Vive Better Brownie Variety Pack with Immunity Vitamins - Low Calorie Vegan Treat - Healthy Protein Snack - Pack of 4

I've been trying out a range of different vegan protein/snack options lately and so got this variety pack to try out this brand for the first time.At a slightly discounted price, I paid £5 for 4 bars, which for vegan bars is pretty reasonable and competitively priced compared to other options I've seen. There were 4 different flavours:- Chocolate orange- Coconut cashew- Chocolate berry- Cherry bakewellOf the four, the cherry bakewell was my favourite as I've always liked this flavour and it's nice to find a vegan brand that has this variety! Overall I enjoyed all four flavours a lot and they have a good sweetness without being sickly, and they have a slightly crunchy but soft texture which went down well.Nutritional content and ingredient wise, the primary ingredient in all four is cashews, and they also contain almonds, dates, soy and pea proteins, all good plant-based ingredients, bonus that these are all natural and gluten-free, but obviously anyone with allergies to nuts or soy would need to look elsewhere.Luckily this isn't a problem for me and I'm a big fan of the ingredients, flavourings and protein choices here.Nutritionally, I like that there are added minerals and vitamins here, as advertised on the packaging.They average about 150 calories a bar which makes them a decent snack choice. Fat content at an average 8g is good, and as the majority of these fats will come from the cashews and almonds, they are healthy fats overall. Carb content is highest at 11g each which makes them good for an energy boost before a workout or during a mid-day slump!Protein and fibre content is around 5.5g average, which makes these less ideal for those looking for a high protein diet, but the fibre is a good for keeping you 'regular!'Sugar at around 8.6g a bar is fair, about what I'd expect from a snack bar like this, especially as it's more of a 'treat' snack. Salt content is low and standard for this kind of food.Overall, I really enjoyed these bars and would purchase again.Pros:- Good flavours- Nice variety in the 4 different types- Vegan, natural ingredients, especially if you like cashew and almond based foods- Gluten free- Pretty balanced nutritional content, good for energy boost, would work well for pre-cardioCons:- Won't suit people with nut or soy allergies- Won't suit people needing high protein content

Loved all of them except the cherry Bakewell which surprised me as I thought it would be my favourite! The other three flavours are gorgeous though, the texture is really good and they're also quite filling.

I have bought this item many times because I want a healthier treat for myself and my family members, rather than other chocolate and snack bars that can be extremely sweet. My non-vegan family members find them tasty and enjoy them as though they don't notice a difference in taste or quality. Coating them in chocolate is great for those who enjoy it. Sometimes I enjoy them a bit too much! But I am glad I found this brand as I don't see them on the high street and they are the tastiest no-added sugar chocolate bars I have found anywhere.

These are a decent portable snack for when you're on the go. Maybe could have got a couple more in the box for the price.They are all gooey and chewy with a soft choc coating. All enjoyable, but there's no real pop with the flavours. Coconut was more of a texture than flavour and the fruit ones didn't really have any pop to the flavour. It was there, but not much. Would like more pieces of fruit in the mix, I think that'd help.Overall they are OK, but not something I'd rave about. My biggest issue was the variance in size. Some were really packed in and others felt half full.

Lovely flavours and nice and soft ish chewy however I don’t like the big chunks of nuts throughout the bars. I don’t have a problem with nuts but I would like the bars to be smooth all the ways through for a better texture.

Oh my gosh! The cherry Bakewell is my absolute fave, it was amazing and filling, apart from a huge almond at the bottom. I would highly recommend this product, the taster pack is definitely the way to go.

Starting off with the good, the ingredients, or rather lack of them are great, and both the cherry bakewell and chocolate berry taste decent. However, I just can't justify £1.50 for a 35g brownie (4 pack) or even £1.20 (12 pack), especially when you can find them <£1 elsewhere.

These are really tasty, nice as a snack when flagging in the afternoon with a cuppa and the best thing- they are vegan!
