NuGoFree Dark Vegan 9g rice protein bar, Probiotics, Gluten Free, Soy Free, Dark Chocolate Crunch, 1.59-Ounce Bars (Pack of 12)

When you can't eat cashews (allergy), oats, corn, or animal products... where do you turn for a quick snack bar? Well NuGo answered. The majority of this bar is rice, which is just fine. There is a bit of sugar though, but it's not super sweet. Basically it's rice, vegan chocolate, sweeteners, and then a few seeds and a touch of oil, salt and cranberries. The ingredients:Rice Protein Crisp (Rice Protein Concentrate and Rice Flour), Crisp Rice (Rice Flour), Semi Sweet Dark Chocolate (Sugar, Unsweetened Chocolate, Cocoa Butter), Crystalline Fructose, Almonds, Tapioca Syrup, Brown Rice Syrup, Organic Agave Syrup, Chicory Root Fiber, Cranberries (Sugar), Rice Protein, Pumpkin Seeds, Flaxseed, Water, Organic Acacia Gum, Flaxseed Oil, Natural Flavors, Baking Soda (Sodium Bicarbonate), Salt, Walnuts.160 calories5g fat27g Carbohydrate4g Fiber13g Sugar9g ProteinNot bad for a between meal snack. And the price is right on Amazon. Cheaper than Whole Foods and they are fresh, not old boxes (like some of the bars I've bought from Amazon). Prime shipping also.I also recommend LaraBars for an even more stripped down and wholesome bar (though many have cashews...). The carrot cake and the chocolate chip brownie LaraBars are amazing!

I am a person with celiac who lives to eat....and these bars are more for people who eat to live.To say they lack flavor would be a lie. Plenty of flavor, but these are to the point of too much chicory root, earthiness, and spice flavors, not enough of the right flavor, and all around flavor that doesn't leave you wanting more.I am huge fan of NuGo FREE Bars. Please don't judge all the other types by this one.NuGo Free Dark Chocoalte Trail Mix is top-notch and the NuGo Free Dark Chocolate Crunch is a safe bet without large chunks found in the Trail MIx option (if the bars are for a child).The box comes with 12.....after 2 weeks 11.5 still remain.

I have a few food sensitivities so it's hard to find products with an ingredient list I'm willing to eat. These are a good protein boost and the flavor is good.

I lovingly refer to these as my Chocolate Dirt Bars. In all honesty, they taste like stale Rice Crispies held together with dirt and coated in fake chocolate. I took one bite of the first bar and set the rest aside at first, it was awful.I am not gluten intolerant, but I bought these because (as a nearly-vegan) I get enough Soy already and wanted to vary my protein sources. I liked that these are dairy- and soy-free, it didn't really matter to me that they are also gluten-free. I bet if I had to eat a totally gluten-free diet, these wouldn't taste as bad.That being said, I would still order these again. After choking down a few bars (hey, I'm not going to let a $15 box of anything go to waste) I got used to the taste. I can't say I *like* them, per se, but they make the perfect dieting nighttime snack. One of these and a glass of almond milk before bed keeps me satiated enough not to run for the cookies at 2am. And, again, they help me vary my protein sources.If you're not on a diet, and you don't have gluten sensitivities, you should probably pass on these. If you're good at *learning* to like foods that are good for you, these may be up your alley.

To find a gluten free, dairy free, soy free, nut free bar that tastes even remotely good, well, I thought it was impossible. Then I tried these bars. The first bite was a surprise, a little spicy. But I quickly became addicted to these delicious carrot bars. They're also great if you leave them for a while in a warm car! Also try the dark chocolate. I can't decide which ones I like better. I'm just glad I have something that I can carry with me that doesn't need refrigeration and actually tastes good and fills me up.

I have so many allergies, but can actually eat these bars. They are the only nutrition bar I tolerate! No nuts, soy, gluten or dairy! They actually taste good to me and because of my restricted diet feel almost like a candy bar.

These bars are not great.. flavor is meh and the texture is a little gritty. I don’t think I will purchase again.

I have not had much luck finding good gluten-free/dairy-free chocolate bars, so I wasn't really expecting much when I ordered these. But I was very pleasantly surprised when they arrived and I tried one ! They actually taste very good, in my opinion, and also have a good texture.While I do eat them at home as a snack, they're really more useful to me when I'm away from home - whether a day-trip or overnight. They're not particularly messy to eat either, unlike some other bars I have tried, which is nice when you are grabbing a quick snack in your car or on a train, etc.At about $2 a pop they're not cheap, and I wish the bars themselves were a little bit bigger, but overall since they are so much better than most other chocolate bars I have tried, I would say they deserve a 5-star rating.
