Aduna baobab raw energy bar review

Posted on 9:42am Thursday 16th Apr 2015

I recently won a prize hamper which had lots of health foods including this Aduna Baobab Raw Energy Bar. I decided to taste test the bar and review it on my blog.

These Aduna raw energy bars that come in a variety of flavours are right up my street! I have been experimenting with more superfoods in my diet recently and discovering healthy snacks that contains them too. These sorts of snacks are a lot healthier than most of the junk food snacks out there today and with the added bonus of superfood powders, they provide a lot of vitamins and minerals to keep you healthy and nourished, while being satisfied by a sweet tasty snack too!

Read on to see how the Aduna baobab bars taste.

Aduna raw energy bars - baobab review

I really do love the bright packaging with all it's funky patterns. It has a very African vibe! They are so inviting and would definitely stand out to me in a health food store.

As soon as I received the bars I dived straight in for a taste and here's what I immediately thought:

'Ooh this bar is exotically luscious! It was like sunshine in my mouth! Totally yummy. This will be a perfect summer treat with the citrus and pineapple flavour. Energising, fulfilling and refreshing all at the same time.'

Ha!

They are very summery with their citrus hints thanks to the baobab (which has such a cool name and is also a very cool fruit).

What are Aduna raw energy baobab bars good for?

These bars are promoted as great for healthy skin, energy and a boost for the immune system. They provide a good dose of vitamin C.

I've seen the superfood 'baobab' (pronounced bay-oh-bab) on packaging before but this is the first time I've had anything containing it.

This bar was in a recent prize hamper I won from a website called Nutrition and Healing Foods and I'm very glad it was. I've already researched baobab, started using the powder (blog post soon) and have been searching for a multipack of these bars!

What is baobab?

In short, baobab is a superfood (or superfruit) from the African 'Tree of Life' baobab tree.
It's a nutrient dense natural raw food packed with fibre (50%), vitamin C, potassium, calcium and antioxidants.
It contains way more antioxidants than any other superfruit including blueberries, goji berries and even acai berries.
The baobab fruit is also sourced sustainably and ethically from many African communities who own the trees.

More great benefits of the Aduna baobab raw energy bars

These bars are vegetarian, vegan, wheat and gluten free, raw, organic, dairy free and have no added sugar.
They contain only seven ingredients which are all natural; not a preservative or additive in sight.
To top it off (and not surprisingly) they won 'best healthy snack' at the 2015 Beauty Shortlist Awards.

If anyone ever fancies treating me, just sent a box of these my way!
