I am always on the lookout for gluten-free, non-GMO protein bars to share with you all because sometimes you just need good nutrition on-the-go!

So today I introduce Nutraplex Bars.

Born out of necessity for one, but healthy for all says founder, Brad Fowler.

He needed a healthy food choice for on-the-go that wasn’t full of refined sugars, wasn’t processed and was non-GMO & gluten-free. And because he couldn’t find just want he needed - he went out and made his own!

I love stories like this because it can relate to many of us that may have intolerances or other health-related problems and can’t find anything that fits the bill for our specific needs.

So - let’s get down to it. I received the Megaberry Bar and Pineapple Coconut Bar from Nutraplex to try out and I give them both 4 stars! ★★★★

PROS:

• Gluten-Free
• Non-GMO
• Vegetarian
• Kosher
• Omega 3’s
• Antioxidants
• LOTS of fiber (8 GRAMS!)
• Soy Free, Dairy Free
• No Preservatives
• Tastes AMAZING! The Pineapple Coconut bar kind of tastes like a Girl Scout Samoa and the Megaberry tastes like a fruit-filled fig newton.
• You can see REAL fruit pieces in the bars!

NEEDS IMPROVEMENT:

• My only real issue with these bars is that I wish they had more protein and less sugars. Even though the sugars are natural, coming from dates, honey and real fruit, 16-21 grams is a lot!

★ Overall, I really like these bars and I think they would be great to snack on in-between teaching group fitness classes in the AM (so I have all day to burn off the sugars). These bars have A LOT of pros going for them and I definitely plan on trying the other two flavors: Pomegranate Cherry and Mango Strawberry! ★
