Snacking Saturday; Bear Essentials

This review has been a long time coming. I first discovered Bear Nibbles over a year ago when they first launched their range of snacks; at the time they were hard to come by and once in my possession were treated like gold-dust. You’ll now find Bear available online, in supermarkets (Waitrose I know for sure stock it) and health food shops which for me, is perfect (although my local Waitrose has decided to stop selling a lot of the range, booooo).

This review is based on what I was able to get locally, so doesn’t cover the full range; if you see any products by Bear that I don’t mention here, try them!
For more information on Bear and their story check out the “About Us” section of the website…they say it better than I ever could! I’ve been in touch with a couple of members of the team and they are all super lovely and passionate about what they do.

Yo Yos are aimed at kids and come complete with Bear trading cards! There are four flavours available…the one I sampled was peach. Each roll (there are two in the pack) equal one of your five a day. The ingredients list is impressively short and the taste is amazing. They are also very diet friendly with each roll being approx 30 calories.
I keep a stash of these in my bag at all times for a quick blood sugar boost.

The Fruit Nibbles also boast an impressively short ingredients list and each pack is under 100 calories. There are two varieties; Cherry and Berry containing plump, juicy dried cherries and berries and the more tropical Mango and Pineapple flavour which has a dryer texture but still tastes exactly like the fresh fruit. I LOVE these. Perfect with some mixed nuts for a mid-afternoon snack.



The Granola Nibbles are the stand out product to me. Again coming in at under 100 calories, these are crunchy snacking heaven. I love them on their own, but also mixed in to greek yoghurt, porridge or ice cream! There is also a tropical flavour that I used to be able to get hold of until Waitrose plotted against me, which is AMAZING. Second favourite is Cocoa Cherry pie which balances out the granola crunch with freeze dried cherries and nibbed cocoa beans.

All Bear products are available on the online shop where you will also find a list of stockists.

So,
who else has tried Bear nibbles?
Have I tempted you? They really are Grrreat (sorry, I had to)

  4. For some reason my local waitrose doesn’t stock them and the only part of the range i’ve found in local health food shops is the ‘yo-yos’

    I wish the granola was available, looks yummy!
