Funky Monkey Snacks offer portable solution for dieters who snack

FISHERS, Ind. Funky Monkey Snacks has launched its new, “go-anywhere,” pre-packaged fruit snacks aimed at helping dieters fulfill snack cravings in a healthy way.

Funky Monkey fruit snacks are bite-sized and freeze-dried for crispiness. The company said that a 1-ounce snack package contains enough fruit to fulfill three of the four recommended daily servings.

“New Year’s is a time when people resolve to eat better and lose weight,” Matt Herzog, president of Funky Monkey Snacks said. “Replacing junk food and unhealthy snacks with Funky Monkey gives your body the vitamins and minerals it needs while eliminating empty calories—and they’re totally delicious.”

Funky Monkey Snack varieties have fun names such as Bananamon banana and cinnamon snacks, the Carnaval Mix which contains apple, banana, pineapple, papaya and raisins, Jivealime which is made of freeze-dried pineapple flavored with lime juice and Purple Funk which contains banana and acai berries.

Each pack of Funky Monkey Snacks contains around 110 calories. The snacks are also gluten-free, kosher and USDA-certified organic. They can be found at natural stores such as HyVee, Whole Foods Market, Winn-Dixie and others across the United States.
