    We buy on average about 10 a week, at 89p each (tesco). Would happily buy by the box if it made it cheaper, but not seen anywhere online that works out cheaper than tesco.

    in the tesco i shop at, it costs 88p. not that a penny really makes a difference, it's just strange that they have different prices in different stores. oh, and in case anyone was interested, animal aid are selling mixed berry trek bars for 25p each because they're a couple weeks out of date. i just bought 10

    well i tried. i used dates, sultanas, sunflower seeds, hazelnuts, apple juice, mixed berries and oats. i got the taste quite similar, but the texture was awful. i had to eat it with a spoon
    Did you add the apple juice to the mixture whilst it was being made? Also how much did you use?

    I'd personally soak the fruit in the juice overnight, then thoroughly drain it all to remove excess moisture. THEN grind up the dates to a puree.

    yeah, i added it whilst making. not much though, probably about 100ml at the most. i like your way better though, i'll try that next time.

    I think I'd rather pay the extra than set foot in that retched hell hole. Maybe I just order a whole box from Suma, wonder how long they'd last

    Default New Nakd raisins with flavour

    Has anyone else tried these yet? From Nakd who do the raw food bars - small packets of raisins which also have citric acid and "natural flavours".

    The raisins available are:

    Orange raisins
    Cherry raisins
    Lemon raisins

    They are absolutely delicious, and really taste just like the fruit (eg the orange ones taste just like oranges).

    Bit gimmicky, maybe, but totally raw - and for people like me who *hate* the taste of raisins, it's a perfect way to be able to eat them and enjoy them!

    I've been passing them round at work and everyone is sold on them and asking me where they can buy them (39p from Sainsburys near the jellies and Ambrosia stuff).

    Even better they are boldly labelled VEGAN and RAW FOOD and seem ideally suited for kids' packed lunches too

    Are they a new product, or have I just never seen them before? I'm in love!

    they're not new, i first tried them at the Bristol Vegan Fayre in 2007. they're a bit hard to get hold of round here, but one branch of Sainsbury's sells them. they are indeed very yummy!

    Had a mouthful of the cocoa bar today - i quite liked it! Surprisingly filling, I think a whole one would be more than enough to fill me up. Still seems quite expensive given how cheap the ingredients are.
    yum!

    Here here pinkcharge... & they also sell below cost too... although I doubt that's the case with Nakd bars.

    They acheive the texture by dehydration & that's probably why they cause indigestion too. I love em personally but they do give me terrible indigestion, as do Rashers!

    Nak'd and Trek bars are only somewhat raw, the nuts (as with most are heat processed) and the oats are cooked, the apple juice is pasteurised. But hey, they are still are pretty damn healthy snack in my opinion

    Yes !! I have found out that they are not 100% raw, i feel annoyed and tricked by the makers using tactics on the packaging to sell their product when i thought they were genuine and heart felt !!

    Berry flavoured 2.49 for 5 bars at Sainsbury's. Never tried these my OH likes the wholebake ones which come in Pumpkin and Hemp and a Carob one. I have checked ingredients on many of these bars as the manufacturers can be quite sly in shoving in sugar and other nasties yet saying they are healthy. The wholebake ones seem to be pretty much what they say they are. Good way of getting him some extra calories and nutrition from the nuts/seeds. He's a veggie for the past six months...I'm hoping he will eventually make the full leap.

    price comparison website, quite handy except you have to pay several delivery charges so you probably don't save all that much! Has a good selection of cereal/nut bars for you to compare and contrast lol!!

    I've heard that Lara bars are being discontinued in the UK - does anyone know if this is true?? Ooh and has anyone tried the new raw nakd bars (as in the ones without the oats). I hadn't seen them in any shops so i ordered a sample pack from their website. They're delish and they worked out at only 75p per bar, plus free delivery - bargain! Oh lordie i sound like a nakd marketing rep... but they honestly were nice!

    Oh my - please say the Larabar story ISN'T TRUE! I absolutely adore their bars! I can't find any information on their website. I shall pop them an e-mail to get an answer. Where did you hear this from, JC?

    However, thanks to the wonderful video cedarblue posted (many thanks!), I have been encouraged to try making some homemade versions!

    This was part of an e-mail i got from Nakd in June. I was hoping it wasn't true...

    "PS: As many of you know, Larabar, the US based raw food bar company has been purchased by General Mills for like a bjillion dollars and is pulling out of the UK. We're as bummed as everyone else about that since they were helping us promote raw foods"

    If this is true then i guess we'd better start stocking up before they all go

    Well, this is the response I got re. Larabars:

    Dear ********


    Thank you for contacting us with your enquiry about our General Millsproduct.

    We are sorry to have to advise you that this product is not currently available for retail in the country (UK). We conduct extensive consumer research and results have shown that the majority of our consumers have a preference for other types of products or flavours.

    Your comments have been documented and the appropriate personnel have been notified.

    We hope that you will continue to enjoy other products from our range in the future.

    Yours sincerely,


    A. Bristow
    Consumer Relations

    Ref: 2009/08/13-3183GB


    A bland reply! However, it looks like it will now be home experimentation of recipes! So probably a good thing, in a way? Larabars ARE lush, though.
