9bar Flax - Nutritious Energy Bar

I have always being interested in naturally healthy foods and especially ways to snack without overdosing on chocolate and sweets, as food is such a weakness of mine! Whilst in Bagel Nash the other week, I noticed these bars and recognised that Fleur (also know as 'FleurDeForce') had spoken about this health bar in one of her vlogs once so I decided to see what they're like...

 After my Bagel Nash visit, I decided to purchase more of them from Holland & Barrett as they taste SO good! They are gluten free, dairy free and wheat free, so I know I'm getting a lotta natural goodness whilst receiving energy. This is so much of a better alternative to getting those 'Boost bars' which just have ridiculous amounts of sugar and fat in them!

Calories: 261

Protein: 8.7g

Carbohydrate: 16.8g

Of which sugars: 15g

Fat: 17.8

Of which saturates: 5g

Mono-unsaturates: 4.9g

Poly-unsaturates: 7.1g

Omega 3 fatty acids: 0.6g

Fibre: 3.1g

Sodium: <0.1g

As you can see, the vast majority of the fat in there is healthy fats; fats which your body need. It is low in sodium and provides you with not only energy, but also fibre and omega 3!

They are £1 each, so they are more expensive than your typical chocolate bar (healthy food is so much more expensive which really annoys me!) I guess that's what you gotta pay for natural ingredients. You can currently get them buy one get one half price in Holland&Barrett though, so I shall link it here.

You can also get the original one and the pumpkin one. I can't really tell a difference between the flax one and the original and the only difference with the pumpkin once is that there's no chocolate - type thing on the top, however there are pumpkin seeds instead.

Have you ever tried one of these?! And do you like health and food related posts?
