LIFESTYLE // Let's get Nakd*

Hey there!

Whilst all of the coffee shops are bring out their Christmas drinks I have been trying (and failing….) to introduce healthier items into my life. From more fruit and water to less convenience food, I have been attempting to get myself in shape for my trip to Australia over Christmas. Unfortunately, too many vanilla lattes and socials have not helped out one bit but I have found a new favourite thing for when I am feeling like I want to make a healthy choice. Yep, you guessed it – the Nakd bar.

I kindly got sent a box of these bars by Natural Balance Foods and they have not lasted that long. Made entirely of fruit, nut and natural flavourings, these healthy snack bars appear to be one big healthy choice in colourful packaging (and I am like a magpie to colourful food packaging). As they are made mostly of dates and raisins, they are wheat, gluten AND dairy free whilst also contributing towards 1 of your 5 a day. Oh yeah, and they are 100% Vegan friendly too. It is seriously a win win! 

There are plenty of flavours to choose from ranging from Cocoa Orange (my favourite) to Very Berry and Pecan Pie. I am really impressed by how much flavour is in each bar considering they are made just of fruit and minimal amounts of natural flavouring. There is so much packed into each small bar that your mouth is practically bursting from the sensation. They are the perfect sized treat to sort out that sweet craving that I always get at around 3pm to get me through to dinner.

Personally, I like these a lot. I mean a lot, a lot. There are so many flavours I didn’t even know existed which have quickly become my favourites – especially Cocoa Orange, Bakewell Tart and Coffee Mocha. The bars aren’t huge, but are really quite filling. Sure, they aren’t big enough for breakfast but why not add a yoghurt with it? Healthy breakfast sorted.

Sure, they do have a strange texture that takes a little getting used to. However, if you want a snack during the day that is on the healthy side but you just want to pop in your bag – these will become your best friend! I don’t leave the house without one!

Have you tried any of the Nakd bars? Which are your favourite flavours? Let me know!
