The Perfect Protein Bar- NuGo Nutrition


Disclaimer: I received NuGo Nutrition Egg White Protein Barsto review as part of being a BibRave Pro. Learn more about becoming a BibRavePro (ambassador), and check out BibRave.com to review find and write race reviews!



I love a good protein bar. Finding one that is the right texture and flavor is like a magical unicorn. There have been some that have come close to my high expectations, but most falter in one area or another.

I had seen different varieties of NuGo bars in the grocery store and tried one or two. The flavor profile was definitely there. I was so excited when I was asked to try NuGo’s newest product: Egg White Protein bars.

NuGo Nutrition boasts 10 different product lines (9 bars and 1 cookie!) all of which are free from artificial flavoring, colors, and sweeteners. They are also one of the only companies to use REAL dark chocolate in all of their products. Yum!

NoGo Nutrition released their Egg White Protein bars last month to much anticipation (at least on my part!). Other egg white protein bars had been a staple in my diet for a while, but the texture always left something to be desired so I was anxious to see what NuGo had to offer.



NuGo Nutrition’s Egg White Protein bars are gluten free and made with non-GMO egg whites. They offer 12-14g of protein per bar with 180-200 calories each. This is 2g more of protein with less calories than other egg white protein bars on the market.

Breakdown of NuGo Egg White Protein bars:
-12-14g protein
-Whole Food
-Paleo (3 flavors)
-Non-GMO
-Certified Gluten-Free and Kosher Pareve
-Real Fruits and Nuts
-No Dairy, Soy or Artificial Ingredients
-No Added Sugars

NuGo Egg White Protein bars come in 4 delicious flavors:
-Dark Chocolate with sea salt
-Peanut Butter (my absolute fave!)
-Blueberry
-Maple Pecan (a surprise 2nd place for me)

I am absolutely in love with the peanut butter flavor. I was a bit biased going in, knowing how much I love peanut butter and it didn’t let me down. The flavor is so rich and the texture of the bar is a little chewy, but not chalky at all.



The real surprise flavor for me was maple pecan. I do not like syrup at all so I was a little nervous to try this one. I was completely blown away by the flavor though! It was sweet, but also had hints of cinnamon and pecan. I couldn’t believe how much I liked this one.

As with any egg white bar, the texture of these bars can be a little chewy (especially if they’re warm). I found that popping them into the refrigerator about 30 minutes before I ate one helped firm it up a bit which made it easier to eat.  

I would highly suggest giving these delicious, easy to eat egg white protein bars a try. Try a box today (they have an assorted box!) using code BIBRAVE for 15% off NuGo Egg White Protein Bars until August 3, 2018!

Happy Runniversary!

Happy Runniversary to me!   I started running a year ago today. I can't believe it. It all started because I wanted to quit the gym and man, what a journey it's been!  In a year, I've gone from tolerating running for maybe 60 seconds at a time to finishing my first half marathon last month. I've had quite a few ups and downs, but I honestly wouldn't trade this past year for anything.  In honor of my runniversay, I want to give a shout out to everything that's kept me going this past year:  Altra and Hoka One One shoes: A good pair of shoes is a must. I wasn't too wise when I started running, but quickly found out the hard way. Though different in so many ways, I love my Altra and Hokas equally. They both kept me running strong this past year and I couldn't have done it without them.    Garmin watch: I love running, but I hated using my phone to track my runs. It killed my battery and it wasn't super accurate. Enter my su...

One. More. Month.

The Willimantic Half Marathon medals were released today! I was casually hanging out on Twitter today and saw that BibRave tweeted out a picture of them. I think I squealed with excitement when I saw it. My very first medal! Naturally, I sent the picture to my sister RIGHT AWAY  and she kindly reminded me, we are exactly ONE MONTH  from race day!  One month...holy cow. I honestly cannot believe it. 12 weeks of training down. 2 more long runs to go.  I am still playing around with fueling before my runs. I thought I had it down, but I've started getting stomach aches again. So, I might go minimalist and see what happens. I think I've figured out raisins work well for me during runs.  The biggest thing I need to figure out is hydration. Not so much when or what, but how . I've been using a hydration belt I got at Marshall's last summer, which has served me well. But it's starting to fall apart. And it doesn't hold enough. So I'm on the sea...

Baby It (Can Be) Cold Outside

Ahhhh Winter. The snuggly sweaters, the boots, the hot chocolate...what's not to love?! If only I could actually pull off that outfit... Source When I dream about my Winter Wonderland fantasy there is always cold, crisp air and sun. And there is NEVER snow. Ever. Quite honestly, I can't stand the stuff. Which is sort of funny since I'm from the Midwest and now live on the East Coast. But I digress. I'm clumsy enough on a good day. Add snow and it's a recipe for disaster. Now, I'll do just about anything to run outside, but some days (i.e. when it is snowing at a rate of 3 inches an hour) it is just too dangerous to run outdoors and I find myself on the treadmill (or dreadmill...whatever). Source Like most people I have a love/hate relationship with the treadmill.  I thought I would share some of my workouts that help pass the time so if you ever find yourself on the treadmill this winter you won't fall asleep from mind numbing boredom.  ...
