After all that overindulgence last week, we're embracing opportunities to integrate simple, nutritious foods back into our daily meals.  Admittedly, we're also striving for smaller portions this week too.  And as for snacking: we've discovered a perfect palate cleanser that's kid-friendly to boot.

Peeled Snacks are just what their name implies: delicious, nutritious, dried, peeled fruits. A great source of vitamins and minerals, each individual snack contains a full serving of organic fruit (like mango, banana, apple and pineapple, to name a few) with no added sugar whatsoever.  Available in individual and family-size packs, Peeled Snacks are available online as well as Whole Foods and Starbucks locations throughout the U.S., ranging from $1 to $2 per ounce. 

The snacks themselves are delicious enough, but even more so is the fact that 10% of proceeds from the American Farmland Sampler benefit the American Farmland Trust.  Comprised of flavors like "Apple-to-the-Core," "Raisin Expectations" and "GoFigure" (figs, dates and apricots), there's something for kiddos and parental units alike, and it's all wrapped up in a tiny little pouch that gives back to the community that created its contents.  Now, doesn't that sound tasty?
