Tropical Fruit + Tropical Getaways

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Sunsweet Growers. All opinions are 100% mine.

Snacking throughout the day is the norm, especially when you are on-the-go a lot and need energy boosts to keep you going. I don’t want to snack on potato chips or anything I would grab behind the counter of a convenience store- those items are usually high in fat and devoid of any nutrients. So dried fruit became a favorite item for us, and SunSweet now offers two new flavors for fans of their delicious dried fruits, and both are amazingly juicy and tender, with incredible flavor.

Sunsweet’s Philippine line of dried food is adding Thai Coconut Chip and Green Mango, perfect complements to join the Mango and Pineapple flavors. To celebrate, Sunsweet is hosting a travel sweepstakes for the chance to win a trip to a tropical destination! Not that anyone really needs motivation to try delicious and healthy fruit snacks, but enjoying the new Sunsweet Philippine Tropicals flavors on a trip somewhere warm would be awesome. In New York the temperatures have been hitting the low 20s… take me anywhere warm!

The Sunsweet Philippine Tropicals flavors are all tasty, because they are sourced from microclimates with ideal growing conditions that result is amazingly succulent, juicy fruit… so how do you pick?

Sunsweet Philippine Tropicals Flavors

.
Sunsweet Philippine Green Mango are tangy because they are picked early, just as they begin to ripen. They have a sort of early mango taste, when they are still kind of firm, that gives that unique flavor.

Sunsweet Thai Coconut Chip are crunchy and have a hint of vanilla in them. These are hubby’s favorites, he eats them over his ice cream, and they really are pretty darned delicious. They are ready-to-go from the bag, just take some out and use it as a topping for anything.

Sunsweet Philippine Pineapple have an incredible fresh taste, and are dried cuts of good-sized pineapple. Very juicy and tender.

Sunsweet Philippine Mango are an old favorite made from mangoes in the Phillipines that are so tasty even the locals rave about them. They have a sweet floral taste and are America’s #1 mango. I LOVE sweet mangoes, and these are soo good! It’s like eating a fresh mango, without the messy juice squirting everywhere. This is the best way to enjoy a sweet mango!

They are all tasty, and you can try them all to #FindYourParadise. I can’t get enough of the Sunsweet Philippine Tropicals Mango, I crave it and look forward to long car drives so I can munch on some more, and my husband looks forward to his dessert topped with chopped Sunsweet Philippine Tropicals Thai coconut every night.
