Freida\u2019s is a range of 3 different bars which are aimed to support women before, during and after pregnancy. Packed with nutritionally-beneficial ingredients targeted at different stages, the bars aim to be a healthy and convenient snack for women on the go, who want to rest assured that when they get hungry, they\u2019re eating well.<\/h4>\n

\"Freidas<\/p>\n

Especially when you\u2019re pregnant for the first time, what to eat brings up a whole host of confusion and also paranoia. At least for me. I\u2019d got halfway through an Egg\u2019s Benedict before realising that runny eggs are on the \u2018no go\u2019 list (there\u2019s actually been a decision made that if they\u2019ve got the British Lion stamp then they\u2019re safe to eat runny during pregnancy) and I\u2019m still not sure about smoked salmon (so I\u2019ve been eating it). I\u2019ve had to stop myself from ordering pate and have looked on sadly when friends have ordered delicious-looking sushi. Of course, one could say that it\u2019s health and safety gone mad and that if you eat certain foods in moderation and are sure of the quality then you should<\/em> be fine.<\/p>\n

So it is a relief to find a product which you don\u2019t have to worry about; that you can eat without feeling guilty and one which easily fits into a bag. There are 3 bars in total, each containing 9 different superfoods, seeds, nuts or grains. The base for each bars appear very similar \u2013 oats, golden syrup and sunflower oil \u2013 with a different mix of superfood powders, dried fruit, nuts and seeds for each type of bar.<\/p>\n

And here they are:<\/p>\n

\"Freidas

Super Charged – my favourite!<\/p><\/div>\n

Freida\u2019s Fertile Food<\/strong><\/h5>\n

Aimed at pre-pregnancy, using traditional superfoods (maca and goji berries) to support the body\u2019s fertility. This one to me, tastes the most \u2018seedy\u2019.<\/p>\n

Freida\u2019s Super Charged Food<\/strong><\/h5>\n

Aimed at new and busy mums looking for an energy boost. These contain 9 different seeds, nuts and grains, including chia and quinoa. This one\u2019s my favourite \u2013 it has a very faint fennel taste but is also quite sweet due to the raisins and goji berries.  <\/p>\n

Freida\u2019s Feeding Food<\/strong><\/h5>\n

Aimed to support breast-feeding mums. According to the website, it sounds like this bar was the one which triggered the range in the first-place; Sharon, the founder, experienced a traumatic and lost weight dramatically after it. The hospital predicted that as she wasn\u2019t able to eat enough to nourish her body for breast-feeding, recover from the birth OR replenish energy levels that she would have to stay for an indefinite period in hospital to recuperate and her child would have to be formula fed. Not keen for this to happen, her mother visited her in hospital, carrying with her a family-recipe for post-birth nourishment. And astonishingly, within a few days, Sharon was well enough to walk out the hospital, both son and mother happy and healthy. This bar has a rather aniseedy taste, due to the fennel and is the least sweet.<\/p>\n

The recipe has since been adapted for Western tastes, with nutritional expertise drawn from Sarah Wragg, a pregnancy nutritionist. And as you can imagine, you won\u2019t any preservatives or additives to tarnish the nutritional content. Best of all, you don\u2019t need much of a bar to fill you up \u2013 they\u2019re incredibly dense \u2013 so you can save some for later!<\/p>\n

Final Verdict<\/strong><\/h4>\n

My favourite is the Super Charged food bar for two reasons \u2013 the first is that I\u2019m at that stage of pregnancy where it feels most relevant to me and secondly, it satisfies my sweet-tooth cravings. I think the idea of the bars are great and they taste and are, more nutritionally dense than your standard cereal bars \u2013 these are absolutely a league above ( I wouldn\u2019t touch cereal bars with a barge pole). I don\u2019t think they\u2019re at all a meal replacement but should be used to supplement a healthy diet and be on hand for when there\u2019s a hungry moment. I\u2019ve especially discovered that in my first and third trimester, I\u2019ve been extremely hungry between meals so carrying a Super Charged bar in my bag has been a lifesaver against hanger.<\/p>\n
