Advantages: Tasty, chocolatey, filling

Disadvantages: Only 6 in a box !

I actually first tried Nutri-Grain Elevenses about a week ago, as Boots were selling them for just 16p each. I grabbed a few of the Choc Chip Bakes as I don't like Raisins and things so I thought these would be a good compromise. So consequently, my review is going to be of Kellogg's Nutri Grain Elevenses Choc Chip Bakes.

The package of the bar the bar is white and brown, with the Elevenses logo in the bottom left corner of the bar. The flavour is also on the front in white writing. Also, on the side of the packet it has the calories in each bar which is 179 calories (9% of an adult Guideline Daily Allowance). I think this isn't bad considering the bar contains chocolate as well! The back panel of the bar contains information for the Kellogg's Careline, a barcode and the weight of the bar which is 45g. Under the flap there is the Best Before date, which should be a few months in advance giving you plenty of time to eat it! Also, the ingredients and Nutritional Information is under the back flap too.

You can buy the bars in a box of 6 bars for £1.99 which I think is quite good if you have just one a day! That works out at 35p per bar. The box is rectangular with a pull down flap on the front so you can easily access your bars. It has the Kelloggs Name, and Nutri Grain and Elevenses logo on the front, with an appetising picture of the Choc Chip Bake..yummy! In the top right, it has basic nutritional information, good for people watching their calories and fat levels! The back of the box advertises the other bars in the Elevenses range which are Ginger and Raisin, but I haven't tried those yet, The side of the carton has a list of nutritional info, and ingredients. The carton is cardboard, so is therefore recyclable. The bars are wrapped in foil which I don't think is recyclable.

The Bars
The bars are rectangular, approximately 4 inches by 2 1/2 inches. They are of a spongey texture, a bit like a cake. They have a lot of oats on the top of the bar, but they don't overpower the taste of the bar. The main taste you get is the chocolate, and there are a lot of chocolate chips throughout the bar. It is quite moist, and very tasty. The mix of chocolate and oats throughout the bar is very good, and evenly distributed. The bars are not too chewy which is good, but just nice and moist. The bars have a nice chocolately aroma, and smell nice and sweet too. I find the bars to be quite filling despite their size.

The bars are quite healthy, containing 32% of cereals, wheat flour, rolled oats. They also contain niacin, Iron, Vitamins b6 and B12, Riboflavin, Thiamin and Folic Acid, although they are last in the list of ingredients so they must be the smallest proportions in the bar.

Allergy Information: Milk, Soy, Wheat, Oats and Barley. The bars are suitable for Vegetarians.

Overall, I think the bars are very good value for money, very VERY tasty and surprisingly good for you too. My son loves eating a bit one of these too, even though he is only 15 months old (he only has a nibble when I eat one as a treat!)! I like that Kellogg's have changed the outer packaging from foil to Cardboard so that they are better for the environment. Try them, I am sure you'll like them too!

Summary: Yummy cake bars
