NuGo Slim protein bars expand with new flavors
Nutrition bars often are criticized for having high sugar content that can spike blood glucose levels and pack on unwanted calories. But NuGo Slim bars use chicory root fiber to provide a sweet flavor many consumers desire, but with a low glycemic score of only 24. While the bars are well suited for consumers with diabetes, the packages are mum on the topic because diabetic-friendly claims often are associated with lackluster taste profiles, according to a spokeswoman. Plus, she said, people managing diabetes often also want to eat food “regular” people also eat, which she says NuGo Slim bars are.
