Organic and Fair Trade Wholefood Snack Bars by Geobar.

The Amazing Blog are big believers in supporting fair trade farmers and we all jump at any opportunity to try a new fair trade snack whenever we can. So discovering Geobars fair trade wholefood snack bars has made our week. Their bars are filled with organic ingredients farmed from all over the world including Cocoa from Ghana, Raisins from South Africa, Cashews from India and Walnuts from Pakistan. The Amazing Blog tried the Carrot and Ginger, Apple and Kale and Cocoa and Beetroot bars.

These delicious fruit, oat and nut bars use ingredients from trusted suppliers to ensure they stay fair trade, they're also high in fibre and contain no added sugar. The Carrot and Ginger bar is made mainly from oats, raisins and dates, with the flavours of carrot and ginger to add a hint of spice. The Apple and Kale bar contains dried apple, dates and cashew nuts, with the kale balancing out the zesty apple flavour. The Cocoa and Beetroot bar is made with a similar combination of oats, raisins and dates, but includes both cocoa powder and nibs. We think these bars make for a delicious snack choice while maintaining a healthy diet and supporting fair trade. All the bars are suitable for vegan diets.

They are available to purchase from Ethicalsuperstore.com and Traidcraft for £1.40 per bar (40g) or £26 for a pack of 20.

Enjoy a Healthy Snack this Summer with Inspiral Kale Chips

Sometimes during the day, you just want a little snack. We here at The Amazing Blog generally like to have a light snack at work; something to keep us full and refreshed for a day at the office. I, myself love greens. I must say a big salad generally puts an even bigger smile on my face, especially if it includes kale. It is a leaf-ey green that some of you are probably familiar with, most times seen in the cooked form. Did you know that kale is the most nutrient dense food on Earth? We knew it was good, but now that we officially know just how much, lets get on to the delicious snack we tried from a company called InSpiral, which specialises in creating delicious, raw food.

The Inspiral Kale Chips are truly a vision in the world of snacks. They are dried instead of baked, so they retain all of the nutritious value kale offers us. It acts as an anti-inflammatory, which is great for anyone who suffers from an ailment like arthritis. The green leaf works to activate de-toxifying enzymes in our livers. It is also packed full of Vitamin A, Vitamin C, Iron, Magnesium, Amino Acid, Folic Acid, and Omegas 3 and 6. Best part about it? The Kale Chips taste great!  They are available in five great flavours: Cacao & Cinnamon, Beetroot Baobab & Lime, Yuzu Sesame, Cheesie Purple Corn, and Wasabi Wheatgrass. There are perfect options for anyone craving a sweet or savoury (and healthy) snack! Delicious and Crunchy, they are sure to provide a new alternative to soothe your snack craving.

Now, you may be wondering, where can I purchase these yummy Kale Chips?
