Leader Natural Food Smoothies and Energy Bars Review

Reviewed by Louise Best

I have to admit to being rather excited when I opened the packaging up to see the Natural Food Smoothies and Energy Bars. The packaging itself was like a breath of fresh air, vibrant and colourful. The smoothies all have clear instructions on how much to put in your drink and how to mix thoroughly.

I tried the all-in-one energy smoothie first which was a blend of many flavours including mango, banana, pineapple, orange and ginger. I found it refreshing, extremely fruity and all together revitalising. I was a little nervous about trying the detox smoothie as it contained a few flavours that I wasn’t particularly keen on like basil, nettle leaf and mint. However, I was pleasantly surprised it tasted really good and I’d definitely have this one again perhaps as an on-the-go lunch.

I must admit out of the three smoothies I have tried from the range I was looking forward to the balance smoothie the most. Filled with all my favourite berries from strawberries, blueberries, raspberries to incaberries. It was nice to find the incaberry in this smoothie as it is quite an exotic fruit, and I’ve never seen it in a smoothie before. This was my favourite smoothie by far from the point of view it has all my favourite berry fruits in and it tasted wonderful.

The all natural energy bars has just as colourful packaging as the smoothies; I thought they were quite bold and the illustrations of the fruits on the wrappers were delightful. With the bars being gluten, wheat and dairy free was an additional bonus; for me it makes these bars much healthier particularly for those who have special diets, allergies or food intolerances.

I tried the apple and cinnamon bar first; the flavouring was strong unlike other energy bars on the market, I could really taste both the apple and the cinnamon. It left its strong flavours on the back on my throat after eating which was lovely. The red berries natural energy bar was just as yummy and I must say they were both very filling too.

I aim to buy both the smoothies and the natural energy bars and enjoy them as part of my diet and I feel that they are a good way to keep healthy and topped up with the essential vitamins we all need. I’d recommend these smoothies and natural energy bars to those looking to incorporate them into a healthy balanced diet or those with special dietary requirements. Overall these are great products and I am looking forward to trying out more flavours.
