My husband asked me to pick up a pack of protein bars the last time I went shopping. Reading the labels in the store, I was shocked to see how many protein bars had partially hydrogenated oils, high fructose corn syrup, and nasty chemicals.

I grabbed a box of Double Dark Chocolate NuGO Organic Nutrition bars and kept my fingers crossed that they wouldn’t taste like cardboard. They don’t! They have a chewy whole grain center, and are coated with real antioxidant rich dark chocolate.

The bars are free of trans fats and genetically modified ingredients. They have 180 calories, 10 grams of protein, and only 8 grams of sugar per bar. Slip one in your workout bag or purse for a quick organic meal on the go.
