The BL bars are lovely. You need to shop around though, I bought some on Approved Foods for 55p each compared to £1.50/£2 in the shops

Thanks ladies

Starlight thats funny because I just found this , is that for 1 bar or 4 , seems a bit confusing

I'm not 100% but I don't think they're the ones? They say snack bars, not meal replacement. I could be wrong though .

It's for 4 Phoenix (ie the box) but they're not meal replacement products.

These are the MRP bars:

Biggest Loser Choc Mint Fudge Snack Bar 55g | Approved Food

It says snack bar but the mint ones are meal replacements and if you look at the packaging you can see that it says that. Try one first from the shops though as the BL bars are not the same as the S&S bars and you may not like them. The cals and carb are higher too so you may wish to consider that too. I like the Tesco Ultraslim bars (I've had the choc ones) but again, more calories than the S&S ones so I don't have them that often.

The Tesco ones are lovely and a bit bigger if you have something to get though, I have one sometimes while doing the kids' tea! Come in boxes of 3, and are 3 for 2 at the moment so £5 for 9 bars!

Biggest Loser can only be the meal replacement ones and are very, very chewy in comparison to S&S! I've tried the mint fudge, berry fudge and choc crunch and I have the breakfast one to try this week. But they work out more expensive than S&S. Good for a change or if you have nothing with you and are near a Tesco!

Someone mentioned that Celebrity Slim ones are similar but they are very dea, like £2.69 each or something. But no one has confirmed if they are the same as S&S or Exante so I have yet to try. I should take the contents list and compare but I never remember! Available at Superdrug so really useful if desperate!

 

[BordersGirl]

Yes, the BL ones are definitely more chewy but they last longer than the S&S ones. I like the mint ones but I haven't tried the berry or the breakfast ones. Someone on here said that the breakfast one is like chewing on cardboard so maybe just get 1 to try .

The breakfast ones are absolutely gorgeous. Loads tastier than the others

Hi. I received s&s samples yesterday even tho I'm doing CD. Is the lemon yogurt and white chocolate bar as good as it sounds? X

 

[MiniMoosh]

It's very nice. Small but perfectly formed!

I prefer the choc truffa bar but the lemon white choc one is ok

i wish they still had the banana bars , liked them and they were bigger
