I really, really like fruit roll-ups, but the store-bought ones are not the healthiest thing as they are laded with sugar and artificial ingredients. I always wanted to try making my own, [ I have made sour cherry leather before] and having a dehydrator on my hands was definitely a good chance to make it. I decided to go with a pretty simple combination, the most popular smoothie combo : bananas+strawberries!
The end result : a sweet, candy like confection that tastes like the popular smoothie! Give it a try and you won’t be disappointed. Its a good snack to munch on!
Ingredients
-400gr strawberries
-2 bananas
-1 tsp vanilla extract
-1tbsp agave syrup or other sweetener
In a blender, add all ingredients and blend until smooth, taking care to crush the strawberry seeds [ if your blender is not powerful enough to do that you will need to strain this] Spread the mixture on the dehydrator sheets and dehydrate on 41C for 6-8 hours, flipping once,until its completely dry. Roll up in baking paper and cut to serving sized pieces.
*You can totally make this in an oven as well, on the lowest temperature until the pulp is completely dry. They just won’t be completely raw and it’s more of hassle, but it is definitely doable.
i love how yours turned out so well!
This should get some incredible recipe of the day prize or something. Now I want a dehydrator!
Those look fantastic! Way better than the fruit roll-ups of our childhood!
Wow! What a great idea! Now I have an excuse to get a dehydrator!
I loved fruit-by-the-foot as a kid (ok, maybe I still do, even though I never buy them), and this looks like a healthy (and delicious) version. If I had a dehydrator, I’d totally make this.
You can use your oven… using a flat baking sheet with sides if you dont have a dehydrator. Just make sure to set the oven at the lowest temperature, if your oven has a convection setting, definitely use it to the advantage.
Homemade fruit roll ups!? Awesome! Now if I only had a dehydrator, I’d be in business!
just beautiful. and yummy. and healthy.
just love it.

Thanks for the oven tip. I’ve wanted to make these for a while.
so gonna try it the oven way:)
crazy pictures!! i want!!
Love this! I have a dehydrator that I have never, ever used but this will get me to try it!
Thanks for the great recipe.
It says to use dehydrator sheets but I’m going to try the oven because I do not have a dehydrator so question is can you use wax paper instead?
Yes it would work the same way.
