Review of No Sugar Added Very Cherry Mixed Fruit from Del Monte!

 

 

In honor of National Nutrition Month, Del Monte sent me a can of their No Sugar Added Very Cherry Mixed Fruit for my kids and me to review here on At Home Moma.

I decided to serve this as a snack to my kids. I opened up the can and chilled the contents in a bowl  for a couple hours. And since presentation is everything to my kids, I then served it to them in little glass ice cream bowls.

 

They thought it was neat that there were cherries in the fruit mix.  They ate the Mixed Fruit, and then I asked them for their opinion. They said that it tasted good.

 

 

If you are interested in using the No Sugar Added Very Cherry Mixed Fruit, you can eat it as is, served chilled or, here are some recipes that you can use the Mix in as well.
