 Loved by kids and adults September 15, 2008
My 18 month old loves the funky purple and the cinnamon banana ones. The other flavors were okay, but not loved. So we switched to subscriptions of the two flavors mentioned above. As they say on the package, eat them all at one sitting (or at least in one day) as they don't last after you've opened the package. A great way to take bananas on the road!

I wanted to try these because the name was catchy, the packaging was bright and colorful and I really like the taste and crunch of freeze dried fruit for snacking. I also purchased this item because it contained a variety of flavors to taste test. Unfortunately, For a variety pack I didn't find a whole lot of variety. Two of the four flavors were primarily bananas -- Purple Funk (bananas with an acai coating) and Bananamon (bananas with a cinnamon). The flavor I preferred was Jivalime (pineapple and lime). It has a very robust flavor. The lime is strong and makes it very tart. The Carnival mix was just OK. This was a mixture of banana, pineapple, apple, papaya, and raisins. The pieces were very small in this mix. I would have preferred bigger pieces of papaya, apple and pineapple.
There are several other freeze-dried fruit mixes that I personally like better - perhaps because they have more traditional flavors. The Crispy Green product line is a favorite of mine and is comparable price-wise to the Funky Monkey products. For great peach flavor try Crispy Green Fruit Snacks, Crispy Peaches, 2.2-Ounce Pouches (Pack of 3). I also like the Crispy Green dried pineapple snack Crispy Green Fruit Snacks, Crispy Pineapples, 2.2-Ounce Pouches (Pack of 3). With Crispy Green you get 3 individual serving bags inside of a bigger bag. You actually get 9 bags of snacks. The extra packaging really does keep the fruit crispy and great tasting for a long time.
Sensible Foods also makes a delicious crispy snack called Sensible Foods Crunch Dried Snacks, Cherry Berry, 0.75-Ounce Pouches (Pack of 24) - great crunch and flavor. Cherry Berry is my personal favorite but Sensible Foods has several other tasty flavors, too, including a tropical fruit mix.
Pretty Good July 12, 2008
My favorites were the Purple Funk (bananas w/acai) and the Bananamon (bananas w/cinnamon). My least favorite was the Carnival Mix because the pieces were all really small and a few times I bit into something hard (I probably wouldn't buy that one ever again). Freeze-dried fruit makes sense because it won't spoil and the fruit doesn't lose any nutrients in the process. If it weren't for the price, I'd order more.
Yummm! May 2, 2008

These are great! I feel like Im eating candy, its hard to believe they are just fruit! I love them all. The java lime is a bit sour so if you dont like sour these might not be for you. The rest are all sweet. I love these and will buy them again.

I bought and tried the funky monkey snacks and I like them. They are handy to have around, no cutting, no peeling, just eat and go. I don't really care for fruit, so this is an ideal way for me to get my servings of fruit. I do think it is a little expensive, but I think of my health as a priority. These are also very handy if you travel. I took them on my last few flights for snacks. It felt better to eat the fruit snack than my usual chips and candy.
Also, these are different than your regular dried fruit, they are airy and crispy. The crunch is great and it's a little snack I can gobble up and feel ZERO guilt about.
