What You’re Getting:

  • Lab-verified low GI - 26-31 GI score tested by GI Labs in Toronto
  • 16-17g protein - High quality blend
  • Real dark chocolate - Not waxy coating, actual chocolate
  • 4-5g net carbs - High fiber keeps it low
  • 2-3g sugar - Very low for a chocolate bar
  • Gluten-free - Certified

Why It Works

They use vegetable fiber that barely affects blood sugar. High fiber (7-8g) + low sugar (2-3g) + real ingredients = stable glucose levels.

And unlike most “diabetic” bars, this one actually tastes good. Real dark chocolate that melts, not that waxy compound chocolate garbage.
