KIND Bars, Gluten Free Snack Bars, Caramalised Biscuit Nut, High Fibre, Healthy Snack, No Artificial Colours, Flavours or Preservatives, Multipack 12 x 40g

I really like these bars. I went on a sugar detox and it recommended that I find a natural protein bar should I need a snack. There are so many processed protein bars out there which is why I was drawn to Kind. I looked at the range of Kind bars and these had one of the lower sugar contents. Plus I wanted less peanuts and more other nuts.It does have sweetness though - doesn’t taste like cardboard so a good balance between natural ingredients, minimal sugar and a nice taste.

Lovely bars

Good value for the box. Tasty and very filling

The only negative thing about these bars is that they disappear too quickly

Very tasty

Love this product. Great for in between meals when you get that hunger pang. I have they have just the right amount of sweetness. Quality ingredients packed with nuts. keeps you full for longer. But have a drink ready as you'll need it to wash the bits of nuts from around your gums.

Super taste and lovely texture and a good size. I eat mine at break time as it’s filling and gives a good boost of energy.

On paper, they have a lot going for them (gluten-free and don't contain any artificial colours, flavours, or preservatives), and if you find them on sale, they might be worth considering if you need a convenient snack that is high in protein and fibre.However, my biggest problem was the flavour itself. The caramel almond and sea salt combination sounds great, but the execution is really inconsistent from bite to bite. Sometimes I'd get an overpowering hit of sweetness from the caramel that was almost disgustingly sweet. Other times, it felt like I was just biting into pure sea salt. This lack of balance was genuinely off-putting and made the experience of eating the bar unpleasant. You never quite know what you're going to get with the next bite.Additionally, while KIND promotes these as a "healthy snack", it's worth looking closer. Yes, the fibre (7g) and protein (6g) are decent, but each 40g bar also contains 15 grams of fat and 5 grams of sugar. Labelling something with that much fat as purely "healthy" feels a bit like marketing spin. It would also explains why I feel "full" and having trouble finishing a bar sometimes, not because it's filling, but because of the huge amount of fat.Overall, these bars are just okay. The nutritional benefits like fibre and being gluten-free are good, but the inconsistent, poorly balanced flavour and the slightly misleading health halo really irks me. They're edible, especially if discounted, but not something I'd rush to buy again.
