Nature Valley Vs. Medley (healthy bars)!

Now both of these bars, the 'McVities milk chocolate and raisin Medley bar' and the 'Nature Valley sweet & nutty peanut bar' were on a promotional offer, so I decided to trial them both and do a little comparison! 

The Medley bars come in at 127 calories with 10g of sugar and many, many other ingredients! Perhaps I didn't try the best flavour of Medley bar, but I wasn't too impressed by these... I found them quite stodgy actually and was put off by the huge list of artificial ingredients! 

Secondly I tried the Nature Valley bars and hoped for more! These bars are higher in calories with 150 and also have 10g of sugar, but these calories are coming from the right places as nuts and oats tend to have a fairly high calorie content but are packed with nutrients and at least 44% of the bar is made up of peanuts and oats. These bars are delicious! If you enjoy nuts, peanut butter and/or oats you should definitely pick up one of these to try! Also, peanuts are a great source of protein and iron! I don't recommend making these part of your daily meal plan, but as a semi-healthy treat, I think they're great. Besides, they're super tasty!

Finally, the Nature Valley peanut bars are great, but I'm still yet to find a bar I love more than the 100% vegan, 100% whole-food Nakd bars! Check out what I've said about them by clicking here!
