We are very excited to announce NuGO Slim, the first almost sugar-free high protein bar made without maltitol or artificial sweeteners! NuGO Slim bars are certified gluten-free, diabetic-friendly, and high in both protein and fiber. Goodness comes naturally with only 2 grams of sugar from REAL Dark Chocolate and chicory root, a natural dietary fiber.

Artificial sweeteners and sugar alcohols, like maltitol, typically found in low-sugar and sugar-free bars, can cause gastric distress such as bloating, stomach cramps, and other pain. While other sugar-free bars use fake chocolate-flavored palm oil coatings sweetened with maltitol, NuGo Nutrition uses REAL Dark Chocolate as the coating on NuGO Slim to produce a truly delicious bar with no bad aftertaste!

Whether you are looking to lose weight or maintain your current weight, you will enjoy the three delicious flavors: Brownie Crunch, Roasted Peanut, and Raspberry Truffle. Brownie Crunch and Roasted Peanut are available in select stores and can be ordered online now. In October, Raspberry Truffle will be available for purchase as well as a sample pack featuring all three flavors.

• Almost Sugar-Free (2 grams of sugar)

Sugar alcohols, including maltitol and sorbitol, are some of the many causes of bloating shared by nutritionist Joy Bauer on the Today Show. Sugar alcohols are found in many sugar-free foods. Here is a quote from Joy’s website about sugar alcohols.

“Secondly, sugar alcohols, another class of sugar substitutes that includes sorbitol, maltitol, and mannitol, are common IBS triggers. If sugar alcohols cause you digestive discomfort, steer clear of all food, drinks, candy, and gum that contain them.”
