Food, nutrition and exercise information blended with a dash of opinion.

Whenever I see bars touting health claims in a chocolate flavor…I become a bit skeptical. If I buy this, is it really going to taste good? Should I just eat a high sugar candy bar if it makes me happier?As I tested an Attune probiotic bar from Rebecca’s Healthy Living Summit gift bag, I was totally blown away. The Dark Chocolate Raspberry bar was amazing. So amazing, I didn’t find myself wishing I was eating a candy bar.

Here are the highlights of the Attune Bar:

Dark chocolate with 68% Cacao (dark chocolate has more benefits for your body than milk chocolate.)
4 g fiber
90 calories
5 times the live active cultures in yogurt
Very rich: Although the serving size is one bar, I had a friend try part of it, and they couldn’t manage more than 1/4 of the bar because it was so heavy. I could see myself having half of a bar as part of a mid morning snack with a banana.

What are probiotics anyway?

According to NIH “Probiotics are live microorganisms (in most cases, bacteria) that are similar to beneficial microorganisms found in the human gut. They are also called friendly bacteria”. Probiotics are generally used to offset any side effects of antibiotics or for general digestive well-being. You don’t need supplements to get probiotics though! Some yogurts, tempeh, and miso carry strains of ‘good bacteria’.
