Nim’s Kids Fruit & Vegetable Crisps | Review

We were sent some packs of Nim’s Kids fruit and vegetable crisps to review. All thoughts and opinions are our own.

My kids love snacking – and whilst they love fruit, they often like to snack on the more unhealthy things! So what if I could make sure they were snacking on something healthy which also felt a little naughty to them?

Enter Nim’s Kids fruit and vegetable crisps.

We were sent a few different bags to try – two of the ‘cool courgette’ flavour, two of the ‘amazing apple’ and two of the ‘perfect pear’ packets.

Nim’s Kids say that many adults, plus even more children, eat a packet of crisps daily. This is making them in turn consuming the equivalent of 5L of cooking oil and who knows how much salt annually! Nim’s are trying to address this issue with their two fab ranges of crisps  a fruit range and a vegetable range.

Named after their creator, Nimisha Raja, they have the same crunch as a ‘normal’ crisp but without any of the oil, salt, artificial flavour or preservatives you come to expect from an everyday packet of crisps. What Nim’s Kids packets do have to offer though is flavour and these are meant to appeal to both adults and children. They also have a vitamin hit which is said to be comparable to eating a piece of fruit. So how do they do it? The brand take fresh produce, thinly slice it and then air dry it. Easy peasy. No frying involved and with that crisp crunch we all know and love.

So what did we think?

First of all, I loved the fact that because they use full fruits (which enables the brand to operate a zero waste policy), the crisps are packed full of fibre and vitamins and the bags contain less than 80 calories each in the adult range and 50 in the children’s. I love that they are a healthy and tasty snack for my kids.

What did the kids think?

Both kids really enjoyed the fruit crisps and the four packs of the two different flavours soon disappeared into their tummies. They enjoyed the flavour and that satisfying crunch. They weren’t so keen on the courgette ones however – I tried them all for the purpose of this review and found the fruit crisps to be sweet and flavourful whilst I found the courgette a little bitter. However I think if my children were actually courgette fans, they may have enjoyed them a little better.

Whilst I may not pick up the courgette again – as my kids weren’t too keen – I’ll certainly be picking up the other two in the children’s range again – Amazing Apple and Perfect Pear. I’m also going to be picking up some of the adult varieties too – I love fruit and vegetable crisps so these would be the perfect snack for me.

The adult varieties are available in Tesco and Tesco Express stores nationwide whilst the Nim’s Kids range is available from Ocado and www.nimsfruitcrisps.com.

Are these something you’d try or you’d give to your kid as a snack?
