Harvest Cheweee

Harvest Cheweee Bars

Hands up how many of you get sick of putting chocolate bars into the kids lunchboxes? Who hates cereal bars because they are dry and rabbit foody?

Have you tried Harvest Cheweee bars? They are 'cereal' bars that contain 91 calories AND chocolate !!
The bars are moist and cheweee, not hard and grainy. They are full of wheat and oats so full of wholegrain goodness without you realising it.


Each box contains 9 bars which means one a day for the lunchbox and some to snack on at home as well (cool hey!) or if the kids raid the cupboards you won't have to scream "You'll be hungry tomorrow now!" as you will still have some left.

They are also individually wrapped so keep fresh and can be stored easily.





Harvest Cheweee bars contain:

  • Fibre
  • No Artificial Colours
  • Vitamins and Iron
  • and are from a Nut Free factory

Harvest Cheweee come with Milk chocolate chips, White chocolate chips, Toffee pieces and also Marshmallow.

I personally liked the milk the most, then the white but didn't like the marshmallow as they were quite sweet, I think I still have some lurking at the back of the cupboard so I am presuming Emma didn't like them either. I haven't tried the toffee and so can't comment on that variety.

Anyhow - good source of fibre, low calories, great for a snack .. all good stuff.

Available from all major supermarkets.

Monster Puffs Bars


Monster Puffs - Sugar Puff Bars


On a diet? Eaten too much over the Christmas Break?
I suppose you are snacking on fruit and those 'Only 99 Calories' bars that different snack companies produce.

Tell you what - I'll treat you .... if you are hungry and craving something sweet. gooey, chewy 'and' filling then have a Monster Puffs bar made from Sugar Puffs!

Monster Puffs are only 86 Kcals for the cereal and chocolate bars, 84 Kcals for the cereal and milk bars. That is LESS than the leading 'diet' brands snack bars!!

They are not sickly, the kids love them, hubby doesn't look like a big pansy for eating 'faddy food' and you can pop one in your handbag as a treat for your break.

The best bit is that as they are stuck together with honey that do not get smashed to pieces in your bag or lunchbox .. they stay in one (if a little squashed) piece.

I prefer the milk chocolate drizzled ones to the plain milk variety. The chocolate takes away the 'sugar puffiness' and makes it more like a traditional cereal bar.
So when I get the "I don't fancy breakfast!" whine or if we are running late, I now don't feel guilty about letting Emma eat a cereal bar instead, plus they are a lot easier to eat in the car than a big bowl of Sugar Puffs!!

Available in packs of 4 from all good supermarkets.
Our rating: 10/10 for the chocolate ones, and 9/10 for the plain milk ones.
