Today I realized I was running out of Nakd bars that were "soya crunchies" free. I have been eating these bars a lot this week because I didn't have time to make my own and they have been a lifesaver! However I was trying to avoid the "soya crunchies" which are contained in all the "crunch" bars. I will never starve myself intentionally so I grabbed two bars for my morning snack on the go. When it came time to eat the crunch bar, I realized the package actually does list what is included in the soya crunchies: soya (soybean), tapioca starch, and salt. Tapioca starch totally sounds like one of those added sugar in disguise type ingredients so I looked it up and as far as I can tell that is not the case. I'm not a big fan of soy and try not to get too much in my livet, but I really haven't been getting much of it lately so I didn't feel too bad taking that in. And finally salt, I am prone to under-salting and since most of my food doesn't contain it I figured a little wouldn't hurt.
I ate the Nakd Banana Protein Crunch Bar which was okay but the flavor was kind of odd. However I had finally convinced myself that I could eat the rest of the bars without feeling guilty. When I checked my email at lunch, I saw that Nakd had finally responded! What timing!!
The protein crispies are manufactured by cooker extrusion, and hot air dried to a stable moisture content. They are made using soya protein isolate (non-GMO), tapioca starch and salt.”
They also offered to send me a sampler pack! Hey I'm getting low so why not? Later in the day I tried the Nakd Strawberry Crunch Bar (yes, I had 3 bars today - my lunch really wasn't filling enough) and it was sooooo delicious! I'm starting to see the value in paying full price for a few of my favorite flavors to keep on hand for emergencies.
