Live Crispy Fruit Chips - Pineapple-Powered Snack Packed with 100% Natural Fruit - Antioxidant-Rich, Vitamin-Packed (Strawberry/Pineapple) 4 Pack

First, I do like these. They taste good and contain nothing but the two fruits. Mine even had 50 grams, which is more than the 43 promised (but this is still very little food by weight). Sadly, they have the word “crispy” all over the bag and if these are not anything, they are not crispy.The texture is unique. My guess is these are made by pulverizing the two fruits into a liquid (probably removing some, but not all of the pulp/fiber in the process), and then whipping the liquid up into a dense foam so the liquid contains a lot of air bubbles. They then pour this air-filled mixture onto a flat surface to dry it. They are like a “fruit roll up” or “fruit leather” that has had a lot of air frothed into it before being rolled out. The resulting texture is sticky (just like fruit leather), gooey (just like fruit leather), but with a slight crispy texture due to all the air in it. It’s not crispy like a chip. It’s not even crispy. If Rice Krispies were made with fruit liquid instead of puffed rice, that would be the texture. It’s like a very dense dried foam, but because the foam is made from a sticky, gooey substance, the sticky and gooey win out. As you can see in the picture, it’s all clumped together due to the stickiness, and they are a bit difficult to separate. It’s good. It’s unique. It’s healthy. I like it. It’s airy in a dense foamy way. But it’s not crispy.Whipping in the air makes these take a lot more space than they would otherwise with only 1.5 ounces of food. The bag is a dense plastic. For 9 dollars (at the time of this review), this fruit cost just a bit under 100 dollars per pound. Many ice creams do the same thing. “Slow churned” is just code for “You’re paying for a lot of whipped in air. We sell this by volume, not by weight, so you get less, but the air makes it fill the same old container so it looks like you get more than you do”.What would be great is if this were offered in a bigger bag. Half their cost is probably the expensive, thick bag and a slightly larger bag with more product would give a better bang for the consumer’s buck. These are good, so they’d be worth buying as a rare treat, but they are not a good deal for regular consumption.Again, I really like them, but “crispy” is the wrong word.

I read the reviews and almost didnt buy these. So glad I tried them. I get that some people may complain about crumbling and powder but they are super light and airy and crispy and what do you expect when packaged and shipping? I think it comes down to how they are mailed.. not the product. The PRODUCT is SOOO good !! I'll buy these again and again EVEN if I only get powder to sprinkle on ice cream or cake or dump in my mouth like its a pixistick! That's an idea.. they'd be great pixisticks. Anyway.... give them a try.. and dont be upset if you get half a bag of broken crumbles... If you like pineapple and coconut you will love the flavor and wish you'd bought more. Youll get alot of crumbles but you'll eat those too. totally worth the purchase

This is a very small bag, it's just a blended up dehydrated fruit pouch so there's not much weight to it. So for the price this really is a lot, BUT it tastes great. No added sugars just blended fruit mush that's dehydrated and broken into chunks. You could do this same thing at home for less, but as most things you'll pay a premium for someone else to do it.Overall I like it as a snack, if it was cheaper I'd get it again but at the current price it's too expensive

I'm in my office quite a bit and for many hours after dinner, so I need snacks to keep me going until bedtime. Last night, I replaced my normal snacks with these.The bag claims 1.5 servings and a serving size is 1, but the picture on the front shows 13 chips. Really, I think this just means a serving is one 28 gram portion. So you truly get about 1.5 servings in a bag and, having eaten a little over half the bag last night casually trying them out, I'd say that seems right. As with most snacks targeted to people watching calories, 1 serving isn't really filling, but does satisfy my need for a quick snack. While it's possibly just the bag I got, the maybe about half or less of the chips were in tact, meaning they were the size I'd expect from the photo. The rest were smaller bits.You know when you taste something for the first time and make that face in the first contact, expecting sour or bitter? As much as I tried to keep my mind free from expectations, that was me. Happily, I found these to taste better than expected with only a hint of bitter from the lack of added sugar. I went through all the large pieces and stopped after about 1 serving so my wife could try them too. Given the ingredient list is literally just blueberries and pineapple, that was a pleasant surprise.I imagine some cost is spent in making the packaging look nice and be resealable and I'd love to see these with more servings to get more value from the $/serving, which feels a little high here.

Wow, These chips are seriously crunchy! Part of me was expecting a chewy texture closer to dried fruit, was pleasantly surprised by the light and airy texture. They're incredibly crispy and flavorful. My toddlers love them and I feel great about giving them a super clean nutritious snack made of only 2 whole food ingredients! I also think they would be a great addition to a salad for an extra crunch and burst of fruity goodness. Overall, highly recommend!
