Another Jigsaw brand bar Rob and I had the opportunity to test out was the gluten free Chocolate bar. This bar too contains no soy protein, no gluten and no casein.
I found love with Jigsaw's Coconut-Almond bar so I was hoping for the same with the chocolate.
These bars contain "powerful glyco-nutrients & heart healthy omega-3's". I think they taste fantastic and are low in calories and carbs but high in protein.
The Chocolate Jigsaw is a bit more predictable as a nutrition bar- meaning it tastes fairly similar to other bars I've tried. But this in no way means it doesn't taste delicious. It has a rich intense carob-chocolate bite to it with perhaps a bit of a marzipan after-taste. The chocolate like the coconut almond is smooth, soft and easy to chew. I also like the protein crisps that give it a crunch.
Again, you would never in a million years even know that this bar is gluten free.
So I guess I found love again (after Rob and the coconut almond). Definitely the chocolate eats more like a candy bar and has an intense dark chocolate flavor. You can be sure we'll ordering these regularly from now on.
