I was recently sent a selection of Creative Nature Superfood Snack Bars to review. The range is available at Tesco (free-from section), Holland & Barrett, and selected health food stores. These snack bars all contain nutrient dense ingredients that are 100% natural and raw. They're gluten-free and certified suitable for vegetarians and vegans. I'm always looking for healthier snacking choices so I was delighted to give these four flavours a try; Tropical Treat, Blissful Berry, Heavenly Cacoa, and Sublime Seed.
Tropical Treat
The whole range is extremely tasty but I especially loved the wonderfully moist texture in each bar. This is due to the cold pressing technique used which retains all the lovely vitamins and minerals and gives these bars such a great consistency.Tropical Treat: This combination of ginger, coconut, pineapple and papaya was my favorite of the bunch (although it was very hard to pick an overall favourite!). The ginger is quite strong here, with a zingy flavor that I really enjoyed. The pieces of pineapple feel really moist and are packed full of flavor too.
Blissful Berry: This bar contains goji berries and cranberries, amongst other dried fruits, that gives it a super fruity and delicious flavor. There was something almost jam like and dense about the flavours, but I mean that in a good way!
Heavenly Cacao
Heavenly Cacao: This is a divine combination of raw cacao and dried fruits. It smells like a deliciously indulgent chocolate treat but has none of the nasty ingredients. The fruity base of sultanas, dates and goji berries, gives this bar a lovely moist texture and sweet flavour, whilst the cacao nibs and cacao powder add an extra richness and depth.Sublime Seed: This was the least sweet of the four bars, with a base of roasted peanuts, sunflower seeds, dates and hemp protein powder. The sunflower seeds are initially the strongest flavor which marries well with the sweetness provided by the dates, but then the peanut flavor kicks in too and gives these a real nutty edge.
All four bars were really delicious and I have to admit that I much prefer the flavours here to other more well known brands of cold pressed fruit bars. My top picks are the Heavenly Cacao for a healthy chocolate tasting snack, and the Tropical Treat for it's zingy fresh flavours.
