I love apples and I love carrots, but not pureed together.  And what, you ask, does this have to do with Mott's peach/apple-flavored Fruit & Veggie Snack???

Their pear flavored variety is delicious.  That's why I decided to try this one. Really, doesn't "peach/apple" sound like a great combination to you?  Imagine my surprise when I started to eat, and all I could think of was carrots.  So I read the ingredients list.  Here it is:

Apples, water, carrot juice concentrate, clarified carrot juice concentrate, cucumber juice concentrate, natural flavors, green bell pepper juice concentrate, fruit and vegetable juice concentrate, ascorbic acid, lemon juice concentrate...

Did you notice that peaches are not mentioned at all? Maybe there's a peach component of the "fruit and vegetable juice concentrate" but if so, it's not enough to impart even a trace of peach to the overall flavor.

In conclusion, if you're looking for a peach flavored pudding type of snack or dessert, try yogurt.
