The time of neon colored and artificial fruit icy pops is long over! Thank goodness because I can’t tell you how the thought of Mia biting into a tube of frozen food dye and corn syrup was making me a bit nauseous. Introducing Power of Fruit, the one of a kind pure fruit frozen fruit bar.
It’s rare that I get this excited about a product review but I fully stand behind this one. Power Of Fruit bars are a new concept in the fruit bar industry. Get this, they are actually made of fruit! Real fruit and nothing else. There are no added preservatives, chemicals, artificial or ”natural” flavors, corn syrup, dyes, or sugar. It’s just sweet and delicious fruit. It’s that simple…Seriously. Power Of Fruit bars come in five flavors: CherryBerry, Orange Tango, All-Fruit, Tropical, and BananaBerry. They are 100% frozen fruit, less than 36 calories a bar, no artificial colors, sweeteners or preservatives, less than 10 grams of sugar and the best benefit of all is that one bar represents half of one fruit serving.
Over the past week I gave bars to Mia and five of her friends. All but one favored these to the neon bars you find in the grocery store. She couldn’t get over that there was actual fruit bits in the bar. The rest of the kids, including Mia, absolutely loved them. Tropical was by far the favorite, with BananaBerry second, then Orange Tango, CherryBerry, and All-Fruit following. Mia now asks for them daily and I have no problem giving them to her. Actually, as a real food advocate, I feel quite good about it.
Over all a great review for Power Of Fruit and I fully recommend you grab a box for your kids (or yourself) to help brighten those hot summertime blues!

How have these not been made before? Yes’ you can make them easy at home but what mom in the summer has time inbetween everything to do that on a daily basis? I love this idea! Hopefully, I can find them near me or win some:) Oh and we cool off with a hose lol I’m not fancy. my poor kids!
Jenna
Going to a movie. The theaters usually have the AC cranked up high. Or running through the sprinkler.
Those bars look awesome. I’ll have to check the HEB the next time I go.
kate

Frozen fruit (watermelon, organic strawberries, grapes, canteloupe, blueberries, blackberries) for the kids and sweet tea for me…but, water served in glass is always the best choice ;) Would love to try these with my crew!
Kim
Cold watermelon…or a Power of Fruit bar! Love ‘em!
April Cantrell
We have constant fans blowing, sprinklers running, and everything we do is under some sort of shade cover! Louisiana is HOTT!
January B
Sprinklers, going to the pool, a cold fresh watermelon
Kelli
We love playing in the yard with the hose on. It is by far my son’s favorite activity. I let him get as messy as can be with his pops and cones and then rinse him off with the hose! Love all you do and share.

We beat the heat by making healthy fruit smoothies. These bars look amazing! We would love to try them!

Getting out of town!!! This week it has been 111 to 113 degrees in the Valley of the Sun (Phoenix). Love is the only thing that keeps me here!
Jennifer R.
Ice cream and lots of it! :)
Jenny
we love making our own ice pop creations and swimming
Colleen
This is such great timing. I have been on the hunt for something like this for my little one. Everything in the stores is so processed.
We have been staying cool with frequent trips to the neighborhood pool.
Rachel
Watermelon is good, as are strawberries. I LOVE iced coffee and tea in the summer. A good cold can of Zevia is good too! :)

Get our playing in early in the morning and stay inside til the heat passes. Lots of ice water and seltzer!
Betty
Lots of ice water! And going shopping in air conditioned places. :) Just found you on gojee- love it!
JHP
Air-conditioning, pool time, lemon water, watermelon, cold beer…the usual suspects. ;)

My kids love those artificial ice pops, but I am in the same boat with you…they are just sugar and food dye. However, if you find some of the kids yogurt in the tubes, like GoGurt, you can freeze them. The kids still get the fruity popsicle taste, and I feel lots better about the snack choice!

A very very good idea! We can’t eat GoGurt here because of the artificial flavor and dye. It also has more sugar than a can of Coke. It really does a number on my girl’s sensitive stomach. But a great idea to make at home without the high sugar and dye!
