Review: Nākd Mixed Case

I was kindly sent a mixed case of Nākd bars* from Natural Balance Foods to review, and having tried a few in the past I was keen to try out some of the newer flavours. Natural Balance Foods is a British company specialising in snack bars  and cereal bars made from 100% natural ingredients and are gluten and wheat free (perfect for my husband who suffers from hidradenitis suppurativa and has found that a grain-free diet improves his symptoms). The bars are also vegetarian and vegans friendly, which suits be perfectly!

Nākd bars are made from natural ingredients including a variety of fruits and nuts, they are wheat and dairy free with no added sugars which makes them a healthy alternative to other snack bars out there, with many of the Nākd bars counting towards your 1 of 5 a day.

Nākd Mixed Case offers a fantastic range of flavours to try from fruit focused to more fun ideas such as ginger bread and pecan pie. My selection included: Cashew Cookie, Cocoa Orange, Ginger Bread, Cocoa Mint, Pecan Pie, Berry Delight, Caffe Mocha and Cocoa Delight as well as Rhubarb and Custard.

My favourite bars are the ones which are either fruity or the ‘pudding’ flavours – I simply loved the cashew cookie which was really sweet and satisfying. I have to admit that the chocolate inspired flavours were a bit too bitter for me – but I do have a very sweet tooth, however, my husband was happy to accept the chocolate bars and had no complaints!

I am yet to try the ginger bread and pecan pie, but I am very much looking forward to it! I award the Nākd Mixed Case 4 out of 5 stars for offering a healthy and tasty alternative to the otherwise calorie and sugar-filled snacks available today, and for keeping in mind people who have special diets be that vegan or wheat-free.
