I started off just buying two bars to try then over the coming weeks purchased the whole range.
I like that they have different styles of bars to choose from, which makes it a lot easier if you are following a particular plan e.g. raw, high protein, no added sugar.
I did try the gluten free range and remember liking them both, but seem to have forgotten to record down my thoughts, so once i buy them again, ill update you all.
I have seen on their instagram a few new flavours due to hit the shelf that sound amazing! Would love to know your thoughts on the range.
RAW
Date almond and chia
Amazing, i loved the flavour and the texture of this bar! unfortunately due to the dates its quite high in sugar, so you just need to take this into perspective when looking at your fruit intake for the day, dates are a fruit, so probably class this bar as a half serve of fruit. This bar is really simple and clean which i also like the ingredients are simply dates, almond paste, rice protein, chia seeds, walnuts and cashew.
HIGH PROTEIN
Chocolate brownie - terrible I will never buy this again, the texture was good for a protein bar but the flavour was horrendous, it was bland and had that real "protein" bar taste to it.
Raspberry truffle - for a protein bar this one is amazing, i have actually bought it three times. great flavour, interesting texture though I think they could improve on that. it tastes like a choc bar and is low in sugar so i like that.
Dark Chocolate Almond
Terrible, that chewy texture you find far to often in a protein bar, lacking flavour with a few hazelnuts throughout. It was filling, which helped me during the afternoon, however the flavour is just not there - overall bland and chewy.
NO ADDED SUGAR
Milk chocolate hazelnut - OK my level of excitement when I had this bar was way too high. ive pretty much decided I can now deal with my chocolate addiction - just have this bar instead, with its 170 calories and 3.8gm of sugar, it tastes amazing and doesn't taste artificial. I would definitely recommend this if you are looking for a low sugar and low calorie chocolate or sweet alternative.
Dark choc cherry ripe - i think they took the dark chocolate too far on this one, its quite bitter. I was expecting something like a cherry ripe, the texture of this one wasn't great. Its like a chocolate covered muesli bar, that is extra chewy - a bit of a jar workout.
Blueberry, almond and white chocolate
One I would re-buy. only qualm is that the white chocolate tastes more like yoghurt to me than chocolate, on closer inspection the "white chocolate" is "yoghurt no added sugar chocolate" which is something I have never heard of before? I like the flavour however and the texture is good. sugar 4.4, even though it was quite sweet. gluten and wheat free. Protein 7.7gm.
ANCIENT GRAIN
Banana Quinoa - if you like banana then this one is for you, it has a very strong banana flavour to it. quite a light texture with lots of grain pieces in it, unfortunately a bit of a jaw workout to eat. The sweetness in this one comes from dates and apple juice concentrate and 6% banana puree. There is an added natural flavour, where I suspect the intensity of the banana comes from. It probably wouldn't be my first choice if i was heading out to get one of the range. 4 grams of fibre is great and one of the lowest calorie bars in the range.
Blueberry, Beetroot and Chia - with 4% beetroot this bar had a lovely purple/red colour, however underneath this the product really just seemed like a muesli bar to me. As I am working towards excluding oats from my diet, its not something I would buy again. quite and oily wet texture, but a delicious taste and nutritionally this bar is fantastic. 4.1g of protein due to whey protein concentrate, a low 128 calories, 4.0 grams of fibre and organic dried apple in the recipe. A great healthy muesli bar option.
SUPERFOODS
blueberry cranberry Acai
I feel like they just wanted to make a bar with these buzz products in them. I was expecting something like the Amazonia Acai bars - big disappointment It was like a muesli bar, that was extremely oily and left a residue in my hands. the only impressive thing was the blueberries were moist. It was mainly oats, so may as well have a Uncle Toby's Muesli Bar for less cost, less calories, basically half as much sugar. 4.6gm of fibre was impressive though.
brown rice almond and chia
This was amazing! Great texture and flavour, perfect as a cake or muffin alternative. This is one of my favourite so far. Will be a regular in my diet!
walnut and flaxseed
BLAND BLAND BLAND! the texture is so chewy I think my jaw will be aching for days. it is quite dry to touch, however as you chew it has an extremely oily mouth feel. I would not recommend eating this one. Also it has oats if you are gluten free and can't have oats. 4.1 gm fibre
