NuGo makes a brand of snack bars that are vegan and gluten free. They have a few other products, some of them vegan. There are three flavors: Dark Chocolate Crunch, Dark Chocolate Trail Mix, and Carrot Cake.
Nutrition: Each NuGo bar has 150-170 calories, about 4 grams of fat, 9 grams of protein, 13 grams of sugar, and 4 grams of fiber. For a snack bar, they’re pretty healthy. Only a few meal replacement bars are lower in sugar (Luna Bars), but few are so high in protein for only 150 calories. I had a few weeks in the summer where I ate a bar a day and didn’t feel I’d had too much sugar.
4/5
Taste: The chocolate NuGo bars are quite chocolate-y, and taste delightful when a little melted. In fact, the Carrot Cake tastes much better melted as well. Un-melted, these bars are a bit dry and resemble a trail mix bar. They also taste a bit like the aforementioned Luna Bars, which are sadly not gluten free.
4/5 (but 5/5 melted)
Value: One bar costs around $1.50 at Whole Foods. On their website you can buy 12 bars for $19.00. They aren’t super cheap, but they’re a good value compared to other energy bars.
4/5
Overall: 4/5
NuGo also makes Crispy Cat bars—delicious vegan candy bars.
NuGo is so glad you like our New Line. We also have other vegan and gluten free products that can be found on NuGoNutrition.com. Based on your "taste" catogory I can tell you like chocolate. We are one of the only nutrition bar companies to use REAL Dark Chocolate when enrobing our bars (others use chocolate flavored vegetable fat). This helps to set us apart and make NuGo a delicious real chocolate treat.
