Have you ever looked at the ingredients on some of the kids snack foods out there? One of my favorites is fruit roll-ups, but the ingredient list is not very healthy, at all! Here's what's in one variety:
Ingredients
Ingredients in Fruit Roll-Ups as listed on the Fruit Roll-Ups Variety Pack box include pears from concentrate, corn syrup, dried corn syrup, sugar and partially hydrogenated cottonseed oil. Fruit Roll-Ups also contain 2 percent or less than 2 percent citric acid, sodium citrate, acetylated monoglycerides, fruit pectin, dextrose, maltic acid, ascorbic acid, natural flavor and the following food coloring: blue 1, red 40 and yellows 5 and 6.

Really? Do you really want to give that to your kids? Why must they add all of the extra "crap" that does no good for a healthy body? And food coloring? There are plenty of raw fruit leather recipes out there, but here's what's in mine:
MANGO BANANA
2 mangos
2 bananas
Puree the above TWO ingredients and place on teflon dehydrator sheets! SO healthy with nothing extra added. This is just as healthy as eating fresh fruit because they are dehydrated at about 95 degrees. They are SO delicious!
1 pint stawberries
1 1/2 bananas
1 tbs agave nectar
Purree the above THREE ingredients and place on teflon dehydrator sheets. I have absolutely no problems giving these to my son, and he loves them!

| It should peel right off the teflon sheets. |
 |
| Wrap them in press n seal. |
There you have it! Delicious treats for kids and adults without any extras added!
