Healthy Strawberry and Passionfruit Fruit Straps

Store bought fruit straps can be loaded with extra sugar or added ingredients, often making them an unhealthy snack option for our kids. Try this healthy version for a delicious lunch box snack.

Ingredients:

• 2 cups of strawberries
• Pulp from 5 fresh passion fruit (approximately 1/3 cup)
• 1tbsp honey
• 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice

Method: 

1. Add all ingredients to a food processor and blitz until smooth.

2. Strain your mixture to remove the passion fruit seeds.

3. Spoon mixture onto pre-cut pieces of baking paper that will fit into your dehydrator. It’s easiest to have your baking paper already sitting in your dehydrator so you don’t need to transfer it later. Leave the mixture approximately 4mm thick as it will become thinner during the dehydrating process.

4. Set your dehydrator to 65 degrees celsius for 6 hours. Fruit straps are ready when they are no longer soft or sticky to touch

Tips: Try this recipe with other fruits too! If you don’t have a dehydrator, try cooking it in the oven on a making tray with your oven set on the lowest temperature, cooking time may need to be varied for a higher temperature.
