Snacking is life. No doubt about that. But, mid-day snacking might ruin your fitness goals. Not anymore! Push out the namkeens and the fried stuff, because the market is flooded with healthy snacking options. Go to any grocery store or an online shopping portal, there are several sections dedicated to healthier snacking options.
Our review this time features a #MadeInIndia brand called Gouri’s. They have a range of healthy and handmade snacks. We reviewed Gouri’s Energy Bites in Belgian Dark Chocolate And Orange flavor for its taste, texture, pricing, and overall experience. It’s a relatively new product in the snacking category and here is our #FirstImpression.

#FirstImpression Of Gouri’s Energy Bites – Belgian Dark Chocolate And Orange

Gouri’s energy bites are expensive and are very heavy on the pocket. It is priced at Rs 550/- for a 200-gram bag.

Nutritional label
Ingredients used – A whole lot of goodness is packed in these mini energy bites through a variety of ingredients. Ingredients include oats, Belgian dark chocolate, invert syrup, orange rind, almonds, dairy fat, raw cane sugar, jumbo oats, sesame, oat bran, and flax seeds. It has no preservatives.
Aroma and appearance- You can instantly smell the orange rind when you open the individual pack. Thin layers of dark chocolate, oats, and seeds and very much visible. The chocolate was a bit melted when we received this product due to the hot weather (which is absolutely normal). The pack mentions to store it in a cool, dry place.
Texture and taste – Chew-chew! These mini bites are chewy and delicious. The chocolate does not overpower the overall flavor of the snack. Each bite is smooth and yummy! We loved the orange rind flavor which wasn’t bitter or stale (like it becomes in a few products). The roughly chopped almonds that sprout up in between add a wonderful texture amidst all the chewiness.
We really appreciate that we could actually TASTE each ingredient individually. Be it the almonds, the flaxseeds, or the oats, each flavor and texture had its own distinct role to play to increase the overall experience of the energy bars. The only negative, if any at all, would be the pricing which was too high for us.
Mishry Rating (On a scale of 0-5) – 4 out of 5 Mishrys for this wonderful product by Gouri’s.
