Giveaway & Product Review - Attune Gluten Free Chocolate Probiotic Bars

Do you love chocolate? I do! I thought I had hit the jackpot when I discovered that I could eat a delicious chocolate bar everyday that was actually good for me! A company named Attune had the brilliant idea to make gluten free chocolate bars that each have a full days supply of probiotics in them! You heard right... healthy, "gut-loving" probiotics hidden in an all natural gluten free chocolate bar. The best part is Attune is GIVING AWAY a one months supply of their gluten free Chocolate Probiotic Bars to (1) very lucky Gluten Free Taste of Home follower (winner will receive 4 boxes containing 7 bars each = 28 bars).

Attune says:

"You might not think much about digestion until you have discomfort or digestive issues. Busy lifestyles, large meals, late dinners and other stresses can result in an overworked digestive system that could use a little help. Attune’s clinically proven probiotics help promote digestive health, so you can forget about feeling uncomfortable and focus on feeling your best.

Attune is a great way to help promote digestive balance, but remember, it's important to eat a balanced diet with 25-30 grams of fiber each day. Also, make sure you drink plenty of water or other liquids, reduce stress, and plan regular meals and exercise. If you continue to experience discomfort, talk with your healthcare provider. *Sources Danisco HOWARU Probiotic Research Library - read all the available scientific literature on HOWARU probiotic strains, Bifido and Acidophilus"

My 2 cents:

You might be wondering if a chocolate that is good for you actually tastes good; you bet! My 7 year old regularly asks for an Attune gluten free Chocolate Probiotic Bar for dessert, even when other dessert choices are available for her to choose from. It makes me feel great that my daughter with Celiac Disease is getting her daily probiotics... and it makes her happy that she gets a tasty chocolate treat! Although all of the flavors tasted wonderful I am especially partial to the Raspberry Dark Chocolate, my daughters favorites are the Chocolate Crisp and the Mint Chocolate.
