NuGo Smarte Carb Chocolate Black Cherry, 18g Protein, 0g Sugar, 2g Net Carbs, 150 Calorie, 12 Count

Taste is good, none of the protein aftertaste; Texture is different but not noxious at all. I will actually be able to accept this as snack food

So hard I could break my tears run trying to chew them. The chocolate also looks old as it has the slightly whitish chocolate gets when it’s been laying around for a long time vupu should send me a new box which has bars that are fresh nut ones that have been suiting somewhere for a year.

These bars are not intended to tickle your sweet tooth nor to be a luscious dessert. They are nutrition bars, with emphasis on protein, and are a good substitute for less nutritious things when you are hungry between meals. The extra protein will tend to satisfy your appetite for a relative minimum of calories. The texture is pleasant, the taste is mild and inoffensive. The ratio of grams of protein to calories is the best I have seen in any protein bar. I will be buying more of these.

Both my husband and I have close relatives with NIDDM - non Insulin dependent Adult onset Diabetes. We recently began eliminating carbohydrates from our diet - which means no bread, pasta, rice, basically nothing "white" or full of sugar. Increasing our clean protein and veggies is no problem, but on busy days breakfast can be difficult. So we went in search of low carb "energy bars". I do not recommend this...it is pointless. We visited every health food store in town (actually several towns) and found ONE acceptable brand. And it cost exactly $3.75 per bar. And no, it wasn't a "family sized" bar. Just the average "one person feels hungry after finishing" it sized bar. We bought a couple of the, and they basically tasted like uncooked cookie dough. The flavor wasn't too bad but honestly, I'm not a fan of uncooked dough.And then I tried searching low carb bars on Amazon. Why, oh why, did I not do that FIRST?These bars, in every flavor, are tasty, satisfying and SOoooo low in carbs that I kind of wonder if the label is fibbing a little. Which actually would be okay...even with 10 more carbs per serving they would still beat the pants off the next lower carb bar on the self at our local health food establishment. So I would like to say "Thank You" to the reviewer who said that these are so good that he'd buy them even if they he didn't have diabetes! He's right.

Tastes ok. Not to bad

OMG, the Chocolate Black Cherry flavored Smarte Carb Protein Bars are Heavenly!! It is hard to believe they are Sugar-Free! They taste like a rice-Crispy bar with a light coating of real chocolate on the bottom, and have a hint of black cherry flavor. They do not taste chalky nor do they have any funky bitter after taste, like most bars claiming to be chocolate flavored! These are my new FAVORITES!!!

At the previous cost, one may argue the bland taste and gritty texture with only a hint of chocolate (and none of cherry) was worth the purchase, but with the sudden "jump" by over 50% in price these are a sure-fire loser. This increase is unheard of, even if they were not tasteless and barely edible - though I will admit the nutritional profile is appealing (though not extraordinary) for these types of products.

Have purchased 48 times!! Both last two boxes too hard to cut let alone bite. They are marked as returnable but I am not allowed to request replacement or contact seller or return. Beware prior to purchase!
