Review: Eat Natural Bars
(gifted PR samples)

UPDATED 2020 - Simply Vegan peanuts coconut and chocolate bar is now available.

I enjoy Eat Natural bars and I have been a fan for a long time. I always have cereal bars in the cupboard. They come in handy for taking out with me. I have them on standby for occasions when my allergies get in the way of enjoying a snack. I regularly buy a box of snack bars in dark 70% chocolate, brazils & apricots. 

The other week I tweeted that I was eating a bar and the company got in touch.  I knew there was a wide variety of flavours but I only ever see the ones coated in yoghurt and milk chocolate. Eat Natural told me 5 varieties are milk free and offered to send me some.  That was an offer I could not refuse.


Review: Eat Natural Bars
My box of treats arrived with the following varieties -

100% Organic Brazils, Hazelnuts & Sultanas
Brazils, Sultanas, Almonds, Peanut & Hazelnuts
Peanuts, Almonds & Hazelnuts
Dates, Walnuts & Pumpkin Seeds
Hazelnuts, Apricots & Vanilla

I am still working my way through them and I love the variety, in fact I am a bit of a nut addict. They are all tasty but of course there are some bars that stand out more than others. I love dates so the sweet hit is delicious and one I would naturally gravitate towards. Some bars are not as chewy as others, particularly the peanut, almond & hazelnut.

I really can't find fault and highly recommend them all. You do need to check individual flavours to make sure they are suitable for you.  None of the bars are suitable for Vegans as they contain honey but I can recommend Nakd bars as an alternative.

Nakd Cocoa Delight dairy free gluten free
Stick with me folks this is not a post about a beauty product but does have a connection to a product review I intend to do at a later stage. I could argue that if you put good things inside your body your skin will thank you for it. My current obsession is Nakd bars. My allergies mean I have to follow a milk and egg free diet and a Nakd bar is made from raw fruit and nuts, is vegan, gluten, wheat and dairy free and 1 of your 5 a day.

I am addicted to Cocoa Delight. The bar is soft in texture with little nut pieces throughout. It is made using dates, raisins, cashews and cocoa. I love the hint of chocolate flavour and since I cannot eat a regular chocolate bar, it is enough of a chocolate buzz to keep me happy. These bars are available in other flavours - Pecan Pie, Ginger Bread, Cocoa Orange, Cocoa Mint, Cashew Cookie & Berry Delight. I know it was difficult work but I could not blog about them without tasting them all first (well that is my excuse and I am sticking to it!). Cashew Cookie and Pecan Pie are my second favourites. The only flavour I cannot try is Cocoa Orange unfortunately for me I have an allergy to oranges.

Tesco now stocks a 4 x bar box which is great because I had only ever seen them individually at health food stores. Also look out for other products in Nakd’s range - Oatie Bars, Infused Raisins, Trek Energy bars and Trek flapjacks.
