Did you know, the Food Standards Agency recommend that children from the age of 5 should eat at least 5 portions of fruit and vegetables a day, just like adults? What’s more, nutritionists suggest starting to increase portions of fruit and vegetables from the age of 2, to ensure children are up to 5-a-day by the age of 5. Whilst many of us find it difficult enough to eat enough fruit and veg ourselves, trying to meet the 5-a-day target for our kids can be even more of a struggle.
Even more worrying is a new FSA survey which revealed most packed lunches failed to meet basic nutritional requirements and some youngsters were so used to pre-packaged foods they didn’t recognise common fruits such as a pear, kiwi or tangerine!
Humzingers Fruit Stix have been specially developed to address the needs of busy parents struggling to ensure their children are eating enough fruit. Made with 100% concentrated fruit, Humzingers are equal to 3 times their weight in fresh fruit so are a great way to contribute towards their 5-a-day.
Humzingers contain a wide array of nutrients, are low in fat, high in energy, and perfect for lunch boxes, picnics, playtimes or simply days out. Not only are they a fun tasty snack, but unlike many so called ‘healthy’ fruit bars, Humzingers contain no added sugar.
Humzingers are individually wrapped in brightly coloured foil-fresh packaging and are available in 10 mouth-watering flavours: Apple, Apricot, Banana, Cherry, Blackcurrant, Pear, Pineapple, Plum, Strawberry & Tropical, and suitable for children aged 12 months and upwards, Humzinger real Fruit Stix are naturally sweet, but not sugar sweet, making them a healthy alternative to chocolate and crisps.
