Brothers-All-Natural Fruit Crisps are Presented as Among the Best "Healthy Snacks for Kids and Adults" by Leading Physicians & Health Educators

• Brothers-All-Natural Fruit Crisps are Presented as Among the Best "Healthy Snacks for Kids and Adults" by Leading Physicians & Health Educators

  Brothers-All-Natural has been chosen by many health experts as an excellent packaged snack product that is healthy for all stages of development from toddlers to adults.

  Rochester, NY (PRWEB) October 13, 2011 - Brothers-All-Natural Fruit Crisps have the distinction of being deemed among the "best healthy snacks for kids and adults" by leading health experts. For instance, from the great states of Texas and Missouri comes Dr. Julia Kinder bringing Fruit Crisps with her as she presents solutions for living healthy to diverse audiences across the country. While from the Great Lakes region of Ohio comes Registered Nurse, health educator, and Mom blogger Michelle Rowe, singing praises for Brothers-All-Natural Fruit Crisps in multiple interviews regarding packing a healthy lunch for your kids.

  As an all-natural product, Brothers-All-Natural 100% fruit snacks contain two servings of fruit in the popular ½-cup bag, per the US Department of Agriculture. With nothing added to the fruit – no sugars, preservatives, or flavor enhancers – Brothers-All-Natural simply uses the best fruit in the world. Freeze-dried fruit is shelf stable, making it convenient and accessible. Because over 90% of the water is removed, the fruit becomes crispy and crunchy.

  Dr. Julia Kinder is a published author, practicing Physician, and traveling health educator, who has three little ones at home, including a daughter with special needs. "As a Family Practice Physician specializing in healthy lifestyles and fitness, I encourage my patients to select healthy snacks during the day to increase energy, improve mood, aid in weight loss, and to ensure proper nutrition," said Dr. Kinder. "Healthy snacking can even ward off boredom and increase creativity and productivity; it is a crucial element to living each day to the fullest. The primary snack I recommend is Brothers-All-Natural Fruit Crisps; it has all the benefits of fresh fruit because this freeze-dried fruit has no added sugars or preservatives. Plus, Fruit Crisps are convenient and affordable. And most importantly to my children, Fruit Crisps are fun to eat!"

  Additionally, Michelle Rowe, who is a Registered Nurse and a leading health educator, is appearing on ABC Channel 13 in Toledo, OH to talk about healthy eating. Ms. Rowe would describe herself as the "Always Healthy Mom" which is also the title of her blog. To Ms. Rowe her kids come first, and their health is foremost in her mind.

  "I’m not going to recommend that someone give their child something and then turn around and deny my child that same item," said Michelle Rowe. "When I appear as a health educator, I’m still a mom too, and so that maternal passion spills out in the form of recommendations that are healthy and affordable like Brothers-All-Natural Fruit Crisps. Why give a child junk food when you can give them something good for their bodies that costs about the same price? It’s fun, it’s easy, and your kids will love it too!"

  Dr. Julia Kinder and Michelle Rowe believe in health education and will continue to spread the word about Brothers-All-Natural Fruit Crisps to audiences across the country. They both do not believe it’s ethical to solicit medical recommendations for a price, as it’s all about health and wellness and has nothing to do with remuneration in their eyes. As health educators and mothers they feel it is important to give practical solutions to living healthy in the here and now. Dr. Julia Kinder can be reached via her website at http://www.juliakinder.com and Michelle Rowe can be reached through her website at http://www.alwayshealthymom.com.

  "Here at Brothers-All-Natural we are charged with providing America with the best, most nutritious fruit snacks in the market today," said Colin Chase, Director of eCommerce. "However, if people aren’t thinking about eating a healthy snack, then many of them won’t buy our 100% fruit snacks. This is why we recently launched our healthy snacking campaign, Eat Healthier America™, to bring attention to eating right. Our new Fruit of the Month program will assist in drawing attention to healthy snacking while also educating and providing product discounts."

  Brothers-All-Natural Fruit Crisps currently come in ten (10) different fruit varieties, with an eleventh fruit type coming out later this summer. Through this program the website seeks to promote healthy snacks while also educating its visitors regarding the various fruit types offered in their Fruit Crisps. Brothers-All-Natural plans to promote their 100% fruit snacks by publishing timely information regarding each fruit type they provide as well as offering deep discounts.

Plus we have another new Fruit Crisp coming out this summer as we strive to provide the most diverse mix of the best fruits in the world to our customers."

Brothers-All-Natural Announces the “Eat Healthier America” Campaign, While Continuing to Provide Fun Healthy Snacks for Toddlers, Teens, and Adults

• Brothers-All-Natural Announces the "Eat Healthier America" Campaign, While Continuing to Provide Fun Healthy Snacks for Toddlers, Teens, and Adults

  Healthy Snacking Boils Down to Choosing the Right Foods and the Right Portion Sizes.

  Rochester, NY (PRWEB) June 14, 2011 - Choosing snacks that are healthy, such as Brothers-All-Natural Fruit Crisps, is a crucial component for a well-balanced diet. To assist the national discussion regarding healthy snacking options for children, as well as healthy snacking alternatives for adults, Brothers-All-Natural is launching a public relations campaign aimed at getting America to eat healthier. Please visit the "Eat Healthier America" campaign web page on their website at: http://www.brothersallnatural.com/HEALTHY.

  Brothers-All-Natural Fruit Crisps are the perfect solution to poor snacking choices. These low calorie fruit snacks provide a healthy snack for kids and adults that are high in fiber and high in antioxidants. The USDA recommends a minimum of five servings of fruit and vegetables each day, and Brothers-All-Natural Fruit Crisps provide two of these five servings in a single bag. Brothers-All-Natural desires to draw attention to choosing the healthy snack option that is both nutritious and delicious. The "Eat Healthier America" public relations campaign is seeking to promote various healthy habits, many of which involve choosing the right foods to eat and the proper portion sizes.

  Providing healthy snacks for young children is not always easy, because the snack must be tasty enough for the child to desire as well as providing high quality nutrition. Brothers-All-Natural Fruit Crisps are the answer to this problem as they are healthy snacks made from delicious fruit, 100% fruit with no additives or preservatives. Not only are these Fruit Crisps a healthy snack for weight loss in that they contain less than 80 calories per bag, but they are also a gluten free snack for those with health issues such as Celiac disease. Additionally, Fruit Crisps are also dairy and casein free for those suffering from Autism or those with lactose intolerance. Kids with food allergies are also delighted to discover that they too can eat these healthy snacks, because they contain no peanuts or tree nuts.

  Matt Betters, Co-CEO of Brothers International Food Corporation the parent company of Brothers-All-Natural, made the following comments in relation to getting children to eat healthy. "As a parent I know all of the challenges involved in getting children to eat healthy snacks," said Matt Betters. "It was a challenge for this company to find the best fruit in the world, and it was an even larger challenge to develop a state-of-the-art freeze-drying facility to meet all of the quality standards we were self-imposing. However these challenges paled in comparison to getting my own kids to eat their fruit and vegetables every day. Happily we were able to solve all of these problems when we created Brothers-All-Natural Fruit Crisps."

  Brothers-All-Natural offers ten varieties of healthy freeze-dried fruit: apple, apple-cinnamon, banana, peach, pear, pineapple, strawberry-banana, organic whole strawberry, mixed berry including blueberries and raspberries plus 2 more berry types, and the very tart mandarin orange. Brothers-All-Natural Fruit Crisps provide healthy snacks for diabetes and other health issues because they are 100% fruit and nothing else with no added sugar and no preservatives. Fruit Crisps provide healthy snack ideas for lunches and healthy snacks for after school too.

  Remember to "Eat Healthier America!" by choosing Brothers-All-Natural 100% fruit snacks. For more information about the Eat Healthier America campaign and Brothers-All-Natural’s fun healthy kid snacks, please visit their website at: http://www.brothersallnatural.com/HEALTHY.

Brothers-All-Natural Introduces Two New Fruit Snacks: Vitamin-Rich Mandarin Orange and Antioxidant-Rich Mixed Berry

• Brothers-All-Natural Introduces Two New Fruit Snacks: Vitamin-Rich Mandarin Orange and Antioxidant-Rich Mixed Berry

  All-Natural 100% Freeze-Dried Fruit Snacks Provide a Convenient and Natural Way To Get Necessary Vitamins and Your Daily Servings of Fruit.

  Rochester, NY (PRWEB) January 19, 2011 - Brothers-All-Natural introduces two new Fruit Crisps: Mandarin Orange and Mixed Berry. The Mandarin Orange freeze-dried fruit snack provides 45% of your daily Vitamin C in a tangy and tart Fruit Crisp. The Mixed Berry fruit snack is full of antioxidant vitamins and nutrients by including Strawberries, Raspberries, Blackberries, and Blueberries. These new healthy snack foods contain less than 50 calories per bag, plus freeze-dried fruit retains virtually all the nutrition of fresh fruit without the mess.

  Unlike the typical mass-marketed sugar-added fruit snacks that are often made primarily from high fructose corn syrup rather than from actual fruit, Brothers-All-Natural fruit snacks are 100% fruit and nothing else. Brothers-All-Natural Fruit Crisps are free of preservatives and any additives. Our Fruit Crisps contain no peanut or tree nuts, and are free of gluten, soy and dairy. Brothers-All-Natural does not use genetically modified or engineered fruit (non GMO). Plus these fruit snacks are certified Kosher, and vegan.

  "We used Facebook to ask our customers what they thought of our new Fruit Crisps," said Colin Chase, Director of eCommerce with Brothers International Food Corporation. "We were glad to see responses like these: ‘I tried the Mixed Berry and just love it. The mixture of the different berries makes it very enjoyable to eat.’ ‘Surprisingly delicious! Can't stop at 1 bag!’ ‘I love the strong flavors, but best of all these Crisps are safe around kids, dentures and white table cloths - no staining!’"

  Mandarin Orange Fruit Crisps

  Mandarin Orange was a difficult fruit crisp to develop. To take the ripened mandarin fruit and gently remove the water through Brothers-All-Natural’s specialized freeze-drying process took a lot of extra effort in this case. The new Mandarin Orange Fruit Crisp comes with a burst of orange flavor that seems to melt in your mouth. Customers who purchased this product during the pre-sales compared the texture to a light and fluffy honeycomb bursting with a tart orange flavor.

  Additionally for people dieting this time of year, the Mandarin Orange provides a low-calorie and 100% natural way to ingest Vitamin C. A glass of orange juice contains over 120 calories per serving, whereas the Mandarin Orange Fruit Crisp contains only 38 calories per serving.

  The New Antioxidant-Rich Mixed Berry Fruit Crisps

  In addition to announcing the release of their vitamin-rich Mandarin Orange Fruit Crisps, Brothers-All-Natural is also pleased to announce a long-awaited fruit mix. The new Brothers-All-Natural Mixed Berry Fruit Crisp combines Strawberries, Blackberries, Blueberries, and Raspberries into one amazing flavor-packed fruit snack. Of all the fruit snacks in the market today, the new Brothers-All-Natural Mixed Berry is one of the richest in antioxidant vitamins and nutrients.

  The new Mandarin Orange and Mixed Berry Fruit Crisps are available for sale on the Brothers-All-Natural website (http://www.brothersallnatural.com/), as well as from a number of national retail outlets such as Costco, Walmart, Whole Foods, and Toys-R-Us to name a few.

This highly intuitive and aesthetically pleasing website was designed specifically with their customers in mind. Dozens of consumers participated in a Focus Group and were surveyed afterward regarding their input concerning the new website prior to the website’s official launch. These participants were obtained through the Brothers-All-Natural Facebook page, and each was given a 22-question survey after previewing the website at their leisure over a 3-day period.

  The Facebook-powered Focus Group permitted Colin Chase, the new Director of eCommerce for Brothers International Food Corporation (the parent company of Brothers-All-Natural), to glean highly valuable input virtually in real-time. Chase is an advocate for listening to customers and cutting through the corporate mindset to hear the core of actual customers’ concerns. This attribute allowed Chase to fit right in at Brothers-All-Natural.

"We took the position that the majority of the input must be viewed as actionable insights from a customer-centric viewpoint. We took their suggestions, their concerns for clarity, and modified the website based upon this input. Clarity trumps persuasion in effective online marketing."

  "These are freeze dried apple pieces that come in individual bags. They’re just plain fruit (each bag contains about 1 1/2 Fuji apples!) with no added ingredients. Breezy Mama Alison introduced me to them–she had given one to my daughter and Em wouldn’t put it down until she had gotten–every–last–crumb. Available in a variety of flavors, all of which are good."

Women's Health - Best Packaged Foods of 2010

• 
  [The following was taken from the About page on the Women's Health website.]
  
  Women's Health reaches a new generation of women who don't like the way most women's magazines make them feel.
  
  Women's Health is for the woman who wants to reach a healthy, attractive weight but doesn't equate that with having thighs the size of toothpicks. We know that exercising and eating well will make you happier and stronger (even if after-work runs can really suck). That looking and feeling good have very little to do with cosmetics and high heels (though they can help you feel glamorous on a Saturday night). And that life can be stressful since there's never enough time, but balance is achievable (with a little help).
