Wise Up
"Get your daily servings of fruit" from Tropicana FruitWise strips and bars, says the Web site. The strips deliver one serving of fruit, the bars two according to Tropicana. Both are mostly apple puree concentrate and apple juice concentrate, with other purees and concentrates, depending on the flavor - cherry, raspberry, strawberry, etc.
Since puree is less processed than juice, FruitWise probably delivers more of what is in real fruit than fruit juice does. But fruit it ain't!
The beauty of fruits and veggies is that they fill you up without loading you down. Calorie dense foods like FruitWise squeeze their calories ( 70 in each 2/3 oz strip and 140 in each 1 1/2 oz bar) into very little food.
FruitWise but Calorie Foolish.
