This week Snacking Saturday comes to you via a long-term favourite of mine, Nature Valley. I blogged about their gardens competition a couple of weeks back, and at the time also mentioned they had sent me some of their new bars to review! Mmm.
I would like to apologise, this isn’t going to be the best review. The suspected kidney infection is now maybe a kidney stone…and hence, I am on a little less than top form!
Haul!
I remember first seeing these bars a couple of years ago…and they vanished for a while before I really got a chance to try them. Now they are back. And yummy! I’m not a major berry girl but it was still enjoyable to me…the fruit and nut was divine! I like cereal bars with a softer texture (although it does break quite easily, meaning I get a messy desk!)
The very latest addition to the range are the crunchy and more bars. I confess, I am yet to try the oats and hazelnuts variety…but this was because I am too busy enjoying the oats and berries. What I really love about these bars is that they are reminiscent of hobnob biscuits, but better for you! The berry variety (despite my earlier claimed dislike for berries) has me hooked!
I also managed to finally track down the elusive ginger crunch granola bar, which isn’t on the website yet. This bar is part of the original line up and hugely delicious! If you see one, grab it (but only if you like ginger…this isn’t for the faint hearted!)
Who else is a Nature Valley fan? I remember once upon a time there being a banana variety. Unless I dreamt it. Any one else remember?
(I know the USA has more flavours…peanut butter I believe…if anyone fancies a bar exchange…)

Seeing those brings back memories. My mom used to pack Nature Valley bars in our school lunches:) xx
oh i got a free sample of one of these today from the supermarket haha
Ouch hope you feel better soon! Btw the shoes in your previous post are beyond amazing! xx
Ooh, these look delish! 🙂
I’ll be searching for these in the supermarket! 🙂
The ginger ones sound awesome – I will be keeping my eyes peeled!!
Hope you feel better soon x
perfect snack for work.

Oooh yum! I love nature valley and you’ve just reminded me to grab some the next time I swing by a supermarket etc.
Haven’t seen any of the fruit and nut varieties in the US. But yeah, we have peanut butter, which is so good. And also cinnamon and oats and honey.
I was going to say, I remember loving their peanut butter ones. I hope you feel better soon, you poor thing. x
These bars look good! I haven’t seen the new ones yet! Feel better soon <3
Oh noo, I didn’t know that you were ill 🙁 *hugs* Good news though…I am in America right now and shall search out some bars for you in new flavours (postage within the UK on my return will be peanuts) 🙂 xxx
Oh hell yes – the ginger crunch ones are utterly divine! Am very intrigued by the thought of peanut butter flavour…
Oh poor old you! Hope everything is ok, that sounds awful!
yes!!! we have peanut butter. for the first time i have something that aother blogger doesn’t get 😮 that never happens. hem the US and their laras, lunas in all flavours :/ they skimp out here. i think i just bought the apple one a while ago but i haven’t had it yet. i will try it this upcoming week i think just for you 😛 i just don’t like how its two bars but, like, if you don’t want them both its hard to wrap up so you have to put it in something. probably not a bad thing but im weird like that. i hope you enjoy the last flavour…that hazelnut sounds divine either we don’t get i or i just haven’t seen it. probably the latter 😛 xox
