The best thing about these easy Fruit Roll-Ups is that they only require 3 ingredients! The only 3 ingredients needed are: any fresh fruit of choice, lemon juice and any sweetener of choice. To make them, blend all the ingredients together in a food processor or blender then spread them out on a baking pan lined with parchment paper.

Any sweetener used will give the same finally affect in the Fruit Roll-Ups, however its important to keep in mind that the quantity might differ based on the type of sweeter chosen!

How to store Homemade Fruit Roll-Ups?

The best way to store Homemade Fruit Roll-Ups is to store them in an airtight container in a cool area like the fridge or pantry for up to 2 weeks.

Ingredients

  • Fruit: Any combination of fruits will work great for the fruit roll-ups, a mix of berries like strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, mango, pineapple or peaches. I would recommend to try and avoid fruit that brown up really easily like bananas, apples, pears.

  • Lemon juice: The lemon juice is there to help brighten up and intensify the flavours and preserve the fruit.

  • Sweetener: When choosing the sweetener use honey, maple syrup, agave or any sweetener substitute like Stevia or Splenda. Do not use granulated sugar as it may not dissolve properly and can leave the fruit roll-ups grainy.

  • 3 cups of strawberries (or any fresh fruit of choice)

  • 2 Tbsp honey (or any sweetener of choice)

  • 1-2 Tbsp lemon juice
