Simply's Bites are Made with Freeze-Dried Fruit & Skim Milk Yogurt
Laura McQuarrie — May 7, 2021 — Lifestyle
After seeing a shift in consumer shopping behaviors, Simply decided to venture beyond natural gum and mint products and explore the creation of candy with its all-new Smoothie Bites. The clean, natural and crunchy bites are snackable treats that are made with freeze-dried fruit pieces and skim milk yogurt. The bites share four grams of natural fruit per serving and just 75 calories per bag.
Made with real fruit and non-GMO ingredients, the Strawberry Banana Yogurt Smoothie Bites are free from added sugar and artificial sweeteners, since they are already naturally sweet. The free-from Smoothie Bites are also made without nuts, soy, gluten, corn and sesame, so they have the potential to appeal to a wide range of ingredient-conscious consumers who are craving a sweet snack.
