Funky Monkey Snacks – Review

I jokingly say that I have three monkeys! Trying to feed all my “monkeys” healthy snacks has become quite a challenge. I am always looking for new exciting snacks that are healthy, quick, easy, as well as conveniently low maintenance, and relatively mess-free to take on the go. I know that is a tall order and then demanding a good flavor makes it even more difficult. What is a mom to do!?

Funky Monkey Snacks have met and superseded my picky snack requirements!

They are full servings of fruit with a sweet and sour crunch sealed into a little convenient resealable pouch! The snacks come in fun flavors like: Applemon, Bananamon, Carnaval Mix, JiveALime, MangOJ, Pink Pineapple, and Purple Funk.

The Funky Monkey Snacks have 3 servings of fruit in every ounce. The packaging says that it has no added sugar, no preservatives, no added coloring, no added flavoring, is tree nut and peanut free, and is also dairy, wheat, and gluten free.

When you open the snack product it simply looks like dried fruit- if you look closely you can recognize chunks of pineapple in the pink pineapple pictured here.

However- amazingly this dried fruit is not chewy or rubbery- it is a dry crunchy version of dried fruit without the styrofoamy powdery astronaut freeze dried flavor and texture. Don’t ask me how they do it because I am not sure! But the fruit is dry and crunchy and it actually tastes “juicy” and somewhat sour when you eat it.

We took Funky Monkey Snacks along with us in the car whenever we were in a rush, to the zoo, and Grant liked it so much that I even packed it into his lunch. The first time we served it to Carter he balked, but after trying it again and seeing Grant and Avery eat it up, he didn’t pause before diving into a healthy snack- which made this Tired Mama monkey happy!
