The twins have been eating fig bars for some time now. They started off with fig newtons which kept getting stuck to the roof of their mouth. Then I discovered
fig bars from Trader Joe's. The other day at the mom-and-pop organic store I discovered raspberry and blueberry fig bars by Barbara.
These fig newtons are organic, made with whole grains (sometimes multi grain) and sweetened with fruit juice. They are softer than traditional fig newtons so it's easy for the twins to eat. Also, added flavors of raspberry and blueberry to keep things from getting boring.
My daughter really likes raspberries and she eats them straight - no honey, graham cracker coating or anything. In fact when I gave them a 'fruit salad' of strawberry, raspberry, papaya and mango bits, she picked out and ate all the raspberries and yelled for more. To her brother they are just some interesting fruit that are acceptable to eat.

The twins have already tried Acai mixed in with a bunch of other fruits in a juice. Again I bought this to relieve boredom. Acai is turning out to not be the 'exotic superfruit full of disease-fighting antioxidants, vitamin C and vitamin E.' I am sure it has it's share of good things like all fruits and veggies……….the twins liked it just fine.
