Home made fruit snacks made out of Zucchini!

These fruit snacks are awesome!!!  And made out of Zucchini. What?! I follow this blog called Choose to Thrive  and she is totally awesome.  I saw this blog post she did on home made fruit snacks and I just had to try it!  I'm soooo glad I did. 

All you need is:

* 2 packs of unsweetened drink mix ( I used Kool-aid like she did )
* 1.5 cups of sugar - Yes I know it's sugar but it's way better than all the junk in regular fruit snacks.  I'll take sugar over all that any day.
 * 4 cups of zucchini pieces. (about 4 zucchini)

I'm not going to go through all the steps because you can just read it on her blog.  But I used the dehydrator instead of the oven.  On her blog she says to leave them in the dehydrator for about a day.  But mine only took about 7 hours.   So here's some pictures!



Caden loves them! I put them on the table and he said "oooohhh" haha it was so cute.


I have to keep myself from eating them all! they're so good!


And you can make all kinds of different flavors.  I did fruit punch.  I'll try grape next I think.  Now go try it for yourself and let me know how you like it!
