One of my New Years resolutions was to not eat cakes, chocolate,
sweets and crisps during the week. I have to say I am doing quite well. Sure I
have the odd slip up and might have a cheeky biscuit but when you compare this
to how I was eating before when I was eating crisps and chocolate every day I
think I am doing a good job.
One of the main
things I usually find difficult when choosing healthier options is snacking and
foods that I can have with my lunch.
Last year I discovered Nakd bars and since my mini health
kick I have been eating more of them to cure my sweet cravings!
So what are Nakd bars? Well, Nakd bars are raw fruit and
nut bars. When I first read this I was not too sure as I don’t like nuts but I
gave them a go anyway and I am so glad I did! Basically they are whole foods
squashed together with no added sugar or syrups and as strange as this may
sound they are absolutely delicious.
Nakd bars are
gluten, wheat and dairy free and are basically free from nasties. I will give
you an example of the ingredients. The Cocoa Orange bar contains 40% dates, 40% cashews, 14% raisins, 5% cocoa
and a hint of natural orange and chocolate flavouring.
I love these bars and
they hit just the right spot when I am craving something sweet. They do not
taste like fruit and nuts as all, in fact most of them I have found taste like
cakes! The flavours that I have tried already include, cocoa orange, cocoa
mint, cashew cookie, gingerbread and cocoa crunch. All of them I have enjoyed
and the fact that they contain minimal saturated fats and no nasty ingredients make
them even better!
Have you tried Nakd bars? Which flavours would you recommend?
