healthy snacks into her. Would LOVE to try Annie’s fruit flats. They definitely sound like a texture that would be easy for her to eat.
My two girls (10 and 8 years) would love to trial these. We’re always looking for new things to include in their lunchbox to make mix things up and make it a bit more interesting! These look delicious
I would love to be apart of the trial, Ive got 3 kids aged 5-9. With school going back in a week this will be a great addition to their lunch boxes for the new school year.
Yes please, my two boys, 7 and 9 would love to try these!

I have two (of 3)kids in the required age bracket – a boy who is almost 7, and a 9 yr old girl. Both of them are extremely fussy eaters, (one with sensory issues) so I am always on the lookout for new things for them to try.
Finding lunchbox appropriate foods that they will actually eat is nigh impossible.
I would love to be a reviewer, with 3 kids our food budget is quite tight and we can’t always stretch it to try exciting new products like this.
Would love to be considered to trial these, look like something my boys might enjoy
These look fabulous, Miss 5 starts school this year and would love to trail these as a lunchbox option. Handbag snacks are also a necessity. Love that they are 100% fruit!
Yes please I have a 7 and 9 year old and I am always looking for new ideas of lunch box or on the go snacks 🙂
Yum, these sound great. My daughter is 7 and back to school soon, these could be a great way to get more fruit in the lunchbox!
Would love my kids to try these. Mr 5 has a sweet tooth & finding lunchbox snacks that he’ll eat but are healthy is definitely a mission. My 8 year old will eat anything but miss 12 has a recently diagnosed nut allergy and has become very particular about the things she eats that ‘may contain nuts’. So a sweet treat that is completely nut free would be perfect for her.
My child is 6 and I would love to try a new product to keep
Him going with more selection of snacks
I have a 4 year old son who is always snacking. Would love him to try the Annie’s airedried fruit flats any opportunity to try and add a healthy snack to his lunch box is always a massive plus!
My daughter is 2.5 and we buy these often!
My kid is 101/2 I would like try it for him as it’s fruit based with no preservatives and gluten-free. My son love eating fruits. it would be great for lunch box. Thanks Kidspot for giving chance of new products.
Would love to try these for the kids mr 5 is coeliac so we are always on the look out for gluten free snacks and miss 9 would love to taste test them
Yes please 6 and 7 year old would love to review these please
My 6 year old daughter absolutely loves fruity snacks.
Would love to try these in my 10 year old daughter’s lunchbox.
These look great always after some new healthy snacks to try for my 5 and 8 year old.
We would love to try these out. I am always packing a lunch box full of snacks for when we are on the go and especially if they have no added sugar! Bonus that these would be mess free for my three year old as well.
Would love to try and review
I have 4 year old toddler
Thanks
I have two children aged 10 and 8 and have seen these at my local supermarket but have not tried them as of yet. Would love to see if would be a suitable lunchbox staple for school and a healthy snack.
My 2 children are 9 & 12, they love fruit and love trying new things, these sound great! and with school fast approaching I am always on the lookout for lunchbox ideas! 😊
We would love to give Annie’s Fruit Flats a go!
We have three boys aged 7,5 & 3 who are fruit mad!
We are often on the road adventuring and unfortunately by the end of the day the fresh fruit isn’t looking so fab – so I think these would be a great alternative to have sitting in the car.
Additionally as our 5yo is both gluten and dairy free; we find it tricky finding “on the go” snacks for him that aren’t plain and boring – he would love these for sure!
My son is 8 years old. I am always looking for new nutritious lunchbox snacks.
These would be amazing for tiny boys to try (5 and 8). These would be great to pop in their backpacks for their weekend sports, they are very active kids and having easy packaged food on the go for them is a must.
