Food Review: Kind Dark Chocolate, Nuts and Sea Salt

My local Tesco Express has a really small 'free from' section with a small choice of foods, I was looking for something to try when I spotted the Kind dark chocolate nuts and sea salt bar, which, sounded delicious.

It's Gluten free, Dairy free, 60% nuts, high fibre, no artificial colours, flavours or preservatives and it states 'ingredients you can see and pronounce'. It's made up of almonds, peanuts, walnuts, sea salt, honey and chocolate.


Sadly I was disappointed when I tried it, there seemed to be no salt apart from one part which was super salty and slightly off putting, the nuts were really difficult to get through and the chocolate was pretty much non existent. I found it really difficult to finish it (which is surprising for me haha).

I think it cost me around £2 which honestly I wouldn't pay again, in fact I don't think I'd buy one of these on offer. I'm sorry to those of you that absolutely love them, honestly it's the first free from thing I've tried that I don't like- I'll go back to the shop soon and find something else new to try. I'm really enjoying trying things I never even considered before!

Food Review - Provamel Cashew Milk (Unsweetened)

I love cashews, and I love cashew milk (having made the homemade stuff a few times), and I know that in America you can buy cashew milk in cartons already, but not over here! You wouldn't believe how excited I was when I saw people talking about Alpro bringing out a fresh cashew milk, nor how disappointed I was when I couldn't find any!

Holland & Barrett to the rescue again! I popped in there to get some snacks, and low and behold, there was a teeny weeny carton of Provamel Cashew on the shelf. I bought it, despite being a whopping £1.79 for 500ml, and took it home to try.

I was quite disappointed initially, it doesn't really have much of a flavour to it at all. However, it is creamy and was good in a cup of tea, and definitely yummy with cereal .Drinking it by itself wasn't so great - too plain! I would buy this again if I couldn't find another safe nut milk to buy, but I wouldn't buy it out of choice.
