Nature Valley Fruit Crisps

By: Tanya Taylor, PhD | Jan 2, 2007

Nature Valley Fruit Crisps are baked pieces of real apples which come in Original Apple and Cinnamon Apple varieties. The Apple Crisps are meant to be thin and crispy - like chips - but they are slightly thicker and have a sweet taste. I tried the Original Apple and really liked it as a snack, but what I didn't like was that each pouch of apple crisps is really small. It might be good as a snack for kids, but for us grown ups, I need a little more substance.

Each box of Nature Valley Fruit Crisps comes with five 0.5 ounce pouches of the baked apple pieces. One pouch is only 50 calories, no fat or protein and only 13 grams of total carbohydrates which includes 1 gram of fiber (4% of the daily recommended amount) and 10 grams of sugars.

A box of Apple Crisps costs about $2.50 which works out to about $0.50 for each pouch, and you can't really beat 50 calories for a snack. Another plus is that the ingredient is simply dried apples. The only negative as I mentioned before is the small portion size, but this might still be good for something quick on the go, or to add to yogurt or make your own trail mix.
