In their words
“These are vegan, they are so good, they digest well, and they have no coconut anything! During a time when so much food, especially vegan convenience foods, have coconut, it makes for a bad time as a vegan who recently developed a sensitivity/allergy to coconut. I hope Nugo sticks around and doesn't change their recipe! (Or jack up their prices.) I also love their peanut one and the "peanut butter”

“I purchased one to try out since the cover said “dark chocolate pretzel” and I love the taste of pretzel and chocolate together, first thing there’s nothing about the pretzels inside it! It’s basically a rice cake coated with dark chocolate and that’s it. The other thing is it was too sweet for me, so instead of I get something mixed between sweet and salty, I get a very sweet protein bar!”
