ZING BARS REVIEW
Years ago, I had a coworker who if would describe bad food as “It had a zang to it.”. If it was good, she’d say, “Oh it had a zing!”. So Zing was good. Anything with a zang we shied away from.
How fitting that the nutrition bar I sampled last week are called Zing. Zing was kind enough to send me free of charge a sample of all five of their bars:
- Oatmeal Chocolate Chip (Wheat Free, Gluten Free) - uses Certified Gluten Free Oats!
- Chocolate Peanut Butter (Wheat Free, Gluten Free)
- Cranberry Orange (Wheat Free, Gluten Free, Dairy Free)
- Almond Blueberry (Wheat Free, Gluten Free)
- Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip (Wheat Free, Gluten Free, Dairy Free)
Here’s what the Zing brochure reads that accompanied my samples:
- Created by Nutritionists/Registered Dietians
- Optimal balance of protein, carbs and fats
- Certified wheat & gluten free
- Sweetened with low glycemic organic agave
- High protein and good source of fiber
- Healthy fat from nuts
- No trans fats or palm kernel oil
- No artificial colorings, flavors or preservatives
- No artificial sweeteners or corn syrup
So basically, the brochure is stating – these are good for us! And not only are they good for us, they taste good. Too often I’ve tried protein bars that have that funky “zang” to it. But Zing Bars are good tasting, packs a great amount of protein, a good amount of your dietary fiber and are great for snacks on the go.
These bars are perfect for me for work, for throwing in my backpack for my commute home on the train/bus and just for stashing in the car for a day long running around of errands and whatnot.
They are not wide spread yet in retail store locations, but you can check on their site to see if there is a store near you, or you can order online, like I will be doing!
Thanks, Zing.

Hey Steve. Thanks for this review! I’m always looking for new bars. So few of the GF bars are really tasty (in my opinion). So I end up eating a core group over and over…and then I burn out. It’s great to see I have new options with good-sounding flavors!
Cheers, Pete
You’re welcome. It’s a good find!
