It may look and sound healthy, but are you sure that your snack of choice is actually good for you?
Let’s be honest, probably the only really, truly healthy snack is fresh fruit. But what else is there if you just don’t feel that an apple is going to hit the spot?
You’d probably turn to something that sounds healthy. Perhaps you’d choose a cereal or granola bar, which has pictures of fruit, nuts or swaying ears of wheat on its pack, or maybe to packet of yoghurt-coated raisins or rice cakes?
But just how good for you are these seemingly acceptable alternatives, and how do they make you feel after you have had them? Do they satisfy a craving or just distract you from what you really fancied, and leave you still feeling hungry?
Nasty shocks
If, like us, you think these offerings are wolves in sheep’s clothing, then maybe you can see why we have launched our range of Ador snacks. Perhaps you have been shocked to find just how many calories are actually packed into a tiny cereal bar (127 in a titchy 26g bar), and that the ‘yoghurt’ on the raisins is just a confection of sugar and fat (404 calories per 100g bar). Or you may have discovered that rice cakes are digested so rapidly that they raise your blood sugar only to see it crashing again soon after as if you had eaten biscuits instead.
OK, hands up, Ador chocolate bars are made from the finest Swiss chocolate. But, it’s carefully portion controlled and has the benefit of an added extract of pine nut oil, which has been found to help keep you feeling full. In other words, one 35g bar with 178 calories is enough (rather than wolfing down over 265 calories in a typical 50g bar of milk chocolate).
In fact, people tell us that it is more than enough – even those on Harper’s Bazaar magazine (link). And because it’s so rich and filling, they say that one bar can last all day.
Cereal killers
We also do oat bars. Not tiny little things that won’t touch the sides, but substantial 50g fillers with only 175 calories each – you’d get 254 calories in the same weight of a typical cereal bar. They also come in flavours that actually get your taste buds going (really raspberryish raspberry, delicious prune and ginger and a gorgeous mocha, which is made to have with a skinny cappuccino).
Like our chocolate bars, these tasty oaty treats also have a clever added ingredient. This time it’s an oat and palm oil extract called Fabuless, which again, helps to keep you feeling full.
Guilt-free snacking
So what does all this mean?
Well first, now if all you really fancy is chocolate, you can have it – without feeling guilty. Or if you’re looking for an oat bar that will make you feel full, rather than leaving you craving the rest of the multipack, you can have that too. What’s more, we promise you a wonderful taste experience.
Oh… and we also do sugar-free green tea mints in orange and mint flavours (with no artificial sweeteners) to keep your mouth healthy and feeling great in between meals.
So if you fancy a real snack, grab one of ours. They are delicious, good for you and, above all, honest.

Most likely you have never heard of rebounding? No, it has nothing to do with basketball, but it could improve your ‘ball game! A rebounder is basically a mini trampoline, furthermore, the act of bouncing on one is called rebounding….
Very intriguing. I’m surprised I have not found this blog post before. I will be saving your site. Thank you yet again.

I was just talking with my friend about this last week at the resturant. Don’t know how we landed on the subject really, they brought it up. I do remember having a wonderful chicken salad with cranberries on it. I digress…
Yhanks for your great website! ^^
