Always on a look out for portable
Gluten free deliciousness and for a new snack bar to perk up my packed lunch (I say it proud, people), I stumbled across Frank Bars on Twitter and was
thrilled when the lovely team at Frank Food Co agreed to send me some samples
to try out!
The Frank Food Co was set up in 2012 by former Everton footballer Neil Robinson- which i think is an interesting tit-bit....

The Frank Bars proudly state they provide 'Honest Snacking'-
which makes my nutritional ears stand to attention. Frank bars are Gluten Free,
Nut Free and Dairy Free as well as being made from 100% natural ingredients - I
can understand basically every ingredient listed on the bars
which made me feel totally at ease (nothing worse than
something unrecognisable being listed on a food product!). Also
every flavour comes with the addition of (dairy free) Chocolate and provides nearly 4g of protein per bar- win!
So the taste...
Oat &
Chocolate
Think of the
texture of a finely milled flapjack with a coating of dark chocolate on top-
and you will have the taste of this snack bar nailed. Slightly chewy and no
funny after taste that a sugar loaded flapjack would usually give me.
Double Chocolate
On opening the
packaging, you can smell a natural chocolate smell. Texture was slightly firmer
that the Oat flavour and there definitely is a subtle taste of (what I eventually
decided on) ginger-cake to it… really more-ish and would be perfect mid-afternoon
at work.
Strawberry &
Chocolate
Smells instantly
like a Quality Street Strawberry cream sweet- something that made me weary of
tasting as I am not a huge fan but I was pleasantly surprised to taste a
Strawberry Jam like taste balanced by the dark chocolate layer. Sweet but not
sickly!
Orange &
Chocolate
Basically, this
smells and tastes like a healthier Terry’s chocolate orange. YUM!
Blueberry &
Chocolate
I really didn't know
what to expect from this flavour- but I was drawn to the lovely colour
packaging. Surprisingly sweet smell and tastes initially like a Raisin-y Raisin
(?) but after further chewing, I would say this has a Rum & Raisin flavour
to it. If Rum & Raisin is your thing- then this bar is for you!

Every bar has a
layer of Dairy Free chocolate to it, the chocolate is blended with Coconut
Cream (a thought that makes me salivate a little), and comes in a
perfect-for-your-handbag 35g size. I really am a fan of Frank!
