Have You Tried Crispy Fruit?

Are you disciplined when it comes to snacking?

For me, it's sometimes, yes, and sometimes, no.
I'm not exactly sure why I've got strong willpower one day, 
and none the next.
One thing is consistent, though.......
the hours between dinner and bedtime are when my snack-cravings are strongest. 
That's roughly a five-hour period each night during which 
my self-control mechanisms need to be in top working order. 
It's a challenge, because, as soon as dinner is finished, 
I'm already thinking about what I can eat next.
To slow myself down, I play a little game,  
and tell myself that I must wait until 8:00pm to have a snack.

Throughout the evening, there's a lot of intrapersonal communication going on,
as I try to talk myself out of raiding the fridge and pantry.
Self-bribery is often involved,  
promising rewards for avoiding temptations 
that constantly call to me from behind closed cabinet doors. 

 To curb my snacking enthusiasm, I limit myself to two small, healthy snacks a night.

My best bets are foods that come with built-in portion control,
such as small bags of nuts, or those squeezy apple sauce thingies.  

On most nights, however, at 7:59pm, you'll find me counting down the seconds

until I can tear into a single-serve bag of Crispy Fruit (affil. link).

 I discovered Crispy Fruit (affil. link) several months ago  
while I was wandering around a supermarket......STARVING.......
  desperately in search of something healthy to munch on in the car.
(Do you ever do that?)
 
The packaging of this freeze-dried "100% Pure Fruit" product caught my eye, 
but the fact that it has no added sugar, is non-GMO, all natural, low-calorie, and gluten-free,
is what prompted me to toss a bag of mango Crispy Fruit (affil. link) into my shopping cart. 
I've been buying it ever since. 

 When the Crispy Green company recently offered me some samples to write a review,
I was happy to do it, as I already knew that I loved the product,
and it gave me a chance to try other flavors.
I like them all, by the way, with mango and pineapple at the top of my list.

 

Between the satisfying crispy texture, and at less than 55 calories per bag, 

Crispy Fruit (affil. link) is one of my go-to snacks at night. 

I admit that sometimes, limiting myself to one bag is tough.

 It's tempting to open up a bunch of different flavors, 

and make a big crispy fruit salad.

Not that I've ever done that, of course.

  

 Now, if you'll excuse me, it's just about time for my 8:00pm snack.
