Review of Fit & Active Raisin Apple Crisps

 
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.
