Review of 'Dole' Tropical Fruit Bowl in 100% Fruit Juice

Dole -- Tropical Fruit Bowl in 100% Fruit Juice (vegan)
Overall Rating: 4/5
Summary: this is a quite tart fruit bowl and it complements well the very sweet juice in which the fruits float. Mmm, now I know why it's award winning. I can taste the papaya and pineapple flavours with no problem and it's fresh, not at all artificial-tasting. This is a great, healthy, sweet snack for children. It's natural and has no artificial ingredients. And, it's delicious and colourful to appeal to fussy little eaters. I am recommending this product!

Where to buy: Fortinos, Metro



Ingredients: Pineapple, Pineapple Juice, Papaya, Water, Grape Juice Concentrate, Citric Acid, Natural Flavors, and Ascorbic Acid, (Vitamin C).

I'm happy. There are no added sugars or sweeteners in this product. It's the perfect little snack. It's very low-calorie, has no fat, and no sodium! The best part (aside from the yummy taste) is the 10% vitamin A and 45% vitamin C.

They have a pretty good recipe section here and some interesting articles on health, fitness, and weight loss. Some recipes using this Tropical Fruit Bowl include:
