Great Reviews of NuGo REAL Dark Chocolate Protein Bars

Wednesday, November 2nd, 2011

We love reading and sharing great reviews of NuGo REAL Dark Chocolate protein bars. Here is a sampling of some recent reviews of NuGo Dark, NuGO FREE, NuGO Organic, and NuGO Slim. The first two reviews are from bloggers who found very creative and funny ways to declare their love for NuGo.

Funny Reviews:

Chocolate Covered Diamonds

Thanks to NuGo I have taken one small step away from processed foods and one giant step towards leading a healthy lifestyle. I leave you with this…

We started out as friends, but quickly became lovers

A naturally protein-packed bar with a physique like no other

You leave me wanting more after about a quarter to four

I indulge willingly because you’re never a bore

A moment on the lips is a lifetime on the hips

Doesn’t apply here because you are perfect bliss!

I’m in love… …with a protein bar. 

Yeah, I said it. I think I’ve found true love in a cute little chocolate, crispy protein bar. Why, you ask? What hath made my adoration so sweet? Here’s the top five reasons the NuGo Free Protein Bar is my new favorite hobby:”

NuGo Dark:

KosherEye Product Pick of the Week

NuGo is one of our favorite finds from the summer Fancy Food Show. In addition to their nutritional benefits, the bars taste delicious and are made with real dark chocolate. NuGo offers a large variety of kosher nutrition bars in numerous flavors and with various benefits, but we especially like the dark chocolate line because they are OU parve (dairy–free).

Healthy, Happy, Whole

The Dark Chocolate Pretzel is literally like heaven in a wrapper. In fact, any flavor I have tried has been fabulous

NuGO FREE:

NuGO FREE Dark Chocolate Trail MixGluten-Free Mike

It was an interesting mix of rice protein crisps, brown rice, cranberries, pumpkin seeds, flax seeds and walnuts. As if that was not enough throw in a coating of rich dark chocolate and you have granola bar kismet. The bar is just sweet enough to satiate your sweet tooth without being too sugary and the seeds and nuts are the perfect contrast to the chocolate coating.”

NuGO Organic:

Mama on a Green Mission

The NuGo Organic Bars are not only organic, but they are Vegan. They are the only protein bars made with REAL dark chocolate instead of chocolate flavored vegetable fat that can raise your bad cholesterol (LDL). The REAL dark chocolate in NuGo’s Organic bars is a natural antioxidant that actually has health benefits such as reducing bad cholesterol (LDL) and increasing good cholesterol (HDL). Don’t you just love it when there is a good reason to eat chocolate? I absolutely loved the Double Dark Chocolate bar!

NuGO Slim:

Mama on a Green Mission

I was really curious at what these bars would taste like because it seems most “slim” products I have tried aren’t the tastiest in the world. The slogan on the wrapper reads “Getting slim is now something you and your stomach can both agree on.” I think that’s such a cute slogan and you know what? It’s true! These bars are REALLY good! I preferred the Roasted Peanut bar more than the Brownie, but neither one tasted like “diet” bars! They each contain only 190 calories and 2 grams of sugar!

National Foundation for Celiac Awareness (NFCA) Newsletter

“I especially liked the raspberry flavor, which was sweet, but had a touch of bitterness – almost like a wine and chocolate pairing. The texture is neither crunchy nor chewy, but somewhere in between. The Brownie Crunch has a particularly fudgy element, which makes it decadent but still reasonable at 180 calories. Best of all, each bar contains 15g of protein and 9g of fiber, so it’ll tide your sweet tooth over for a while.”

Shosh and the City

I love that these have a high amount of fiber, and protein, but don’t have a lot of other junk – and are coated in real dark chocolate. Love! I’ll definitely be ordering more!

The Candy Fan

The dark chocolate really is a nice touch on this very lightly sweetened bar. And there was no funky aftertaste that usually accompanies things containing artificial sweeteners. I really liked this bar. It was light and crunchy and perfect for my needs. And best of all: no headache! I’d really like to try the other varieties and I was super sad when I finished it and knew I had no more of them at hand.

NuGO Slim: The First Almost Sugar-Free Protein Bar Without Maltitol or Artificial Sweeteners

Monday, August 29th, 2011

NuGO SLIM Roasted PeanutWe 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.

Look at these great features of NuGO Slim:
• Almost Sugar-Free (2 grams of sugar)
• High Protein (15 grams)
• High Fiber (9 grams)
• 180 Calories
• All Natural
• No Maltitol or Artificial Sweeteners
• No High Fructose Corn Syrup, Hydrogenated Oils, or Trans Fats
• Low Glycemic
• Diabetic-Friendly
• Certified Gluten-Free
