Fruit Bowl Strawberry Yogurt Flakes, 105g

Product Information

Fruit Bowl responded saying: ' While Fruit Bowl Yogurt Flakes are made with real fruit and only natural colours and flavours, we make no claims such as high fibre or one of a child's five a day on this range. Many children do not consume enough fibre, for instance, which Fruit Shoot bars can also help provide. Yogurt Stir-in– Add a nice rounded teaspoon of strawberry powder to plain yogurt for a little sweet strawberry flavor. Reality: 60% of this product is made up from yoghurt-flavoured coating, which contains sugar, palm fat, whey powder, rice flour and 3% yoghurt powder as well as emulsifiers and glazing agents. Use as few or as many dried strawberries as you like, blending until you make enough powder. I prefer to keep adding strawberries until I have enough to fill an empty jam jar.

Reality: This product contains concentrated strawberry, and concentrated raspberry juice as well as dates, apple and natural flavourings. Similarly, because the fruit is processed and reconstituted it counts as free sugar. A 25g bar contains 16g of sugar, 84% of the free sugars that children aged four to six should have in a day. In that case, it’s time to break out my secret strawberry powder ingredient – freeze-dried strawberries. The great thing about dehydrating foods by freezing them is that it preserves their vibrant colors. The fruit flakes make up the remaining 40% and contain concentrated apple juice, fructose-glucose syrup, strawberry puree, sugar, wheat fibre, palm fat plus gelling agents and natural flavourings. Strawberry is my favorite jam flavor. But what if you don’t want all the extra sugar that comes with jam? And much like bags of frozen strawberries, canned jam eats into pantry space.Yogurt Flavoured Coating (59%) (Sugar, Palm Fat, Demineralised Whey Powder (𝐌𝐢𝐥𝐤), Yogurt Powder (𝐌𝐢𝐥𝐤), Emulsifier: Lecithins (𝐒𝐨𝐲𝐚); Flavouring), Strawberry Flavoured Center (40%) (Apple Juice Concentrate, Strawberry Juice Concentrate, Gelling Agent: Pectin; Acid: Citric Acid), Glazing Agents: Gum Arabic, Shellac. So, when it comes to enjoying the delicious flavor of strawberries year-round, you should always have a jar of strawberry powder on hand. Strawberry powder is intensely flavored, meaning a little goes a long way. And when it comes to saving space, you can’t beat having one small eight-ounce jar filled with dozens of strawberries. How to Make Strawberry Powder If you use strawberries that you have dried yourself, you will most likely have a darker strawberry powder. Many manufactured dried fruit contains preservatives to keep it from turning brown as it dries. Don’t worry; it still tastes incredible.

I’m a firm believer in self-sufficiency, no matter where you live, and the power and pride that comes from doing something for yourself. To make strawberry powder, you need dried strawberries. You can easily make dehydrated strawberries using your oven or a food dehydrator. (I walk you through both processes in this article.) If you want a strawberry powder that looks as good as it tastes, consider skipping the dehydrated strawberries. Anytime heat is used to dry something with sugar in it, you will inevitably have some browning due to caramelization. Pink Lemonade– When plain lemonade won’t do, add two tablespoons of strawberry powder to your homemade lemonade. Use club soda instead of water to make fizzy pink lemonade for an extra special treat. My gift of gab and sense of humor via the written word keeps me busy as a copywriter and freelance blogger.Milkshakes– If you’re craving a strawberry milkshake, but all you’ve got is vanilla ice cream, reach for your jar of strawberry powder. Add one teaspoon per milkshake and blend well.
