So as you can see these aren’t high protein bars but they are what I’m calling a health bar. They are good for you when eaten in moderation of course. Everything is organic, pure and healthy.

Some of you might have panicked when you saw that there is 15g of Sugar in most of these. This is naturally occurring sugar not the processed rubbish that we normal try to avoid like the plague. Most of the sugar I imagine comes from Raw Agave Nectar which although is better for you than processed white sugar still won’t help your cut or diet much and should be consumed as a treat.

Price
£8 - £8.50 for a box of 9 or £16.04 for a case of 18.

Side Effects
None

Results
The good news is all 4 of the bars taste delicious! My personal favourite is the Acai Berry but another reviewer was particularly partial to the Blueberry bar, the bottom line is they are all amazing. The bars make the perfect preworkout snack actually as they provide a great energy boost, I also used them along with a protein shake to make up a meal in a rush. 

They are very versatile and handy to carry with you wherever you go as a delicious healthy treat. They survived being stuffed in suit pockets and gym bags, they never melted or got mushy, they always held their structure. The most important test I did with these is “Can they be dunked in a coffee?” Yes, yes they can.

Since they are so sweet when you eat them they will satisfy you cravings for junk food. They are fairly filling as well so make great travelling snacks. They are pretty cheap as well coming in at about £0.90 per bar.
These bars are relatively low in protein content so probably won’t be for the hardcore bodybuilders out there but makes an excellent snack for the rest of us. 7/10
