In trying my best to lose 15 to 20 pounds by June, I have successfully dropped about eight pounds since the beginning of March. The secret has been nothing more than keeping a calorie journal and using calorie calculators to lose weight. I like calorie calculators because even though they require constant monitoring of daily caloric intake, there is an upside. The upside is the ability to cheat or eating more treats during those times when I will be spending part of the day burning excessive calories through doing a lot of physical work or exercise. When I don’t have the time to work out and my calories limits are rigid, I choose to cut back on calories and try snacks such as ALDI’s Fit & Active Raisin Apple Crisps. Just how good is this snack? Read on to get the skinny on this ALDI product.
Taste
Sandwiched between two thin wafer or cookie layers, there
exists a spread of raisin apple jam; made with real fruit. I consider it a jam
because it doesn’t seem anything like the processed fruit newton filling that I
expected. The flavor was actually much better and seemed to resemble a jam or
preserve that the nice elderly lady down the street would bring over after a
Sunday of canning fresh fruit. The taste exceeded my expectations and does not
come across too strong in the apple or raisin flavors.
Appearance
The product consists of a green package containing five mini
pouches (each approximately 1.5 ounces).
Each pouch has three little crisps.
The crisp or cookie outside is light vanilla colored with the dark
raisin tinted apple jam in the middle. These will hold steady at room
temperature and make a great snack to pack in briefcase or kids backpack. The
calorie count of the Fit N Active Apple raisin wafers are 170 calories per
package.
Price
One box of these wafers sets me back about $1.99. The unit
breakdown is $.40 a pack for a mid morning or mid afternoon appetite
suppressant. I sometimes even have one for dessert after lunch and keep the
remaining two as a mid afternoon snack to carry me over to dinner.
My overall opinion of this item is that these crisps are a solid
buy. These crisps are also offered with a wild berry filling which is average
in comparison to the apple product. Just my two cents.
