Back to School Means Back to Basic Nutrition for Kids

Brownwood Acre’s FruitFast Bars - a healthy addition to brown bag lunches

Traverse City, MI, September 19, 2008 --(PR.com)-- Back to school means back to school lunches. With hectic schedules, the challenge of packing healthy and tasty lunches can often be a daunting task for many parents. Unfortunately, it’s easy to get stuck in the PB & J rut, packing the same thing everyday with little variety or nutritional value. Regrettably, parents are oftentimes faced with foregoing nutrition for convenience.

With the introduction of FruitFast® Fruit Supplement Bars, the brown bag lunch doesn’t have to be humdrum or nutritionally void.

Brownwood Acres, producer of America’s leading Tart Cherry Juice Concentrate and FruitFast Fruit Softgel Capsules, has created a USDA developed and patented Fruit Supplement Bar, perfect for the brown bag lunch or after school treat. The FruitFast Bars are 100% fruit and do not contain any refined sugars, dairy or preservatives. The bars come in five varieties: CherryFlex®, WildBlueBerry IQ®, Wonderful Pomegranate, MixedBerry and MixedBerry with Chocolate.

The CherryFlex® and Wild BlueberryIQ ® bars provide 300 mg of Anthocyanins per bar. The Wonderful Pomegranate Bar delivers over 100 mg of Ellagic Acid. These three bar varieties are 25 grams in size, 100 calories and have zero grams of fat. Best of all, each bar delivers two servings of fruit. Each bar provides the nutritional equivalent of eating one whole apple and one serving of that particular bar's fruit. The FruitFast Fruit Supplement Bars offer the variety and nutritional value that parents can feel good about.

FruitFast MixedBerry Fruit Supplement Bars are larger at 40 grams each and contain premium grade red and black raspberries, wild blueberries and strawberries and apples in every bite. A second version of the MixedBerry Bars adds tempting Dark Chocolate for a predictable taste treat. In all, the FruitFast bar line-up boasts eight different fruits…without any additives, preservatives or fillers.

“We have combined the dark-skinned fruits known for their high antioxidant content in a process that includes their skin and pulp and not just their juice,” said company owner, Steve de Tar. “Without question, our goal with all our fruit supplements is to develop healthy and convenient fruit products without all the non-pronounceable chemicals and additives. We continue to be the leader in the industry for innovative ways to consume healthy fruit.” *

All five varieties of the bars are not only nutritious, but convenient, affordable and available all year-round as well. They do not require refrigeration and will not melt in hot, humid weather. They won’t crush or bruise as does fresh fruit, so tossing one in a backpack won’t result in a mushy mess.

Finally, convenience doesn’t mean low nutrient, artificial flavoring or preservative-filled food. Parents can rest assured that the FruitFast Fruit Supplement Bars are made from whole fruit and nothing else. They are the ideal solution to completing a healthy back to school lunch or to providing a nutritious treat any time.
