Kev's Snack Reviews

It was only a few days back that I reviewed Posh Bits Cocoa Raspberry and hoped to find the Sea Salt variety, well it seems Tesco answered my prayers straightaway because the next day I found these in their Free From Section. Hurrah! Tesco now stock these as well as Cocoa Raspberry and Cocoa Mandarin . They cost £2.75 and of course are raw, vegan, gluten free and dairy free. Here's the ingredients...it's quite a simple list, like all Nakd products. I'm not sure what I was expecting from these, really...I know what salted caramel tastes like so was half expecting something similar. Maybe it's a subconscious thing since salted caramel is becoming so ubiquitous as a flavour these days. There were little flecks of the sea salt just visible on the Bits. Like the other varieties they come in heart, diamond and dome shapes. And they tasted lovely! I was a bit wary initially they might taste weird with the added salt, but if anything it enhanced the sweet flavour ...

Following on from my review of Nakd Posh Bits: Cocoa Mandarin flavour , today we have the Cocoa Raspberry version. I saw these in Sainsbury's Freefrom section, but strangely they didn't have the Cocoa Sea Salt variety...boo!  Like all Nakd products, these are of course raw, vegan, vegetarian, gluten free, dairy free and refined sugar free. I've added a pic of the ingredients list above so you can see what's in there...pretty standard Nakd stuff really. What isn't standard about these Posh Bits though are the shapes...they come in hearts, diamonds and domes. Which is certainly more interesting and fun than some "clean food" products...naming no names *cough* Deliciously Ella's Energy Balls! *cough*. These had a nice earthy, cocoa aroma with a hint of tangy raspberry. You can see the flecks of raspberry embedded within the Bits too. They tasted lovely; a pleasant cocoa flavour with the perfect texture from the nuts and dates - not too soft or...

Nakd (aka Natural Balance Foods) have launched a new range of "premium, grown up snacks" called Posh Bits. These replace the Nakd Bits range that have been out for a while now, to the disappointment of many fans I'm sure. Like all Nakd products, these are a mixture of raw fruit and nuts "smooshed together", and are raw, vegan, dairy free and gluten free. Here's the ingredients list: Also here's the Nutrition Information, for those who like details of calories and fat etc. If these are indeed meant to replace Nakd Cocoa Orange Bits , they certainly do a good job of it...they're very tasty! I liked the differing shapes of the bits, there's hearts: Diamonds: And, what I can only describe as "domes": The shapes certainly make the whole experience of eating these a lot more fun....but how do they taste? Well, they're addictively yummy! They have a lovely zesty aroma and flavour from the mandarin, with a good strong ...
