Product Summary
NuGo Protein Bars are designed for the entire family and are made with non-GMO ingredients designed to provide a moderate amount of protein with a low fat count. All bars are coated in real chocolate, which creates a taste appreciated by the majority of the reviewers. NuGo bars do contain a higher sugar count, which is not ideal for anyone watching their sugar intake. However, they do not have any of the sugar alcohols often found in protein bars that are known to cause GI distress in some people.
They are an affordable option that will appeal to a wide variety of people. There are some reports of consumers receiving damaged packaging or stale bars, but the customer service from the company is reportedly top-notch and generally replaces any damaged items.
