Dryers Fruit Bars No Sugar Added









I found these at my local Fred Meyer for approx. $4 for a box of 12 bars. I found the Black Cherry, Strawberry-Kiwi, and Mixed Berry assortment but they also come in a Strawberry, Tangerine, and Raspberry assortment. Each bar has 30 calories, zero fat, 8 grms of carbs, 1 grm of fiber, 2 grms of sugar, and 2 grms of sugar alcohol. Wait! Stop! before you run to your freezer to eat a more than 2 of these in a 24 hour period, look closely at the photo above that shows the lovely little warning "Sensitive individuals may experience a laxative effect from "excess" consumption of this (sorbitol and polydextrose) ingredient" I am sure eating one or two bars a day will be fine for most post ops but don't push it. I found this out the hard way with sugar free cough drops! They are tasty and roughly the same size as a regular Popsicle. Lilith loves the Strawberry-Kiwi ones. They aren't as full of pulp as some of the brands I have tried from health food stores but they also don't have nearly as much sugar or calories as those other brands. I think we will keep buying them as Lilith likes them and they are fairly affordable.
