Nurturing my inner... pocket packet

New product alert!  When I saw these on the shelf at my local grocer, my first reaction was, "Hmmm.  Not sure I'll like this hippie food."  Of course then I thought, "But I have to try them!"  Glad I did.

Dole. The name alone says fruit.

80 calorie packets.  (That's for the mango.  I think the pineapple may be 90 calories.  They also come in apple.)  To describe them, they are peanut-sized bits of dried fruit, rolled in yogurt and whole grain oats.  The oat coating was the part I found equally peculiar as intriguing.  Good that the latter part won the fight!  (I do like a good food challenge.)

Packet small enough to fit in your pocket.

They are great!  Not too sweet.  Chunks are lightly covered in the yogurt and oat coating.  Good for a quick snack on the go.  (And better for you than a candy bar.)

Pretty close to their natural state. Gems
in the rough!

Unlike a thick yogurt coating found on some other snacks, I think these would last pretty well in the heat.  And the packet was just big enough to satisfy a sweet craving I was having at the moment.  The same craving I can bet I'll be having tomorrow!  (Better throw a couple in my pockets to be prepared.  They function like an sweet craving emergency kit.)  Chew happily!
