I just wanted to let you know that your Nakd bars really worked a treat whilst skiing recently. As I was out all day and pounding the pistes, as a diabetic I had to be careful to maintain my energy levels. Unlike other bars I've tried, I seem to have found the perfect solution in Nakd - my levels were maintained, with no spikes or drops, and they really did fill me up as a snack. It's a shame everyone else started on them too as it meant I could no longer keep them to myself!

I went on your website just to email you to tell you how in love with your food I am! I'm a coeliac and gym lover (and snickers bar lover) and I discovered your raw bars in waitrose and thought I'd give them a go. Not only are they amazing as an after gym snack but they're amazing any time of day!! I'm a bit ashamed to say I ate 7 in one day once when out for a long time.... (that's perhaps a bit many!) and have also bought all the ones in waitrose!!

I have been trying really hard to shop more ethically and... Basically I just can't get enough of you guys!

Over the choice of chocolate and your raw bars... I'd choose you!

Thanks you a thousand times for creating something healthy that I don't feel guilty for buying.

Thank you!!!! (don't tell my kids that they're in the draw!)

Hello!

I just wanted to tell you something about your new Cocoa Mint Bars....

THEY ARE AMAZING AND DELICIOUS AND NUTRITIOUS!!!

Thank you - they are great! Xx Zoe

Hi,
I thought I would send a little message to show my appeciation. My local supermarket at home stocks the berry cheeky nak'd bars which I have been a fan of for a while now. However, upon moving to Bath for university, I discovered that the campus supermarket stocks a variety of the new flavours inluding cashew cookie, gingerbread, cocoa orange and pecan pie....I immediately bought one of each flavour and loved them. However, it was the gingerbread one that really appealed to my taste buds the most. This bar is AMAZING, so moist, flavourful, not to mention totally healthy and nutritious!  To me, it tastes like Christmas in a bar.”

“Just want to say how BRILLIANT it is to be able to go to the supermarket and pick up a gluten free, low sugar, properly healthy AND yummy snack for my son.  THANK YOU!!!”

“I've never sent a consumer feedback email in my life but I just tried the new cocoa mint flavour nakd bar. Holy yummm!! I've been a fan for ages but this is now my firm favourite. It has pushed cocoa orange out of the top spot. “

“Hello to you all,
 
I would like to say just how marvellous your products are. I discovered Trek and Nakd bars just this year and have found them not only delicious but have helped enormously with my attempts to lose a few pounds on the scales. I have not eaten a single chocolate since last Christmas or any crisps or sweets; instead I have one of your bars which is just as delicious as a sweet and of course doing me so much more good!
 
I now take them with me whenever I go riding/ walking and they are a perfect food to carry, satisfies the tum and yummy  to eat.I think them are just PERFECT. Very many congratulations in coming up with such a delicious health food.
 
I lost the 7 lbs I needed to -  despite eating loads of your bars and of course I'm brimming with good health!!”

Hi

i just wanted to write to say I love your Nakd cocoa and orange bars, my sister bought some vegan treats for me and she picked up one your bars. It really is delicious and so healthy. I think they will be my daily treat from now. still cannot believe they are 1 oof 5 a day!!!!

Its great that companies like yours exists, makes food and being vegan fun and easy.

“Dear Nakd Team,

I must say you are in a league of your own with the great quality, tasty and Healthy bars, not to mention customer service and quick despatch and delivery.  Are you real?  Can all folks take a lesson from you on how to do it please?

Thanks for all the great products and customer satisfaction.  All of my family are avid nakd supporters now.  We hope you grow successful but stay great in every way!

Cheers,

Joanne”

“Hi people!

I never ever write to companies to say thanks, but your products and your brand are just so fabulous I felt I had to. I am busy telling all my family and friends about you too.

I only recently discovered that you existed two weeks ago, and have since found my two local stockists and have bought every flavour to try so I can work out what to bulk-buy from you - Berry cheeky and cocoa orange are winning so far! Truly delicious, gluten free, stop me fainting when I've gone too long between meals, and just fun! I have a stash of chocolate mini-bars in my drawer at work, which used to tempt me on an hourly basis, and I barely notice them now as I would prefer your bars to chocolate. Wow and well done!”

Just wanted to say how much I love your flavoured raisins, what a fantastic idea! We have pineapple, orange and lemon flavours in our office today. Wishing your company the best of luck and success in the future!”

Hi Guys,
 
I just thought I'd drop you a line to let you know that whilst I was shopping in Sainsbury's yesterday I came across your product just as I was about to reach for my usual Fruesli bars.  I looked at the packaging and read that that there were no artificial flavourings etc., so I bought a couple of boxes of cocoa loco Nakd bars to try and when I arrived home, decided to put my feet up, have a cuppa and tried one of your bars.   Let me tell you, they are the best fruit bar I have ever tasted and no junk in them to boot !!  Even my husband loved it and he's a very fussy soul !!
 
Well done and thanks a million for bringing out something that you can snack on without eating loads of processed rubbish.
 
From a very happy customer !!
 
Val

I keep recommending them to my athletes I train and they are all massively happy with progress. As they feel the artificial bars from other nutritional companies are more trouble than there worth. They feel the energy from Trek are sustainable and don’t have a big crash.”

I don't email many companies to express my satisfaction but this time felt moved to feedback how delicious these bars are. They taste too good to be good for us : ) Only discovered them this weekend when buying portable snack foods for a 2 day Nordic walking session and my husband & I are both converts. Keep making them, please! Thanks & kind regards

Hello Nakd People, I just bought and ate a pecan pie bar, and a gingerbread bar as I was out and about and didn't stop for lunch. THEY ARE SO DELICIOUS! Since Feb 2009 I have been on a fun-free diet - no wheat, no dairy, no sugar and although I know I am much healthier and have much more energy, I was getting bored. So THANK YOU for taking the time and using your initiative and skills to produce these magnificent bars! I am inspired to try making these myself, but I also know I can take a pre-made wrapped bar which is a treat! I wish you all much success in your food company - sugar has had too much air-time for too long. Ps. I'm going to tell my boys (18 and 16) and all my friends about these!  With all good wishes,
 
Joanna

Hello Nakd lovelies! I just thought I’d drop you a line and tell you that I love your Nakd bars so much and I would eat them all day if I could, yum yum. My partner says yuk to fruit and veg and I have to hide veg in recipes, and make smoothies when possible to keep her alive (I am a veggie so dinner time is always interesting!). I was eating an Apple Pie Nakd bar and she stole a bite from it and it awakened her taste buds. Now we fight over them and I no longer have to sneak fruit into things HOORAH!! She even goes into the local vegan supermarket and buys them! 10 million points for making fruit and yummy stuff taste so good to even the fussiest of (weird) eaters. You never had to convince me by the way- I loved them as soon as I saw them on the shelves. I heart you lots.
 
Love Emma xxxxxxxx

I don’t think I have ever written to a company to say I like something but I just ate one of your Cashew Cookie Nakd bars and it was one of the yummiest things ever!!!! I already ordered one of the Uber pressie boxes yesterday so I can try all the flavours. Also great to see they are made in Wales. Keep up the good work =)

Found your amusing note in the recent consignment that I had delivered and just had to drop you an e-mail to say thanks for the freebies with the order and for the really rapid dispatch.  I love the Nakd Bars and I've got my family are hooked on them (they weren't all for me, although I would scoff the lot given the opportunity). The fact that they've got no additives and they're made in Wales just makes it even better!!  I only wish that schools would put them in vending machines instead of the usual rubbish. Please pass on my thanks to the other pixies in the Treehouse. Best wishes.

I used to eat the berry cheeky bar and it was my favourite but because oat (gluten) doesn't really agree with me I haven’t eaten them for a long time. Later on I also tasted the banana bar and that was gorgeous too because I am mad about bananas. Then few weeks ago I went shopping in Tesco and I saw they were selling your new gluten free bars, I bought both of them to taste and I tasted the Cocoa Orange first. It was gorgeous, heavenly, beautiful bar and I enjoyed it very much. I don't know if you have ever tasted Terry's Chocolate orange and your Cocoa Orange bar tasted like Terry's chocolate orange (this is a compliment even it is naughty chocolate). After that I tasted the Cashew Cookie and it was good too, they both tasted great!!

So today I got your parcel and of course because I hadn't yet tasted your other two new flavours I was very eager to taste them. Pecan Pie - again very tasty and gorgeous flavours but again my mind was blown away by the Ginger Bread bar!!! Absolutely GORGEOUS and heavenly! It tastes just like ginger bread. I am originally from Finland and ginger bread in Christmas time is even bigger must than in England. And now I can get it in raw and healthy snack :-) . I also ordered your flavoury raisins and the only flavour I have had time to taste was the pineapple - very nice! Again I like pineapple and can't wait to taste other flavours. I am glad you have great ideas and you bring new goodies on the market, especially because they are so healthy too!

After all I am very happy with your service and you’re Goodies, very tasteful!!

I just wanted to contact you to let you know just how much we love your products.  We became aware of Nakd bars last year whilst visiting our local Tesco.  As we live in the Highlands of Scotland, we have few choices shopping-wise and were delighted to try a new, healthy product.  After tasting your bars we have become addicted.  They are always on our shopping list and we regularly drive 25 mins to the closest healthfood shop to stock up for the week. My biggest thank you is for the person who had the forethought and drive to come up with a product so needed.  We are vegetarians and definitely NOT sweet eaters.  We have a 7 year old son who simply cannot abide sweets due to both hyperactivity AND feeling sick when he has too much sugar.  Your bars allow him to have lovely sweet treats AND get a bit of goodness in him.  He is actually proud of himself when he eats one as he knows it counts towards his 5 a day. I just wanted you to know that we are very impressed with your product AND with the thought that goes into the packaging.  We suggest your product to everyone we can and we hope that your company grows strong.  Keep up the good work and we look forward to tasting all of your new creations.  We are hopeful to find some of your raisins up here soon as the wee man says he doesn't like raisins, I suspect he might if they tasted like cherries, ha ha!  Well done you lot!

Hi all, I’ve only just had chance to read the March newsletter proper – really good news all of it. I’m so glad that Nakd bars are leading the way still in the snack bar world. They really are a world leader. I tell everyone about them and give them away as prezzies all the time. Usually anything that tastes that good is not good for you, so it’s a double (triple) pleasure to eat Nakd!! I know I’ve told you this many times before but I thought you might like to know again! Thank you for keeping me healthy!

Steph

Hi! Just wanted to say how much I love your Nakd bars. As someone interested in the raw food lifestyle I sometimes struggle to find tasty treats but these are great; nutritious AND delicious. I'm pretty much addicted to them and have them almost everyday. I even got my friends into them which is quite an achievement seeing as they hate "health food".

Just wanted to say what a fantastic, tasty and ethically sound product you are distributing! I was so happy with my order that that I told all my friends even the boys who are usually first to refuse my 'fruit pushing'. We've had colourful debates on whether the cherry raisins are from outer space as well as discussions on cutting down all chocolate in favour of the yummy cashew cookie bars! They went down so well with work colleagues and friends that I've ended up giving away most of my stash, so I've ordered again and won't tell a soul! lol

Hello! Just to say how pleased I am that I found your products. I’m a gluten, dairy and soya free person (not by choice) and find it really hard to find nice sweet treats and snacks, especially ones that aren’t filled full of rubbish.  I tried your cashew nut and cocoa orange bars in Tesco a few days ago and I’m just delighted at how delicious and wholesome they are! You’re clever people! Thank you for making my day.

Dear Natural Balance Foods, I just wanted to say how happy I am to find your products, in particular the Nakd bars.  I used to get Larabars from the US, however Larabars are enormous and high in calories - a 51g bar comes in at 236 calories.  Your 35g of fruit and nut bars are much better - lower in cals, better value and yummy. I shall certainly be recommending you to friends, because the products are terrific and you are very competitive on price too - I used to pay pounds and pounds in postage which really put me off ordering, but I've already ordered twice from you this year.
Thanks so much!

Hi There, I just wanted to drop you a line to say WOW, I think Nakd bars are my new favourite thing in the world... ever. What an absolutely wonderful idea, and what a fantastic website and customer service. I ordered the sample pack last week and everything from the packaging, to the lovely note and freebie - through to the bee sticker (which is now adorning my phone, as my name is Bee!) was so inclusive and thoughtfully done. So many companies nowadays never make the customer feel welcomed or appreciated, so I think it makes you really stand out and also makes me super eager to spread the word to others so that they can receive the same goodies and good feeling. I have already passed the link among my company (100 people!) and many of them are planning their orders and I will also be singing your praises across my blog, twitter, facebook etc. Thanks again for the lovely buying and eating experience. The bars are so delicious that I simply can’t believe they aren’t naughty. Suddenly that summer bikini body doesn’t seem to far off..!

Hi, Just had to let you know that I tried a cashew cookie bar this morning...oh my GOD it was divine, so much so it moved me to write to you from work. Nakd bars have seen me and my best friend through pregnancy, birth, work, coping with three kids on my own, losing weight but still needing sweet things.....I could go on. Thank you for making such gorgeous raw bars! Yum yum

Hello,

The Nakd Cocoa Orange is genius as far as I'm concerned.

Since September last year I've managed to loose 2 stone in weight and have relied heavily on the Trek, Nakd and Nakd Nibbles bars to do so as I have done this by cutting sugar out of my diet as much as possible. All of the Nakd Nibbles are gorgeous but the Cocoa Orange one is in a league of it's own!

Good luck with your new creations!

Hello Nakd people, I had the Apple Pie Nakd bar the other day and thought I'd died and gone to heaven. I haven't shut up about it to my friends and family. It was so delicious and I can't wait to try your other products. Keep up the good work.

Hey all at Nakd! I just had a packet of your cherry infused raisins and they were so good I thought I’d just drop you a line quickly and let you know how good they were! I first tried them on a stand at a vegan fair in Bristol, but I bought a packet for myself from a Holland and Barrett on Saturday. They’re even better than I remembered. I’m not sure about trying the pineapple ones, pineapple isn't really my thing, but I just adore the cherry ones! I’ve had your apple bars before which are equally delicious :) anyway, just wanted to know how much I love your products :) even the little "let's make beautiful raisins together" cartoon made me smile. Keep up the good work!

I just wanted to let you know that I have popped a post on the MS Society forum regarding your products. My sister introduced me to your products and I am so excited.  Since I had a brush with possible MS in 2008/2009 and as we both suffer from Candida, we have made some dramatic changes to ours diets in an attempt to stay healthy. Your products have allowed us to snack in a much healthier way.  The Trek bars are fantastic as I regularly work out in the gym so protein is essential for me and I love the small Nakd Bars & Nibbles for daytime snacks.  My other half finds the small Nakd Bars and Nakd Nibbles are good for cycling as they have slow release energy ... plus you guys are in Wales - bonus! I hope 2010 brings continued success, keep up the good work guys.

Just wanted to write and tell you how fantastic I think your Nakd bars are. Having read about them in Cook Vegetarian magazine, I ordered a 4 bar sampler. Tried the Cocoa Orange bar first - YUM! I have to say, I didn't really expect much but boy was I pleasantly surprised! I love that they provide 1 of your 5 a day while being tasty, healthy and filling. Couldn't resist having another bar tonight - this time the Ginger Bread, which was also delicious. I look forward to sampling the Cashew Cookie and Pecan Pie bars tomorrow! I will definitely be stocking up on these bars. I was already a fan of the Nakd raisins but didn't realise you made bars too. Overall, 10/10! Keep up the good work.

Hello Natural Balance Foods,

I am vegan and have just tried your raw fruit, nut and oat bar…all I can say is that they are very delicious and I love them! That coupled with the Animal Aid support, and the fact that you are an ethically conscious British company makes you my new friend!

Tracy Steel

_______________________________________________________________

I NEVER feel the need to tell anyone that I like their products.  But last night I took delivery of some of your new Nakd GF bars and tried both the Gingerbread and the Cocoa Orange.  It was all I could do not to immediately devour the Cashew Cookie and Pecan Pie just to see if they were as good.  I can honestly say that both the bars I tried tasted just as good as any cake or chocolate without all the added nasties.  I am now a huge fan and will definitely be buying more!!

I just wanted to drop you guys a line to say how much I love your cocoa loco bars. I've been pretty much addicted for a couple of years now - and eat them every day. Of all the health bars, they're the tastiest, with the lowest number of calories and fat (always an important factor). I've even got my boyfriend and workmates addicted - we eat them by the box full! I'm just back from the health store with a new batch, and just thought I'd drop you a line to congratulate you on concocting the perfect health bar :).

Dear Natural Balance Foods,
I bought a couple of your bars in the shop last week (Marqt here in Amsterdam just around the corner from where I live) and just tried one now. I can't believe how yummy it was. I'll be buying more.
Thank you for making a great product. Keep up the good work in Wales.

Big thankyou. I won a box of the bars and raisins and I’ve got hooked. It’s certainly addictive but not only do they taste fab they are helping my weight as I’m using the big bars, the small bars as a special treat and the raisins as a snack. I’m 54 and never had an addiction before!

Just to let you know that it was really lovely to receive the Nakd Bars in the post, I was having a bad day but they bought a smile to my face! It was my first ever order with you and they arrived on Saturday less than 48 hours after I placed the order on Thursday. I loved the wording on all the packaging - including the paper bag - and the freebie and accompanying 'Freebie Alert' were delightful! The bars were delicious (I think I have now got my Mum hooked on them too). I am so impressed that I have already placed another order today and I am very much looking forward to receiving them!

Just wanted to send a quick note to say thank you so much for making such wonderful, delicious and healthy munchies :o) Nakd food Rocks!!!!
I'm eating a Nakd Pecan Pie right now (I have a Nakd bar every morning) I just love them!!! YUM!
Please keep doing exactly what you do best! And keep experimenting with all the fabulous natural flavours and combinations (and if you ever need one - I would love to volunteer to be your official food taster!)
 
Keep up the excellent work!

Nakd bars are sensational! They are made from whole fruit and nuts and little or nothing else! No added nonsense and most of their flavours are 100% raw. No snack food comes close to them, don’t be fooled by other cereal and “health” bars, which are just more processed junk food products packaged differently. I break up a coco loco bar in with my muesli which goes incredibly with banana! And their new Cashew Cookie bars are like eating euphoria. The snack food problem is solved, eat nakd!"

“I`ve been buying Nakd and Trek bars for quite some time now; they had great appeal to me once that I’d scrutinised their ingredients and realised that they could have potentially amazing health properties. I find that the raw food bars you produce are a helpful addition to my diet; they provide and sustain energy levels effectively.  Also, for my sensitive system, they are also fairly easy to digest.  I’m adhering to a vegan diet and it is not always easy to find vegan food outlets.  Under these circumstances, it is a comforting thought that a Nakd, or Trek bar is in my bag - always carry a Nakd, or Trek bar!  Wishing you all the best, Matthew.”
