If you haven’t jumped on the Aldi bandwagon yet, what are you doing?! It’s cheap, easy to shop in and actually good quality. After moving flats I even go out of my way now to still shop there.

All they’ve been missing is a free from section – until now! They’ve trialled gluten free products a couple of times, but this week I noticed a more permenant looking section with spaghetti, coco pops, soups and the most exciting thing I noticed – raw, paleo, fruit and nut bars. They’re from the company called The Foodie Market who make a few other products for Aldi. I’m already a big fan of their chilli rice cakes which are also gluten free.

There are three flavours available – brazil nut and cherry, cashew and date and macadamia and coconut. All contain simply nuts, dried fruit and oil. High in fibre, vegetarian and gluten free. For 39p each!!! 39p. That’s it?!

They’re tasty, pretty filling, nothing groundbreaking they taste like most raw, paleo bars on the market. But, for 39p it puts them miles ahead in my books. The perfect snack.

Also on offer are protein bars for a whopping 49p. I got the berry flavour but they also sell a banana one. Containing 30g’s carbs and 20g’s protein per bar they’re a really tasty snack during the day or pre/post workout.

Just writing this has made me realise I need to go and stock up before everybody hears about these bars.

Good luck hunting them down! Fingers crossed they’re are here to stay.
