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.

My two daughters are 7 and 10. They love fruits so much especially my younger one, we call her ” fruit princess”! Apple is one of their favorite fruits and we always cut them into wedges for serve. However, during school terms, it’s either a rush to cut them in the morning for their lunch boxes, or if did at the previous night, the pieces are not so fresh looking in the next morning. SO, I think these apple/fruit flats are perfect to solve the problem! With a new school term coming soon, I can’t wait to try this product for my girls! : )
I have a 7 and 4 year old and always looking for a healthy yummy option for their lunchboxs that look appealing and get eaten. It’s veen awhile since I have bought these for myself.
Oooh yes please, it’s great to trial and have options for lunchboxes and in the car etc. Especially it to be a healthy snack and NZ made.
My daughter Isabella would love to try these delicious, low sugar and healthy fruit snacks. She would enjoy sharing them with her friends.
I’d love to give these a go with my kiddos. I have one child who is dairy free, so always look for good snacks to have when on the run, for after school sports, anytime snacks really. These sound great!
My girls who are 5 and 7 would love to try these. They love snacking and are ALWAYS hungry (eyeroll). These look like something they could have as an after school snack or take with us on outings to keep their energy up.
My 3 primary kids would live to sample these as part of their school lunch treat for the new school year. I recall these as a child and being my favourite snack ever and my kiddies will likely fall in love also. They look an easy, portable and enticing healthy snack!
Something new, healthy and exciting to pop in our 5 year old daughter’s lunchbox for school next week!
My older son is 4 years old and I would love him to try these products. They seem to be a great option on the go snacks or part of the lunch box when he is going to primary school next year.
Like most kids, my daughters love to snack. In particular, my eldest daughter, who is 6, loves fruit of any type. It is wonderful to know that she loves something so healthy, but it is such a pain to cart it around for her. Fruit in its classic form ends up sticky, bruised, brown or simply inedible if we store it or try and carry it fr any length of time. I feel like these fruit flats could be the perfect solution for us. Fruit flattened into an easily storage and transportable form would be fantastic to prevent those hangry situations, and also perfect to pop in her lunchbox for an after school treat. I know she would love to try them to see if they live up to her high expectations!
Neve is 6 and likes trying new things
We would love to trial Annie’s fruit strips. My boys are 2 and 4 and this would be a lovely daycare lunchbox addition. Plus nice to have something easy for on the go!
These would be wonderful to try. My school age children are 11,8 and 6 and these would be fab lunch box fillers for them. They are always hungry and eat great lunches and use lots of energy so trying Annie’s bars would be great!
My three children (ages 9.5/ 6.5 / 2.5) would love to be considered for this trial. They love on-the-go snacks that are healthy and great for school lunchboxes. They are good honest reviewers!
My daughter is 6. I struggle to find healthish, energy giving snacks at school that she likes . This could be the answer! Would love to see if she likes Annie’s fruit flats
I would LOVE to trial this product. My son is nearly 3 and he has fruit sticks a lot. He loves the sweetness of the fruit sticks. He also likes fruit nuggets to snack on. We also eat fruit sticks and nuggets as a family so this would be an amazing little treat. Thankssss! 🍒🍇🍊🫐🥝🥝🍉🍌🍐🍋
Yummy, Master 8 would love to try these new flavours. Hard to get him to try new things, so would be fantastic to try these, thanks Kidspot and Annie’s for the opportunity 😊
My son is 5 and would love to try these in his lunch for when he starts school
My daughter is nine and she loves fruity snacks but she can be quite fussy but I think she would enjoy this so we would love to review and see how they taste!
My daughter is 5 and starts school next week. These would be great to try as a lunchbox snack. Always good to find food that doesn’t require refrigeration.
I have 2 children (age 8 & 11) who would love to be part of this trial. Master 8 has Coeliacs Disease, so I’m always on the lookout for safe and healthy snacks for him, and Miss 11 is fruit mad, so these would make an easy and portable snack for her dance bag.
I would love to try this for my 11yo, 9yo, and 10month old , they love trying new things and with school coming up this would be a great addition to there lunch boxes 🙂
My son is almost 5 and about to start school, I would love to give this a go to see if we can include it in his lunch box rotation.
We would love to trial the Annie’s fruit bars. My daughter is 5 years and a huge fan of fruit. These would make a wonderful addition to her lunchbox once she goes back to school.
I would love my son to try this product as he is 7 years old and needs to get fruit in him and this sounds like an awesome product that would be good for him, tasty and also a great lunch box filler which I am always struggling with ideas for the lunch box.
We would love to try this Annies product. My boys are 7 and 2 and this would be awesome snack for their lunch box or as a treat after dinner.
I would love for my 8yo boy to try this for his snacks at school. He will love this fruit snacks for sure, its healthy, no added preservatives/ sugar, with different variety of flavors to try. I love that it is very convenient on the go to take with us when we are out and about.
I would like to let my daughter try Annie’s Fruit Flats. She is 11, will start intermediate school next week.I like Annie’s Fruit Flats’ 100% natural fruits ingredients. My daughter doesn’t like to eat fresh fruits and veggies much, so I would think the Annie’s Fruit Flats is a healthy and perfect snack for her.
I have a 6yr old that would be so keen to try these! Always love to try different things and these sound pretty yum!
6 and 11years old.
Like to trial this – Because its a free trial! And my kids would want to pick these out in a supermarket!
