The latest flavor from 5th Season fits just as well into the JustBite assortment as the four other flavors. And this is why.

If you want to claim a spot in the JustBite assortment as a healthy snack, you better have something to offer. We subject every snack to our strict selection process before allowing them into our healthy snack boxes. The fruity snacks from 5th Season had already earned their spot with four flavors, and now there's a surprising fifth flavor that definitely deserves a place in our healthy snack family.

5th Season: fruit for everyone, whenever and wherever!

5th Season has a very clear mission! They want to make the most delicious fruit easily available all year round.

So you can enjoy your favorite fruit whenever and wherever you want, without any hassle and throughout the four seasons. Hence the name, 5th Season.

All you have to do is open the bag to enjoy your delightful crunchy pieces of fruit. No need to peel, cut into pieces or keep it cool.

By freeze-drying the fruit, 5th Season also makes the fruit much more durable, up to a period of 18 months!

During the freeze-drying process, only the moisture is removed from the fruit, which means that more than 90% of the nutritional value of the fruit is preserved. But above all, the taste, aroma and shape of the fruit remain the same!

They only go for succulent, ripe, and delicious fresh fruit that is quickly frozen so that all the good can be preserved.

So with 5th Season Fruit Bites, you can enjoy your favorite pieces of fruit in winter, fall, spring, or summer, and easily reach your recommended daily portion of fruit without any hassle!

What's not to like?!

Fruit with a message 

In addition to their mission to encourage everyone to eat more fruit, 5th Season is committed to a good cause thanks to their partnership with Farm Africa.

Farm Africa works hard to help local farmers grow sustainably rather than simply survive.

Furthermore, all the fruit in the 5th Season bags was ethically and sustainably sourced with the correct certification.

So by enjoying your healthy fruit snack from 5th Season, you are contributing to a better world, fruit without hassle but with a social commitment.

The Fruit Bites from 5th Season have already been part of our healthy snack boxes for some time, and now Banana & Blueberries can also join the lineup.

Ingredients

We don't have to say much about the ingredient list of these healthy snacks. They contain only organic fruit, and that's it!

Nothing has been added to the delicious crunchy pieces of fruit, so they are pure taste bombs.

Composition

The Fruit Bites Banana & Blueberries (and the other 4 flavors, of course) are pure in their simplicity, and they also bring a number of important health benefits.

They contain very few calories and retain 90% of their nutritional value, they are 100% gluten-free and guaranteed vegan. And that's not all.

Lost of dietary fiber 

The 5th Season Banana & Blueberries contain plenty of dietary fiber, which is a good thing! Because fiber is an essential part of a healthy diet. They provide you with a longer feeling of satiety, keep your blood sugar levels stable, play a part in preventing various chronic diseases, and promote good gut flora and transit!

So if your healthy snack already helps you get enough fiber per day, that's always a good thing.

No added sugars and no unnecessary preservatives

The 5th Season Banana & Blueberries contain no added sugars. They only contain naturally occurring sugars found in the fruit. They definitely won't give you sugar spikes and dips, and because they also contain a lot of fiber, they are a balanced, healthy choice that will keep you feeling satisfied for a long time!

And because they only contain fruit, you won't get unnecessary preservatives or additives.

Taste 

Our taste panel eagerly tried out the Banana & Blueberries, and the verdict was unanimous: they are deliciously yummie!

The pleasantly sweet blueberries and the cheerful banana have a wonderful crunch and have retained their genuine fruit flavor. The blueberries provide a nice fresh and sour note to create a pleasant balance with the sweet banana. A very tasty and successful combination.
