Would you recommend this product to a friend/fellow mum?
I would certainly recommend the Organix Goodies Chunky Fruit Bars! I say little, but they are just the right size for little hands! No junky stuff in them! Portable and with little break off bits.
How does this product make your life easier as a mum?
Knowing my little ones are enjoying a healthy guilt free snack when we are out and about is a big plus!
If you could change one thing about this product what would it be?
Perhaps other flavours.

The Organix Goodies Chunky Fruit Bars are excellent and just the right size for a snack for child. You can use it throughout the day if needed because it is in several pieces, you simply pull off. Also random flavours including dates.
How does this product make your life easier as a mum?
This is a great alternative to carrying around fruit that gets bruised in your bag but still gives your child the goodness and one of their 5 a day. Very handy size too if you don't take over carry bag. Also because you can break off pieces you keep child satisfied.
If you could change one thing about this product what would it be?
The only thing I may change is the price as for 6 bars they are quite expensive if they were to have one as their 5 a day. Also the packaging was a little tough to get into so a rushing child could get frustrated.

Would you recommend this product to a friend/fellow mum?
My daughter loved the Organix Goodies Chunky Fruit Bars and asked for one every day. I think this is a great little snack and healthy too.
How does this product make your life easier as a mum?
It made my daughter eat fruits she would ordinarily say no to.
If you could change one thing about this product what would it be?
I think the product is a little on the expensive side, you only get 5 small bars so think could be cheaper price or say 7 bars for the current price.

The Organix Goodies Chunky Fruit Bars were a real discovery for me as a mother of a sweet toothed child. I felt really at ease being able to offer my son a sweet treat which satisfied his needs yet knowing it was a really healthy product purely made up of 100% organic fruit. It's really convenient and easy to transport, being of just the right size. I felt the packaging was lovely and fun, but also of good quality materials which didn't rip open and retained product quality. The price seems fair for this product and I wouldn't hesitate to buy it myself.
How does this product make your life easier as a mum?
I am often out and about with my son and find it really hard to pack healthy snacks to take out with us, especially when in a hurry. I found this product (especially the date and apple one) have gone down really well with my fussy eating child, and he is able to indulge on a snack which I know is healthy at the same time.
If you could change one thing about this product what would it be?
The product was slightly messy to hold, being very sticky and full of moisture. If there was a way to reduce the stickiness but not sacrifice on flavour then that would be amazing.
Tested by mum Sarah Baker for the M&B Awards 2016:
Would you recommend this product to a friend/fellow mum?
They look fun, taste good and aren't full of lots of sugar and nasty which made them popular with me and my little ones. I loved the fact that the bar was made to be broken into smaller bits so that you could either share it or make sure they took their time to eat it and didn't just shove it all in their mouth in one go. They weren't as sticky as I was expecting and stayed together well while my little one was holding them. As they were individually wrapped they were easy to take out and about with us as well and my little ones recognized the fun wrappers when I got them out and saw them as a treat then which was perfect.
How does this product make your life easier as a mum?
The fact they can easily be thrown into a changing bag or hand bag made them a perfect 'on the go' snack. It made it easier for me to be out doing jobs during snack time without having to worry about what I was going to give them or finding something healthy. The apple gave them enough of sweetness that my little ones enjoyed eating them, so again I wasn't having to worry about them kicking off or wanting something different.
If you could change one thing about this product what would it be?
My only worry with them was the effect they would have on my little ones' digestion after eating them, but it seemed ok. If they could offer them in more flavours that would be even better

Would you recommend this product to a friend/fellow mum?
My little boy loves these fruit bars. The texture and consistency is just right. He has no teeth at 17 months but has no problems eating them. Light weight and compact to be able to carry round ready for snack time. The only downside was the lack of variety of flavours and they get very sticky in warmer weather
How does this product make your life easier as a mum?
Quick easy individually packaged snacks to carry around for day trips or play groups. Perfect size to hold for little fingers.
If you could change one thing about this product what would it be?
A bigger flavour variety would be great.
Tested by mum Louise Carroll for the M&B Awards 2016:
Would you recommend this product to a friend/fellow mum?
I think these bars are perfect for little ones who struggle with eating fresh fruit. “100% fruit squished into bite sized pieces” and each bar is one portion of a child’s five a day. There are two different flavours to choose from, Apple and Date and Banana and Date. Both seemed to be well liked by my little tester. The ingredients are in bold and easily explained on the back of the packet and you are reassured by knowing there is nothing added to Organix products.
How does this product make your life easier as a mum?
These bars are perfect for kids on the go, they are easy to store in a change bag for snacks when you need them. The thing I find the most useful apart from the fact that I know I am giving my child a healthy snack is that these make very little mess!! A perfect sized bar that doesn’t crumble, great for those times when you want your child looking clean and tidy!
If you could change one thing about this product what would it be?
I think this product is great, the only thing I think would improve it would be to add some more flavours to the range itself. Although a little expensive at £2.29, I think that it is a reasonable price to pay for the peace of mind knowing that it is a healthy snack for your child.

Would you recommend this product to a friend/fellow mum?
These are fab, they are super yummy and a nice snack for my little boy, and he loves them, they are a nice size too. The flavours are great and they are rather cute. We love them and will be buying them to have in our home. My son loved them so much he asked to have more.
How does this product make your life easier as a mum?
They are great to take out of the house and have in the car to keep my little boy entertained on short or long journeys.
If you could change one thing about this product what would it be?
More flavours!

Would you recommend this product to a friend/fellow mum?
These bars are lovely and delicious, they are exactly what I need and we can't get enough of them, especially the flavour. I have now recommended them to other mums and I will for sure continue to give them.
How does this product make your life easier as a mum?
They are a small size so that means you can put it in your bag, a pocket, really anywhere... they are amazing and great on the go - especially those days when you are running late.
If you could change one thing about this product what would it be?
Nothing, I truly love them.
