9 Bar Original:

It’s made up of different seeds (some sugar and oil to combine) and then coated in carob (which tastes like chocolate). It was very tasty, the seeds made it nice and chewy. I think the bar was around 280 calories, and was a lot more enjoyable than eating a pile of seeds!

9 Bar Nutty:

It is really tasty; I prefer it to the other 9bars. It is a lot more chewy- it seems to be held together better. It also tastes lovely and nutty (duh)- it has cashews, pistachios, almonds and hazelnuts as well as sunflower and hemp seeds. It does have some added sugar and vegetable oil, but generally it seems a better choice than other bars (e.g. Eat Natural Bars that are full of high GI rice and sugar syrups and things). It does have 279 calories, 7.7g protein, 16g carbs and 20g fat (mostly good fats) per bar. It is so filling I think I could probably eat half of it for a snack and it would enough.

It was nice- the carob topping tastes like chocolate and there is a nice mix of seeds. I think the nutty one was nicer than this one, but still filling and tasty with all those seeds.

It has not got carob on top, and I was more apprehensive, but actually it was really tasty. The honey flavour (honey and a little vegetable oil holds the seeds together) came through much more, whereas with the carob ones it just tastes sweet. The pumpkin seeds were lovely (they make up 20% of the bar).

This bar was also chewy, the carob topping was tasty (I cant tell it apart from chocolate) and the seeds make it a much better choice than a chocolate bar. Like all the 9 bars it is higher in calories than some other snacks, but the majority of the bar is healthy ingredients so it has more benefits than drawbacks.
