Raisels! A Review AND Giveaway! -CLOSED

CLOSED

The Raisels giveaway is now closed.

As a mom I am always trying to be conscious of what Maddie is eating. There are too many headlines declaring childhood obesity an epidemic and frankly that is just scary. I think we have done pretty good so far and I am happy to say Maddie loves her fruit and veggies and definitely eats lots of them.

The troubles come when we go grocery shopping- or in other words the land of everything we do not have in the house! She gets to go wild in the granola bar section and pick out her choices (at least to some degree) and of course there is a great variety of all natural, no sugar added apple sauces that she can choose from too. Our main area of disagreement lies in gummy fruit snacks. I say no, she says yes. It's a battle.

When Team Mom approached me recently about a new product- Raisels!- I was curious. All natural-flavored, real fruit golden raisins dusted with a light sweet and sour sugar flavor. Obviously not sugar free but still not bad. Raisels come in 4 fun kid friendly flavors: Sour Apple, Sour Orange, Sour Lemon and Sour Peach (Sour Watermelon is on the way soon too!). You can purchase Raisels in a 6-pack of 1.25oz portion-controlled boxes.

The best news? Raisels have NO sodium, NO high fructose corn syrups and NO artificial sweeteners! That is a win in my book! Made with natural golden raisins this sweet and sour treat is rich in antioxidants, fat free, cholesterol free and have 100% of the US RDA for Vitamin C.

Of course that extra dusting of sugar may be a bit concerning to some parents but I feel okay about it. Raisins naturally contain 21 grams of sugar per 35 gram serving and the extra light dusting of sugar added to make Raisels (about 10% of the total weight) only bumps up the sugar content by 2 grams. Not bad. Especially not bad compared to candy, cookies, gummies or even soda!

I can certainly get behind Raisels! Okay now you want to know How Do They Taste? Great! Frankly I am not a huge fan of raisins to begin with but the sour peach flavor is super yummy. Raisels turns a normally 'eh' snack into something that makes you feel like maybe you are cheating a bit with candy!

You can find Raisels at: Walgreens, Target, Dollar General, Food Maxx, Price Chopper, Raley's, Stater Brothers, Tops, Wegmans, Weiss, Amazon, Wakefern & PriceRight.
