Growing up, we were always allowed to eat as much fruit as we wanted! Something we all took on board, as we inherited my dad’s Mediterranean ways, which meant every single fruit was loved! From fresh off the vine to tinned and cupped, we loved it all! And we still do thanks to Dole Sunshine! Get ready to have a very delicious summer!

Good Morning Lovelies, 

When me and my siblings were younger, my parents would happily tell us to enjoy as much fruit and vegetables as possible. However, this often led to fights about who was going to get first pickings or who had ate the last of the strawberries. We often found that it was my dad who had in fact done so. 

There wasn’t a week that didn’t go by where you wouldn’t find me at least once with a fork or spoon diving into a can of peaches. The gorgeous juices pouring down my face. The beautiful sweetness of the fruit in my mouth. It truly upsets me now to know that I am actually allergic to them, as I loved them so much when I was younger. 

Almost as much as I loved those Dole Sunshine pots, whether they were the juice or jelly kind. My mum would pop one into our lunchboxes or hide them from my dad to make sure we had them to snack on, instead of him eating them all aha! We did often share them with him though. 

Therefore, when the brand got in touch to ask if me and my family would like to review their new fruit collection, I quickly said yes. Arriving quickly, me and my mum found ourselves unwrapping the classic Peaches in Juice cups and the Mixed Fruits in Peach Jelly cups. Both of which just screamed hot sunny days to me. 

Due to the peach content, I actually wasn’t able to try them, however, my mum was happy to take them off my hands. She used the plain peaches to revamp her breakfast, using the juices as a drink, whilst placing the fruit within her yogurt, nut and oats mix. She loved their chopped texture, making her yogurt resemble a peach one instead. 

When it came to the jellies, she loved having them as a refreshing pudding on the last few hot May days. Sliding down easily, she stated that they were actually inspiration to her to make a classic triffle. Something she has now done with a can of Dole mixed fruit. 

Full to the brim with flavour and good for you too, the cups come in a number of flavours and fruit kinds, including mango, mandarin, peaches, pineapple and more. Plus, they have tons of vitamins thrown in too, with nothing artificial about them. Head to the Dole Sunshine website to find your next fruity delight lovelies, which are in all major supermarkets! It’s time to toast those fruit cups high!
