Fast & Fruity : Giveaway

I have a confession.

I have been known to buy those squeezy sachets of fruit and veg from the baby food aisle. 

For myself.

I figure it's a healthy snack on the run, right?

Given my guilty pleasure, I was keen to try out the latest offering on the puree market.

Fast & Fruity is all natural, with absolutely no added sugar.

And just to show off, it's also gluten free, with no added preservatives, sulphites or sodium.

I was sent the Fast & Fruity range with some suggested uses and recipes - and I was all like wait...what... you're not meant to just neck the packet in 5 seconds flat?

While that is an acceptable use, they're also great condiment style - like mixed in with porridge or natural yoghurt, or even added to DIY icy poles, cakes and muffins.

So much better than their tinned counterparts, as they're 100% fruit - no sugary, sickly sweet syrup.

Hot tip : They're also excellent in cocktails.  Mix vodka, ice, mineral water and a pouch of Fast & Fruity in the blender and hellooooo tropical cocktails quicker than you can say "has anyone seen the cocktail umbrellas and bendy straws?".

Fast & Fruity is available from Coles, mixing it with their inferior canned cousins.  Which is a total plus for people like me who normally skulk around the baby food aisle for their fix of pureed fruity goodness.

Thanks to Fast & Fruity, I not only have three fab prize packs in time for school holidays culinary creations, but they also supplied the competition blurb.
