Review on 🌱 NuGo Free Dark Vegan Rice Protein Bar - Probiotics, Gluten Free, Soy Free, Dark Chocolate Crunch (12-Pack) by Michaela Hughes

I've been a very, very devoted fan of the dark chocolate version of these bars for years. With multiple food intolerances and a frequent work schedule, they've been a lifesaver. I go through a stack of boxes of these each month (although I'm a very dedicated fan). Occasionally I would get a batch that seemed a little tougher or less fresh than usual, but I kept going. Because I order so much, I usually check costs on multiple websites and buy in bulk when prices are lower. A few months ago I noticed my local Whole Foods store didn't have them, but then they stopped showing up. There were fewer of them on the internet for a while. When I was finally able to order the dark chocolate bars, I noticed that the packaging had changed a bit and the ingredients had changed as well. The bars now contain probiotics. The? I already have a intake of probiotics and don't really want them added here. Along with the ingredient change, there was a slight change in texture and a slight difference in taste. Now they seem to be less important. Not sure what the reasons for this might be, in terms of increasing profit margins, jumping on top of the growing popularity of probiotics (I'm not even sure how much is taken in that form), etc., but I prefer the original version .
