Just a few days of sunshine and we’re already eating popsicles out here in California.  But these are not ordinary fruit bars, they are made from superfruits such as acai, blueberry and pomegranate.

Dreyer’s new fruit bars are made with real fruit and are a great source of antioxidants which helps fight free radicals.  Superfruits have been hitting the market for years.  They include fruits that are high in vitamin C and are consider to be antioxidants.  It’s rare to see them made into popsicles, when they are usually sold as health supplements or juices.

These fruit bars don’t just sound good, but are good for you!  It is sweet, but is also tart and tangy too.  I especially prefer the acai and blueberry over the pomegranate.  I assume you can whip up some of these fruit bars yourself if you can get your hands on some acai berries.

There’s even elderberry juice included in the pomegranate bars.  I like that Dryer’s keep their ingredients good and avoid things like high fructose corn syrup.

Another new thing they are doing is helping communities grow more fruit trees.  You can visit their site and vote for a community park where fruit trees will be planted.  I voted for for Santa Rosa, Ca since it’s the closet park being selected that’s near me.  Communities with the most number of votes will receive a fruit tree orchard planted by Dreyer’s Fruit Bars.  They will announce 5 winners the first of each month, May 1 through Sept 1.

“Communities across the United States are ripe for renewal, ready to receive a complete fruit orchard provided by the Dreyer’s Fruit Bars brand and the Fruit Tree Planting Foundation. Cast your vote for one of our Communities Take Root participants and help them reap the rewards of their own fresh fruit supply. “  Photo from Dreyer’s.

On top of that, Dryer’s also uses 100 % recycled paper board for it’s packaging.  Way to go Dryers!
