Do you love gummies? As in Gummy Bears, Gummy Worms, Gummy Fruit, Gummy Whatever? Boymom's family is big on Gummy's, the boys especially love the sour gummies. I don't buy them very often though, because I am trying to incorporate more healthy eating habits into our routine. So candy has taken a big hit this year when it comes to what I will purchase for a treat for them.
Luckily for my boys, Surf Sweets has created an all natural and organic candy that is a much healthier choice than some of the other gummies out on the market. And even luckier for the boys was the fact that they were able to try some of Surf Sweet's products, as was I, when they arrived in the mail a few days ago.
So here's the scoop on Surf Sweet and their gummy stuff:
- Made with Organic Fruit Juice and Sweeteners
- Natural Colors and Flavors
- 100% RDA of Vitamin C
- Free of Corn Syrup and GMO's
- Made in a Nut-Free Facility
- Gluten Free
- Casein Free
- And Made in the USA!!
These are great for people with food allergies and intolerances and the truth is, they really taste good! They were fresh and soft and chewy and seriously full of flavor. I tested the Fruity Bears while the boys tried out the Sour Worms. Big thumbs up from the boys as they played with and ate the Sour Worms. Big thumbs up from mom as I ate the Fruity Bears and thought about how glad I am to have a healthier alternative to the sugar filled gummies we usually purchase. I also like supporting a company that supports good causes. Surf Sweets donates a portion of their sales to help fight childhood obesity. You can learn more about their products and causes here.
And by the way...I also like the clarity of the Fruity Bears. Have you ever held a gummy bear up to your eyes? The really clear ones let the light through and you can see the world through rose colored gummy bears. Try it sometime when you have nothing better to do but play with your food. It's kinda cool, despite the fact that it's really juvenile, and the kids think I am a pretty fun mom for thinking of fun things to do with my candy. Like when I pull the heads off the bears and put them on different colored bodies. What?! Don't sit here reading and act like you've never decapitated a gummy bear!
My only problem now is where to buy them! You can find them at your local Whole Foods or Buy Buy Baby and even at Lifetime Fitness, as well as other natural and specialty food stores. We don't have any of those stores close to us (actually NO STORES of any kind are actually close to my home), but I will be looking for Surf Sweets in some of the health food stores next time I go shopping.

Sorry it's so long since I stopped by. I have been super sick with pregnancy junk. I'm finally feeling better but still tired. I sleep way too much!
