The Food Doctor Wholesome Bars - Review
Many thanks to the people from The Food Doctor for sending me some stuff from their healthy food range to review recently. They sent porridge as well as some snack bars, and me being a snackaholic I went for the snack bars over the "proper food" first! The bars are based on fruit, cereal and seeds and only contain naturally occuring sugars. In practice this means fructooligosacharides ( say what?! ). These are supposed to be healthier than sugar and the bars certainly tasted a lot less sugary than a chocolate bar. Pineapple & Banana Wholesome Bar: This bar contains a mixture of pineapple, banana, linseeds, sunflower seeds, rice protein, papaya, amaranth and millet seeds. There's 8.4g fruit sugar and 107 calories per 35g bar. I enjoyed the taste of this bar and it gave me a nice energy boost, but I wasn't keen on the bitty texture from the seeds. Still I reminded myself that it's full of healthy stuff! I think a bit of coconut might have improved...
