Stevie’s Blog

I never expected to be writing a blog like this, but here we are.

I’m well aware that I’m not at my fittest and could do with a little bit of weight, but as I’m hard to weigh as I need scales I can sit / roll on.

As part of my new wheelchair purchase, they offered to weigh me, I did hesitate, but it made sense to find out. I’m not going to give any details, but I’m now conscious I need to rein it in a little bit.

My current plan is to change my eating habits slightly, cut out bread, chocolate, breakfast pastries etc. Nothing to drastic.

I’m looking for things I can replace breakfast with and if I really need to snack something healthier than chocolate, biscuits etc.

Let’s start with Nākd bars. AI says

Nākd raw fruit bars are snack bars made primarily from raw fruits, nuts, and sometimes flavours or spices. They do not contain added sugars, syrups, or artificial flavours, and are often gluten-free, dairy-free, and vegan

Nākd produce 15 flavoured bars, I’ve scored the 6 I’ve tried from least favourite to most favourite:-

• Berry Delight I doubt mind the taste of this one. But I hate the tiny crunchy seeds in raspberries, this bar has the raspberry seeds, it’s a no from me

• Peanut Delight I’m not usually a fan of peanut based things. I don’t like peanut butter and I’d never choose a snickers. But this is actually alright

• Blueberry Muffin A light touch of blueberry. A decent choice.

• Cocoa Delight its a chocolate delight. What more could you want? Middle of the pack

• Salted Caramel this one is definitely my favourite. Pretty tasty

• Cocoa Orange This one made a last minute climb to the top of the list. It’s not Terry’s Chocolate Orange. But it’s certainly orangey. My favourite Nākd bar so far!
