Vegan Snack Review - Dehydrated Banana Slices - Dehydrated Banana Chunks

I love me some bananas...what's not to love? They are sweet, filling and nutrious.


Bananas give a great energy boost and for me personally rank high on Saiety level.



The only problem with bananas is that although portable they have a tendency to get squashed when thrown in a bag with other belongings.



This is why dehydrated bananas are a a perfect snack as they come securely packed and their texture means that they hold their shape!

They also produce smaller snack packs which I will review separately. The small packs can be seen in the 2nd image above.

The larger style which is the one in this review also comes in pineapple, apple and mixed fruit options.

WEIGHT/SIZE
200g 
Supplied in a clear firm seable plastic box. The box opens and closes easily so you can keep some for later if don´'t want to eat the whole lot in one go.




TASTE , TEXTURE & SERVING SUGGESTIONS


These dehydrated bananas have delicious flavour and firm chewy texture. 

Sweet but not overly sweet, a very different taste and texture difference from eating a fresh banana. 


I personally love the taste and texture, it kind of reminds me of eating a natural toffee like version of Haribos!


This is great on it`s own or you could chop them up some more and them to top overnight oats, cooked porridge, vegan ice cream or as a dessert topping.



INGREDIENTS LIST 

Banana (Yay! no preservatives or other nasties!)
