Nestle Oats & More Cereal Bars

Since I have had to provide my own lunch at work for the last year, I have experimented with different things to take with me in my lunch box. One thing that remains a stapole of my box are cereal bars as, if I don't have time to stop, these are a quick snack, supposedly healthy-ish, which can keep me going till I do get 5 minutes to wolf down a sandwich. I have tried several varieties, all of which share the advantage of being able to be eaten on the move, but had never tried Oats N More until recently in my generic supermarket I saw new cherry flavoured bars..... Now I quite like cherries, well I say that- I am not keen on the fruit per se but I do enjoy the ...  Read the complete review

I only purchased this four bar pack from Tesco Online because it was on an attractive special offer, reduced from £1.75 to £1.00. The chocolate and strawberry flavours were included in the offer but I opted for the cherry because it's new and I have a love for most cherry flavoured foodstuffs. ***Packaging*** The first thing that struck me was the excess packaging. The bars are much smaller than I expected just 8.5cms length by 3cms width. Each is individually wrapped in foil and these wrappings exceed the length of the bar by four centimetres.

I bought these strawberry flavour Oats & More cereal bars from Tesco recently as they were reduced in price to £1 for a box of four. I find cereal bars useful to keep in the cupboard as they are generally sweet enough to make me feel like I'm being naughty, yet are low enough in calories to snack on them without ruining my diet. These bars are made with oats which have been compressed into a long block, Nestle have added strawberry pieces to this bar although I believe you can buy other fruity flavours in this range. I'm actually in two minds as to whether I like it or not, the taste is great as the bar is a pleasant strawberry flavour which I ...  Read the complete review

The picture shown is for the strawberry ones, I am reviewing the chocolate ones. I bought a pack of 4 individually wrapped 30g bars for around £1.70 this week from Tesco.
