I was quite suprised; it was DELICIOUS!!

[Cherry]

I only recently tried those, and was very impressed too. Think I had the berry one. Will look out for the cocoa. Quite expensive tho.

i didnt like my bar much - pretty much like all the other fruit/nut bars around
:(

They're 88p in Tescos, haven't found them in either Holland and Barrett, or my local health food store though which is a shame :(

Boots in Brighton sell them, but you might not want to shop in Boots... they cost £1.35 in there too :eek:

i thought they were nice at first but they're too sweet. that's one of the things that puts me off raw food, everything's so sweet, even the vegetables :confused:

[triona.d.]

hi guys,
i've just eaten this AMAZING raw food bar! they're new by some group called 'Naked' - they do a cocoa one and a berry one. i had the cocoa one which was SUBLIME...it tasted like cadburys fruit and nut used to! if you see them, i recommend them...they're totally raw and completely vegan. happy veganising, tri :)

[Orange-powered]

god I love these bars!!! I don't find them too sweet...maybe the berry one is a bit but I love them anyway...think berry is my fave but cocoa is also really nice, havent had the apple one that much. Had a funny experience with these actually a few months back...was walking along eating the cocoa one and this drunk guy comes up to me and asks me if he can try some of what i'm eating! i told him he probably wouldnt like it cos well he might have been expecting it to be a chocolate bar or something but anyway he liked it! lol random pointless story.

They're 88p in Tescos(

:eek: that's really cheap!! my local holland and barrett does them, as well as the local healthfood shop, but they cost more than that - like £1.60 or something. might need to head to tescos now....:rolleyes:

They're less than a pound in Sainsburys too.

The Trek bars by the same company are similar but slightly less sweet in my opinion. I tend to prefer them. They're not raw, though.

Both sorts are great to have in your pocket for any time you need a healthy energy boost. I usually have some knocking about the place.

[RedWellies]

Me too.

What heart-rendering disappointment... I was thinking I I'd stumbled across a thread promoting a bar where vegans can socialise and drink in the nude.

Oh well. Next time I'm in Tescos I shall shell out my 88p... these nutty items of confectionery will however be tainted with the bitter taste of disillusion.

[Orange-powered]

lol...you could always set up such a thread...I'm sure there's plenty of people on here who'd be interested ;)

[auntierozzi]

Me too Veganavenger!!!! Orange-powered....do you think that York is the place to start up a place like this? It's definitely a bit nippy here, especially if you have to sit by the door..LOL

[Orange-powered]

hahaha...not really sure York is the best place, firstly its freezing up here as well!! also its quite a small city full of middle class well to do people who might not really like the idea very much. Then again, there's also a fairly large student population (which I'm part of), who are probably more open minded about such things?

One of the things about these "treats" is beyond my comprehension:
How come they claim to be "raw" and the sell by date is 02-2008? O_o
Surely if it's raw it should go off in a week or so, shouldnt it?

[twinkle]

I don't think so - dried fruit keeps for ages, but it's technically counted "raw" because it hasn't been heated, I think. Also, the sugar content is high, which is a natural preservative, and they're all aeseptically sealed as well.

I really like the apple version of the Nakd bar, and the peanut butter Trek.

Heehee, I just stumbled across this post of yours, and it really made my day! I like your sense of humour!

i was watching ray mears wild food the other day (i like the veggies he cooked, had to grimmace at the dead animal parts, fortunately they werent too many, but i digress...) and he collected hawthorn berries, juiced them and let the mush set in a bowl. it then gets dried out in sunlight and cut into slices. he pulled some out his pocket and said it was 3 years old, still tasted good, and proceeded to eat some. not the finest example, but it shows you don't need loads of preservatives to make long term snacks:D

[mooli magic]

I quite like the cherry and apple pie ones but found the cocoa one absolutely disgusting.

I wonder how many calories they contain? They seem really filling to me and I could never eat more than one in a sitting (and that's saying something!)

[philfox]

the bery ones are 337 calories per 100 grams. i dont know how big the bars are. http://www.naturalbalancefoods.co.uk/PRODUCTS_NAKD.html i havent tried any yet, only seen them in the camping stores in hull. i guess they are a better snack then chocolate, choccies never fill me up...just make me sick :S

[!!]

i love the apple ones, they're so nice!! :)

[mooli magic]

the bery ones are 337 calories per 100 grams. i dont know how big the bars are. [url]

They're 68g which means:

Berry Cheeky: 229 calories

Banana Bread: (new flavour!!!!) 231 calories

Cocoa Loco: 221 calories

Apple Pie: 221 calories

[emmapresley]

TY mooli magic! that's most handy to know :)

i got all three..not the banana one? didn't see that.. haven't been able to tackle an entire bar as yet cos they seem quite dense and sweet..and generally i can eat for britain.

[Kevster]

They are 99p in my local wholefood shop, it has taken some training but i can now happily eat a whole bar in one go.
