NoGii Bars Review

Before Christmas I was sent a selection of snack bars from NoGii to review. They have a range of different products in several different varieties to suit the whole family, and all are made to the following standards -

• ALL NATURAL
• NO GLUTEN
• NO HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP
• NO TRANS FAT
• NO HYDROGENATED OILS
• IDEAL BALANCE OF PROTEIN/FAT/CARBS

The bars I have been sent are all also suitable for vegetarians.

I like simple things, and I like snacks that are handy to put in my bag and take out with me. It's far better if they're going to fill me or the children up and stop us feeling hungry for hours, and it's best of all if it's made from good stuff that has positive benefits for our bodies.

We all liked the High Protein Chocolate Mint Bar the best, it was lovely! Covered in a thin layer of chocolate and with a texture that's chewy and almost brownie like, it isn't low on calories, but it's very high in protein, which is incredibly rare for a snack.

The Nuts About Nuts Paleo bar is very much a 'nuts and seeds' bar, which I like, but doesn't suit a lot of people. It has a figgy type of taste and texture and although chewy it's quite heavy. It really fills you up and keeps you going.

The NoGii Kids Chocolate Chip bar is mallow and puffed rice with chocolate chips and goodies. Chewy and sweet enough to satisfy a child, but really filling and again loaded with protein - 8g per bar - to digest slowly and really satisfy.

NoGii are available in 5 different ranges ~ Paleo, High Protein, Super Protein, D'lites (chocolate covered low calorie bites) and kids.They're new to the UK and currently available from Win Naturally Online Health Food Store, and instore from Win Naturally in the Trafford Centre, Manchester. They are not at all cheap, costing around £2.50-£3 per bar, or around £1 each when bought in packs of 18, but they're ideal for athletes, people in recovery, walkers, hikers and others who have specific needs for energy or protein, or coeliacs who want a treat they can eat.
