Dole stirs up new better-for-you snacks

WESTLAKE VILLAGE, Calif. -- Dole has unveiled its latest innovation when it comes to healthier snacking.

Dole's new Mixations snacks showcase combinations of fruit sauces and chunks of real fruit in four flavor pairings: Apple-Strawberry Sauce with dices of apple, Pineapple-Mango Sauce with Pineapple Pieces, Peach-Apple Sauce with Pineapple Pieces and Apple-Raspberry Sauce with dices of apple.

Dole Mixations feature non-GMO fruit, no high fructose corn syrup and no artificial flavors. Plus, they are rich in Vitamin C and naturally gluten free. With snacking on the rise, Dole Mixations are an easy way to incorporate fruit into a snacking routine while satisfying cravings. 

"We are excited to diversify our platform with this innovation which offers a perfect combination of smooth fruit sauces and juicy chunks of real fruit," said Brad Bartlett, president, Dole Packaged Foods, North America & Europe. "Consumers are always looking for delicious, convenient ways to enjoy fruit. With four different flavors, DOLE Mixations offer combinations that are ideal for kids and adult lunches, after-school snacks or a quick bite during the workday."

Dole Mixations are also designed to inspire creativity with whimsical lids that can be customized with drawings or personal messages for kids and loved ones. As parents pack their kids lunches this Fall, they can #MixInImagination with an encouraging message or include a pen for children to express their creativity on the lid before they dive in. 

Dole Mixations are available now at retail stores nationwide for approximately $2.79 for a four pack.
