If you haven’t heard of @NuGoNutrition then you’re in for a real treat! These gluten free protein bars are rich in flavor, and are very satisfying. They sent us all 3 flavors: Raspberry Truffle, Roasted Peanut, and Brownie Crunch bars to taste-test. Wow! For being low in sugar, these bars are fantastic! I’ve had their NuGo Free bars, which I’ve always enjoyed, but the NuGo Slim Bars seem to taste better to me. Perhaps it is because I’m not a big sugar person. They are made with all natural ingredients. NuGO Slim Bars are made with a natural dietary fiber, chicory root. Then, they dip them in real dark chocolate which contains antioxidants and only adds 2g of sugar, but makes all the difference in the world when it comes to the taste. NuGO Slim is the only low sugar protein bar without artificial sweeteners or sugar alcohols, like maltitol, which can cause gastric distress and and an aftertaste. They are certified gluten-free, Kosher, all-natural, 2g sugar, and high in protein and fiber.
The 3 bars that were sent to us range from 170-190 calories and contain 7 grams of fiber. Sugar amounts are all 2 grams and protein levels are between 15-16.

My fave was the Brownie Crunch, but I also enjoyed the, Raspberry Truffle, which is unusual, as I am not usually a fan of raspberry. My husband is a fan of peanuts, and absolutely loved the Roasted Peanut bar, as well as all of the other flavors.

I just discovered NuGo yesterday at a race expo and was so pleased to find a bar that is Gluten Free with protein and tastes awesome! I have eaten 5 bars thus far and had them pre/post race and were perfect! So glad I found these bars….but would love to sample more flavors other than dark choc pretzel-which is phenomenal!!!!

I would love to try these, I haven’t had them yet
I’m fairly new to the gluten free way of living. It’s been challenging to find good snack bars to replace some favorites that I had. These sound like they’d be just the thing! I’d love to try them out!
I think I am gluten intolerant…every time I eat regular pasta or white bakery bread, I have heartburn I am hoping to buy some gluten free products, and this is a start. Please enter me in your drawing. I will post on my Pinterest when I remember my password.
These are awesome, just tried them today! Please enter me in the drawing!

these are great in the dark chocolate version, I eat them because there is a limited variety of protein bars I can have with all my additional allergies. I would love to win these new slim ones I have not tried them yet.

I am a mother of 3 and a crossfit advocate! My grandpa just recently died of cancer and had a very unhealthy lifestyle. I have a HUGE awareness of food and the effects it has on the human body. I have been eating clean and healthy for 5 years and now I am trying Paleo plans to increase performance doing crossfit. I havn’t been sick in 3 years. I would love to win, so that I can further increase my chances to win the fight against cancer and teach my kids longterm benefits of eating healthy.
I liked NuGo’s facebook page. Sounds like a great honest product. Would love to try.
I have recently gotten custody of my god daughter who has been diagnosed with Celiac. I am looking for “healthier” snacks for her.

The chocolate is, indeed, superb!! It actually melts. I love to get them slightly warmer than room temp to enjoy that fact. The flavor…extraordinary. I could live on them! Dark Chocolate Almond is my new favorite.
