Keep These 6 Freeze-Dried Snacks in Your Desk for When Hunger Strikes

To mix up the flavor of your freeze-dried fruit snacking, try these infused fruits. Fuji apple slices are soaked in fruit juice concentrate (like blueberry, raspberry or strawberry) before freeze-drying, adding flavor and a fun color, but keeping it 100 percent real fruit.

This ice cream treat is summer-proof! Just like the “astronaut ice cream” you loved as a kid, the freeze-dried ice cream sandwiches come in two flavors: vanilla and Neapolitan. They are super crunchy and never melt, but taste creamy once the flavor hits your tongue. They are great for a day at the beach or picnic in the park, no freezer needed.

Surprising on a charcuterie board and just as tasty when eaten by the handful, these freeze-dried figs have no added sugar or preservatives. This is a great no-fuss way to get the benefits of figs like vitamin C, calcium and iron but also enjoy a sweet snack that isn't pure candy.

A little sweet, a little spicy and very crunchy, this infused freeze-dried pineapple checks all the sensory boxes. What a fun accompaniment to a margarita or chips and guac. The pineapple hails from Costa Rica and has no additives or additional sugar.

Freeze-dried snacks can be crunchy, poppable fruits and veggies, but they can also be soup cubes that quickly rehydrate into soothing, satisfying snacks. By freeze-drying the soup, it locks in peak freshness and nutrients. These mixes contain up to 30 grams of vegetables per serving and come in flavors like Red Miso Spicy Mushrooms, White Miso Aosa Seaweed and Yellow Miso Garden Veggies. These are great to have on hand when you need a healthy boost working late or for a marathon study session.

These freeze-dried fruits are the perfect cocktail garnish, but they can also travel anywhere to make an expert-looking mocktail. Jazz up bubbly water, iced tea or juice (or a mix of all three) with fruits like strawberry, lime and lemon slices, and whole raspberries and blueberries.
