Chocolate or Not Chocolate?

Me? Well, normally not chocolate. I am more of a fruit girl for my sweets. However, I have been playing around with chocolate lately. I am not one to pick up a candy bar, but if it has some nutritional value, I am intrigued! Especially if it aids in digestion! So, when I saw these Attune Probiotic Chocolate Bars, I knew I wanted to try them.
We take probiotic pills here everyday. With all the tummy troubles the illustrator and I have had, let's just say we could use all the help we can get. The first one I tried was the Raspberry Dark Chocolate flavor.
The raspberry flavor is definitely there and the chocolate is nice and creamy. If you like chocolate with fruit, I definitely recommend this one!
Next up was Coffee Bean Dark Chocolate. I am not going to lie to you, this was really good!
I love coffee and coffee flavored treats, so this one was right up my alley in  flavor! The texture and flavor work so well together!
The last bar I tried was the Dark Chocolate bar. While I am not a chocolate person, I really did enjoy these bars. I love that you get a good dose of probiotics along with antioxidants when you are indulging in a treat. While my oldest, Jay, is not a fan of dark chocolate, my youngest, Max is and he loved these too! If you are looking for a more exciting way to get probiotics in your belly (other than in pill form) I would recommend the Attune Probiotic Chocolate Bars!

Are you a chocolate person? Do you take probiotics?

    I've always wanted to try these. But I shy away from the sugar content - even though, it's really not that bad. Thanks so much for the review!

    Farty Girl, there is definitely sugar in them, but if you are going to have chocolate...at least it has some good tummy benefits!

    I got a sample of these awhile back... maybe in the spring and I loved them!! I am totally a chocolate person, so knowing that they are a healtier version made me feel even better. I think I tried the mint chocolate, milk chocolate, and crispy chocolate?? Anyway, they were all really good flavors and I would buy them if I could ever find them. Excellent review!! I want to try that raspberry flavor now!! :)

    OH my goodness, I would be all over that coffee bean one. Coffee and chocolate are two flavors that were just meant to go together. I mean they start with the same letter. And are brown. And delicious. How can they not be destined to go together? lol

    Not a chocolate girl. I like white chocolate though. I have had some really good chocolate before and enjoyed it, but it's nothing I crave or get excited about. Hope you're having a good weekend so far!

    I liked those bars, but have to admit that I prefer nibbling on chocolate when I feel like it and taking a daily probiotic. It was weird to have to eat a chocolate bar every day. I ended up eating more than I normally would!
