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.

I have an 8 year old and a 12 year old. The 8 year old can’t stomach the texture of fruit. I really struggle finding lunchbox options as most are full of sugar or unhealthy fats. These sound great – We would love to give them a go
I’d love to trial these with my child who will be returning to school next week, these sound like a healthier treat option 🙂
We are always looking for new healthy, gluten free and NO added sugar snacks for miss 6 year olds lunch box! I’m sure her little sisters would love to try them too. These sound so delicious and easy to put into her lunch box. YES PLEASE!
This would be a great option to try out for our three children aged 5 and 7. Bring on the school lunches!!
I think these would be perfect to trial for my 6 year old son’s lunchbox when he goes back to school.
My 6 year old loves anything fruit related so would love to trial these for you. They would be the perfect healthy and nutritious lunch box “treat” that as a parent I am always looking for!
I am sure he will be fighting his younger sisters for them
We’re always looking for foods that will suit my son who has multiple food allergies. Snack bars are near impossible. These would be a great alternative to try

Would love to try this for my two 5 year olds. I’m always on the look out for new lunchbox snacks
I would love to trial these with my 11 year old son. Once school starts we will again be running from school to activities and I imagine these will be great to give him a boost while in the car.
We would love to trial these, always looking for healthy snacks for the grandchildren
ONly beginning of the year, and thinking I’ll start running out of ideas for lunch box before I know it. I would feel less guilty giving these to them instead of biscuits or processed sweet treats for a snack too.
Would love to try these on my 8year old try and get more fruit into him they sound delicious and great for the lunchbox.
We are currently trialling lunchbox snacks for our nearly Miss 5 who is due to start school next month and would love to try these real fruit sticks.
My kid is 8 and we are trying to get more fruit in not her diet and these look like a sweet treat she may think is like roll ups or candy but healthier
As a busy mum I would love to find a snack for my kids that is healthy as well as tasty.
I would love to trial these for our 8year old. They would provide a heathly alternative to sugary treats.
We would love to try these, my daughter is 9. These look like a great healthy option for her lunchbox or when we’re out and about. I wouldn’t mind adding them to my snack drawer at work too so I have a healthy option too
Yum, these sound amazing!! My two tamariki, 5 and 11, would love to trial this product. I love that there is no added sugar or preservatives, sounds like a great potential product for snacking or lunchboxes.
My 10 and 7 year olds would love to try these! They sound like a perfect addition to their lunchboxes and getting extra fruit into them would be an added bonus!

My daughter is 5 and she would love these in her lunch box! Always need healthy options for snacks so we are filling up on the good stuff!
I would love for Master 6 to trial these. He’s absolutely obsessed with fruit but sometimes it is hard to fit in the lunchbox. These would be a fantastic alternative. Thank you

These look delicious, forever trying to find ‘healthy’ treats for the school lunches! With 4 children between the age of 4 and 11 it is sometimes a mission to find suitable foods they all love but these look really good and we would live to try them please !
This would be brilliant for my son Luc, 5.5, to get more fruit into him. He is a snacking machine and i try to find snacks that will fill him up for longer than 2 seconds!
Hiya! My daughter Natalie is 10 and loves anything new (and sweet!) – I would really like to give these a go with her in upcoming school lunchboxes – thanks so much!
Would love to try this, enjoyed the original fruit leathers and now love the big bags of offcuts so this would be a real treat.
I would love to trial these for my 8 and 6 year old daughters. It looks like these would be a great after school snack. Thanks!
