I'm a big fan of the bars (lara, kind, etc) as they travel well and are not too bad for you, depending on which one you choose. They also feel snacky, and I like snacks. But the super processed shit food snacks like me less and less as I age.
The nice folks at Natural Balance Foods are all about the natural snacks and sent me a Nakd sampler box to try for free in exchange for telling you what I think of them.
What I thought was that I could've eaten the whole box upon opening them. I mean, MFD and I went to town on them. They have nine fruit and nut bar flavors available in the U.S. (my favorite is berry delight, but the rhubarb and custard is pretty freaking awesome too) that are just that - raw fruit and nuts smooshed together. Good and good for you. No added sugars, syrups, or other crap ingredients that don't belong. They're also wheat, dairy, and gluten free.
I'm going to get some of these Nakd bars for upcoming trips, and some to keep at work. You can find the sampler pack on the Natural Balance Foods site as well as on that trusty steed, Amazon.
Natural Balance Foods is a Brit company trying to make the move to whole foods easier for health-conscious snackers like me. Well, sometimes me. Sometimes I still really want some Pringles. But mostly I like the good stuff. And these are quite good, I might say similar to my lara bar loves but with more flavors and better in many cases. Give them a go!
Nice!!! I am really into getting these homemade granola bars I buy online (I know you understand buying groceries online, haha). I feel like granola bars, when done right, are the perfect snack and are quite healthy!
ReplyDeleteHah, your title made me laugh, well done. I've heard great things about nakd bars, they sound delicious.
ReplyDeleteI'll have to tell my friend about these since she's gluten free and has a hard time with certain bars. I haven't seen these in stores yet so I'll keep my eye out! xo, biana -BlovedBoston
ReplyDeleteThis is great. I am a Quest Bar girl, but I am always looking for alternatives. Thanks for the review!
ReplyDeleteI love having a granola bar on hand when you're trapped somewhere and starving. These sound perfect!
ReplyDelete1. Yes to eating poor snacks working against you as you get older. It was a rough weekend for me in that regard, feeling extra lethargic! 2. I love snack bars,like this! I'll have to look into it
ReplyDelete"Sometimes I still really want some Pringles. But mostly I like the good stuff." <--this is my life.
ReplyDeleteI am so down to try these! I like luna but get sick of them - need to try.
ReplyDeleteThey look good! I always like trying new ones. I wish they weren't all sweet though. Maybe that's what rice cakes are for!
ReplyDeleteI will try them. I like 20 grams of protein and good taste which I have found in these Pure Protein bars sold in Sam's for less than a dollar a bar, but are a bit processed. I love the portability of the bars.
ReplyDeleteLove. Your. Momma.
These look good! I'm not sure what Christmas Pud is but it intrigues me-haha. (pudding maybe?)
ReplyDeleteI'm all about natural snacks. I've never heard of this brand before - I'll have to check it out now
ReplyDeleteI got some Nakd bars too and was pleasantly surprised! Pretty dang tasty for all natural and good for you - plus that they are considered a serving of fruit? And taste like chocolate? Amazing!
ReplyDeleteSounds great! I love snack bars to travel well. Will have to look out for these when i'm out shopping.
ReplyDeleteYummy!!! Sounds like a good company.
ReplyDeleteI'll have to give these a try. I love Lara & Kind bars, too. I've actually made Lara-ish bars at home- they were pretty darn good. :)
ReplyDeleteXOXO
mmmm pringles.
ReplyDeletei am quite intrigued by these, i'm not normally a bar snacker kind of girl because i will eat all of them in one sitting.
These sound delicious. I tend to stay away from bars since most are filled with crap, but these sound worth a try. The flavors sound good too.
ReplyDeleteOOh, I'll have to check these out! We get similar ones from Trader Joe's, but there aren't so many flavors!
ReplyDeleteI love snacks and bars are always so great for traveling like you said! I haven't heard of these but I am all about as natural as possible when I can so I will have to check these out!
ReplyDeleteI can't remember where I heard about these, but they do sound delish. You had me until you mentioned pringles. I love pringles. But yes... the more I age, the more food dislikes me...
ReplyDeleteRhubarb and custard sounds like a tasty combo... you never see rhubarb flavored ANYTHING!
