MAYVER’S NATURAL HEALTH BARS SALTED CARAMEL PEANUT BUTTER
This is one of the better bars on the market, Unlike many supermarket snack bars that rely on refined starches and sweeteners, this bar uses mostly real, recognisable ingredients that offer fibre, healthy fats, and plant-bas
CARMAN’S PROTEIN BARS PEANUT BUTTER
This is Carman's showing they can do simple and wholesome when they want to. With dates providing natural sweetness and peanuts delivering protein and satiety, it's a solid option for those seeking real food energy. The 14g p
CARMAN’S NUT BARS ALMOND, HAZELNUT & VANILLA
This is one of my favourite Carman's bars! By prioritising nuts over sugar, they've created something actually nutritious. The 6g of protein per bar and good fats make this a proper snack, not just empty calories. Yes, I'd pr
BLUE DINOSAUR BANANA BREAD BAR
NOW we're talking! Just FIVE ingredients and I can pronounce them all - coconut, dates, banana, coconut oil, and cinnamon. That's it! No glucose syrup, no 'natural flavours', no preservatives. This is what a real food bar sho
MOTHER EARTH CHOCOLATE CHIP OATY SLICE
At first glance, this bar looks more promising than most. It’s refreshing to see real butter instead of vegetable oils, and it contains some wholegrains. These choices suggest a more thoughtful formulation, and that’s som

UNCLE TOBYS MUESLI BARS CHEWY APRICOT
Small improvements don't change the big picture. Yes, 8% fruit beats the competition and the fibre content is good, but with ultra-processed sugars, multiple additives, and a 14+ ingredient list, this is still industrial food
NOSHU LOW CARB CHERRY AND COCONUT INDULGENCE BARS
This bar achieves its low-carb label through ingredient engineering rather than real food swaps. While it may fit keto macros on paper, the high dose of synthetic fibres and sugar alcohols can lead to bloating and gut discomf
UNCLE TOBYS MUESLI BARS YOGHURT & STRAWBERRY
This bar’s 4-star health rating is a textbook example of how the current system misleads families. Yes, it contains 34% oats and 10.5g fibre (per 100g) — but look closer: just 1% real strawberry, ultra-processed yoghurt c
KOJA LIGHTLY BAKED OAT BITES
KOJA has genuinely innovated in a category drowning in sugar. With a third of the sugar and triple the fibre of competitors, this is a bar I can actually recommend. Proof that food manufacturers CAN do better when they try!
