My new favourite snack... Nakd Bars (by Natural Balance Foods)


These are my new favourite snack, especially for work, and I love the packaging too! 
I can personally recommend the Gingerbread, Cashew Cookie and Pecan Pie, all suitable for coeliacs and incredibly healthy!! They are brilliant when you need that little boost and want to reach for a biscuit or chocolate! I keep thinking ooh they're a bit expensive (75p for a bar or £2.29 for 4) but then how much is a chocolate bar nowadays! I'm not one for swapping chocolate for a healthy snack bar, but I've become quite addicted to these!
Available from supermarkets in the free from sections and health shops. Enjoy!

Chelmsford: The Griffin


 The Griffin Pub in Danbury, Chelmsford, Essex caters for gluten free-ers well with gluten free bread (not your usual dry tasteless stuff, this is homebaked goodness!! And dipped in olive oil and vinegar.... heaven!!!), pizzas, burgers with buns and desserts. The best thing is they don't make you feel like a nuisance for asking lots of questions and the staff know everything that goes in their food.


Service can be a bit slow during busy periods but it's well worth the wait and you can leave feeling content and full after a good feed!!

Cambridge: Auntie's Tea Shop


Yesterday I enjoyed a gluten free afternoon tea in Cambridge - complete with sandwiches and scones with jam and cream, what a treat!!

Auntie's Tea Room in Cambridge was a great find - right in the city centre they serve all sorts of sandwiches on gf bread, afternoon teas and a delicious looking list of cakes! Perfect for getting your energy up before a bit of retail therapy!
