Default Trader Joe's freeze-dried strawberries

These are delicious! The whole 1.4 oz container is only 130 calories and 7 grams of fiber.

Any ideas on how to use these in recipes?

They are nice in cereal (cold or hot cooked), muffins, to make sauces with to put in a fruit salad, to add to stir frys, salads, couscous, quinoa, pasta salads...anywhere, really!

I just bought a bag this weekend as well as a bag of the frozen raspberries! They are huge!

I've been using mine in morning smoothies along with Almond milk and a little OJ. Yum!

I didn't like how they stuck to my teeth really bad when I ate them... so I didn't buy them again. But if I didn't have that issue I would put them on cereal, or in muffins.

The freeze dried mangos are amazing too! A good-sized bag is only 200 calories. They do stick to my teeth a little bit, but worth it! I just EAT THEM.

I saw this thread and bought a bag. I tried them today and I love them! They can stick to my teeth a little, but that doesn't bother me. I know they weigh nothing, but each bit has a lot of flavor, so I find myself very satisfied for very few calories. Thanks for the rec!

I love the freeze dried bananas! Somewhere around 300 calories for the whole bag and I just eat four or five slices at a time.

Update on my strawberries...

I planned to eat the whole bag yesterday (only 110 calories... they shrank the bag to 1.2 ounces!). Even though I allowed myself to snack on them whenever I felt like it, there's still about 1/3 of the bag left! I'm a "finisher" and I very rarely eat less of a food than I plan on eating.

Wow. Thanks again!
