The Balancing Act and Funky Monkey Snacks are going “bananas” over an innovative healthy snack for your child’s back pack…..

This will probably be the first time a parent accepts this answer from their child….  “The Funky Monkey made me eat it!” 

 Funky Monkey Snacks are wholesome freeze-dried fruit snacks that offer moms a healthy alternative to traditional snack items like chips and cookies. Moms also love them because they are easy to put in lunch bags or give out as an after school snack.  If what we’re talking about so far is “raisin” your curiosity…  you’ll want to check out The Balancing Act as they welcome Funky Monkey Snacks-- airing August 20th on Lifetime Television at 7a.m. (Eastern/Pacific—check your local listings).

 Funky Monkey uses a unique freeze-drying process to give fruit a fun crunch while retaining the natural goodness.  Each package contains three of the four daily recommended servings of fruit and has no added sugar, colors, flavors or preservatives.  Besides being USDA-certified organic-- they have virtually no fat and about the same amount of sugar as a medium sized apple.

 Funky Monkey Snacks come in four awesome varieties: Bananamon® (freeze-dried organic banana and organic cinnamon), Carnaval Mix™ (freeze-dried organic banana, organic pineapple, apple, papaya and raisins), Jivealime® (freeze dried organic pineapple and organic lime juice), and Purple Funk® (freeze-dried organic banana and organic açai).

 You’ll find these great tasting snacks at Target, Whole Foods Market and other grocery stores, as well as on Amazon.com.  If you want more information about Funky Monkey Snacks or where to find them, check out http://www.funkymonkeysnacks.com/.
