In my last post I was talking about how summer had come to an end without me realising. With this in mind, last Thursday’s event couldn’t have come at a better time. I was invited by Branded3 to go and celebrate the end of summer at the #CTSummerSundown – an evening organised with Cotton Traders.

Everytime that I have gone to check the date recently and seen that it’s September I have had to do a double take before accepting time after time that my phone isn’t lying to me. Summer is officially over. Since starting work in the real world, I have missed out on the usual 3 month summer holiday I was used to. As a result, my brain keeps forgetting to factor in the fact that June, July and August have passed me by and that we are now moving through the Autumn term with bonfire night and Christmas fast approaching…. Can I put the brakes on life and slow everything down a sec please?! Don’t get me wrong, I love love love this time of year but the idea that time can move so quickly without me realising is kind of scary.
I’m gonna put this out there, I totally love anything chocolate related. So if you can offer me some thing in this category AND tell me it’s actually quite good for me, well you’re on to a winner. When these lovely Nakd bars came through my letter box and I had a little scan of the flavours, you can imagine how happy I was to discover some amazing chocolatey and yummy sounding flavours.
Nakd bars are a great healthy snack option if you’re caught up in the whole ‘gluten free’, ‘dairy free’, ‘raw foods’, ‘vegan’ hype. Not only are they completely guilt free but they are also so tasty.
One of the great things about them is that they are really good at boosting energy. They will give you that mid morning/pre workout energy boost that you need without all the excess sugar. I found that they were really useful during my half marathon training for this reason. If you’re interested in finding out more about energy food, natural balance food have some great ideas to get you started.
Although I thought I would love the chocolate flavoured bars, it turned out that they were not my faves. Cashew cookie and rhubarb and custard were both delicious. Nakd bars are now a regular item on my shopping list and they are perfect for popping in my handbag whenever I need a little energy pick-me-up.
