**Brown puffed rice can be found in most bulk grocery stores, as well as in natural health food stores and supermarkets.
Freeze-dried strawberries: Several companies produce them, and freeze-dried fruit can be found in a wide variety of big-box and natural health grocery stores, as well as online. You can also simply leave them out, or substitute dried cranberries (those with the lowest added sugar). Note that freeze-dried fruit makes an excellent on-the-go snack and is an alternative to dried fruit. They come in a wide variety of fruits, from bananas to peaches and more!
