Hello my snack-loving friends, let’s dive into the world of delicious snacks by Deliciously Ella! This UK-based brand, brought to life by the fabulous Ella Mills, boasts a range of great-tasting healthy treats that’ll have your taste buds do a happy dance!

Now, here’s a tasty nugget of trivia: Ella Mills just so happens to be the granddaughter of Lord Sainsbury, the man behind the Sainsbury supermarket empire. Talk about a delicious family legacy!

Deliciously Ella has a great selection of snacks ranging from oat bars , energy balls, chocolate, veggie chips, trail mixes to granola, and nut butters. All their products are plant-based, gluten-free and made using natural and wholesome ingredients, without any artificial additives or preservatives. This is personally one of my favorite brands as their ingredients are usually simple, without anything artificial added or something you can’t even pronounce. Most importantly, their products actually taste great!

In addition, they’ve also kicked cane sugar to the curb, opting for sweeteners like maple syrup, coconut sugar, date syrup, and brown rice syrup.

Now, in the land of 2018, the original recipe for these oat bars had no rapeseed oil. But a revision came along in 2022, and rapeseed oil made its debut. A bit disappointing, considering rapeseed oil is known to be an inflammatory oil. The bars have become slightly oilier, though the taste remains the same. If only they had stuck to the original recipe!

Apple raisin & cinnamon

This bar is like a hybrid of an oatmeal raisin cookie and a an apple pie.

With each bite is a harmonious burst of raisins and dried apple pieces, perfectly nestled within soft and chewy oats. It’s a tango of flavors, with a cheeky hint of cinnamon that just blends so well together.

For all oatmeal raisin enthusiasts and apple pie aficionados, I’d say that this bar is definitely your snacking soulmate!

Hazelnut, pecan & maple

This little gem is the newest addition to the lineup of six flavors.

Overall, this bar was nice, but let’s just say it didn’t unleash fireworks in my snacking universe. The flavor of maple was subtle, and the nuts were on the softer side, lacking that satisfying crunch we all crave. I’d imagine if those nuts had been toasted separately prior, the crunch factor and the contrast in textures would have made the bar even better in my opinion!

Nontheless, this flavor still tasted great. While it might not have left me starry-eyed, it could be the flavor adventure that sets your taste buds ablaze.

Cacao & almond

For all my chocolate-loving friends, we’ve got a winner on our hands. This bar has definitely sky rocketed to the top of my snacking charts with a confident strut.

This bar is like a symphony of chocolatey goodness. The added cacao nibs and almond pieces impart a delightful contrast of textures with the oats. It’s like a playful dance between chewiness and crunch.

If you’re a chocolate enthusiast, I’d say that this bar definitely satisfies as a chocolatey treat and a perfect pick-me-up snack.
