I wanted to try these because the name was catchy, the packaging was bright and colorful and I really like the taste and crunch of freeze dried fruit for snacking. I also purchased this item because it contained a variety of flavors to taste test. Unfortunately, For a variety pack I didn't find a whole lot of variety. Two of the four flavors were primarily bananas -- Purple Funk (bananas with an acai coating) and Bananamon (bananas with a cinnamon). The flavor I preferred was Jivalime (pineapple and lime). It has a very robust flavor. The lime is strong and makes it very tart. The Carnival mix was just OK. This was a mixture of banana, pineapple, apple, papaya, and raisins. The pieces were very small in this mix. I would have preferred bigger pieces of papaya, apple and pineapple.

There are several other freeze-dried fruit mixes that I personally like better - perhaps because they have more traditional flavors. The Crispy Green product line is a favorite of mine and is comparable price-wise to the Funky Monkey products. For great peach flavor try Crispy Green Fruit Snacks, Crispy Peaches, 2.2-Ounce Pouches (Pack of 3). I also like the Crispy Green dried pineapple snack Crispy Green Fruit Snacks, Crispy Pineapples, 2.2-Ounce Pouches (Pack of 3). With Crispy Green you get 3 individual serving bags inside of a bigger bag. You actually get 9 bags of snacks. The extra packaging really does keep the fruit crispy and great tasting for a long time.

Sensible Foods also makes a delicious crispy snack called Sensible Foods Crunch Dried Snacks, Cherry Berry, 0.75-Ounce Pouches (Pack of 24) - great crunch and flavor. Cherry Berry is my personal favorite but Sensible Foods has several other tasty flavors, too, including a tropical fruit mix.

4.0 out of 5 stars getting my fruit servings IN, April 8, 2008

I bought and tried the funky monkey snacks and I like them. They are handy to have around, no cutting, no peeling, just eat and go. I don't really care for fruit, so this is an ideal way for me to get my servings of fruit. I do think it is a little expensive, but I think of my health as a priority. These are also very handy if you travel. I took them on my last few flights for snacks. It felt better to eat the fruit snack than my usual chips and candy.
Also, these are different than your regular dried fruit, they are airy and crispy. The crunch is great and it's a little snack I can gobble up and feel ZERO guilt about.

This is an amazing snack!!! I've never had freeze dried fruit that is this good. It's not chalky at all like all of the other freeze dried fruit brands. Who knew healthy snacks could taste so good?
