Nature Valley Protein Bars

I keep looking in Poundland. They have other Nature Valley bars in there, just not the protein ones. I live in hope though.
 
Lidl sell them sometimes. There quite a bit cheaper than normal retail price.
 
The peanut and chocolate protein ones are on at our B&M at the moment for £1.49. My daughter has a part time job there and gets 10% staff discount as well. :D

Saw them yesterday & bought some.:D Our B&M had the salted caramel ones too.
 
Sainsbury’s online had them at £1.50 on Sunday so I stocked up!

A new flavour I think, Almond and coconut. Delicous! Picked some up at Tesco for £1.44 a pack.

I found these in Waitrose this morning - they were on offer so I bought two packs. I had one after lunch and very nice it was too! I love the salted caramel one, and this new one makes a nice change.

We don't have a large Tesco nearby, nor Sainsbury, but I'll try Morrisons next time and see if they're there 🙂
 
Less than 10g carb per bar, but your pancakes on the pancake thread are 15g? We need to think carbs, not just sugar.

If you look at the nutritional information they have palm fat which is not good for you & they have fructose & glucose syrup? See link: https://www.naturevalley.co.uk/what-we-make/protein-peanut-chocolate/
These would only be ok for me being type 1 if I was having a hypo! My diabetes nurse would have a fit if she knew I was eating these on a regular basis. I have been told to only eat complex carbs & no refined sugar!
I also have heart disease so I'm not allowed fats other than good fats as found on a mediteranean diet.

It’s about the amount we eat. Please don’t anyone use these to treat a hypo, it won’t work because the fat and fibre in the bar would slow down the treatment and you’d need to eat 3 of them to get the normally recommended amount of carbs to treat a hypo!
 
I was going to say useless as a hypo treatment last night but thought I'd best stay out of it, my DSN and dietician would recommend me to eat these if I could bring myself to so I don't see the problem, I was also told the fats in nuts were healthy and told to eat them so I don't see the problem here either but never mind 🙄 x
 
Yeah, same - I mentioned them to my dietitian and she thought they were great as a snack. And definitely not for hypos.
 
I have been all over here looking for the Proetien ones, I can buy the ordinary Nature Valley bars and I can buy the Alpen on special at 50p a box of 5 bars from the UK. Obviously a bulk purchase of slow moving or redudant stock but I cannot find the Protein ones anywhere. That is annoying.

The only other place I've found them apart from our Waitrose is Amazon - I bought two boxes online when I couldn't get them at the supermarket!
