Gluten free dupe for 'Harvest Chewee' bars.

Anyone remember eating these when they were younger and possibly not yet gluten free?
If you have never tried Harvest Chewee bars, they are sweet, soft, chewy (sort of in the name), cereal bars which are great for children's lunchboxes. And thankfully I have found a gluten free option which I believe tastes pretty much the same!

The gluten free version are 'Nature's Path Nice and Nobbly Dark Chocolate Chip Granola Bars'.
They are currently £3 in ASDA.
I am rating them green, simply because I believe they taste just as good as other cereal bars on the market. 


The only disadvantage to this product is the price, as I think that £3 for 5 bars is quite a lot. However this is the same for many, many gluten free products, not just with this one. The topic of overpriced gluten free products is one which I feel strongly about and could discuss for days, and I am sure many of you feel exactly the same. 

Thanks for reading this very short review everyone. If any of you have any views on the pricing of gluten free products, please share them in the comments!

My gluten free friends, please stop what you're doing and read this!


So remember that review I did a few weeks ago on Bfree's gluten free wraps?
If not then don't worry because there's a new kid on the block....

Warburtons Newburn Bakehouse Gluten free, Wheat free, Dairy free White Wraps
I discovered these at the weekend and was blown away by how good they were.
The pack of 4 wraps will be £2.49 (saving you 50p) in Tesco until the 5th of October so I urge you to go and try them out. You will not be disappointed!

If you haven't guessed already, I am rating this product a very bright green.
Unlike the last wraps I reviewed, these guys have the same floury, soft texture as the normal variety.
They taste great and are tasty for lunch filled with anything you fancy.
I  cut them into 4  on Saturday night and ate them with duck, plum sauce, spring onions and cucumber, instead of the gluten-containing pancakes that normally accompany this dish, and it tasted extremely good!

I hope you all found this blog helpful and are planning a trip to Tesco a.s.a.p to get some of these!
Thanks again,

Mixing up lunchtime with Warburton's sandwich thins!

Warburtons Newburn Bakehouse Sliced White Sandwich Thins


These smart little things are relatively new to the supermarket shelves.
They are currently rolled back to £1.70 in ASDA, saving you 50p.
So go grab some now because they are getting a green rating!

 Let's face it, noone really likes a sandwich made with a not-so-good gluten free loaf, I know that I always end up picking away at the bread.
I think these are a great option at lunchtime, they have a really great flavour and I actually look forward to eating them for my lunch.I particularly like these thins packed full with my favourite fillings, such as tuna and sweetcorn  I also love them toasted in my George Foreman grill!

There is also a seeded variety of the thins and the more recent variety of "Sliced fruity thins with orange" which are great for breakfast, topped with marmalade or nutella.

That's about all folks!
Check back again next week for another review and please follow my twitter if you haven't already.
Thanks,

Gold star Udi's!

Udi's Gluten Free Chocolate Chip and Toffee Flavoured Muffins
These fabulous muffins come in at a price of £1.50 in ASDA.
As you can probably tell, I am extremely pleased that I popped these in my basket this week...

These definitely deserve a green rating. They are by far the best shop-bought muffins I have had the pleasure of eating since becoming a gluten free freak. 
Unfortunately for those of you who are also dairy free, these muffins are out of bounds. However, I am almost sure that this is what makes them so good!

When you open the packet you will discover that one muffin is actually toffee flavoured and the other is chocolate chip. For a start I think this is a great idea as if only one person is gluten free it gives them a bit of variety. 
The muffins themselves are soft and moist, with an almost madeira like sponge. They are really all you could expect from a gluten free muffin, and I would say these muffins would be classed as yummy in anyone's standards (even those lucky, "normal" people). Also the chocolate chips being real chocolate, due to the fact that the muffins are not dairy free, makes that muffin extra scrummy and gives it a great advantage to any other gluten free muffin I have tried.

I urge you all to try these delicious little (or not so little) treats, and I really hope you all love them as much as I do!
Thanks again for reading everyone and I apologise again that this weeks review is a day late.
