Commentary on ZonePerfect Dark Chocolate Nutrition Bars: From Dr. Rosemary Riley, Ph.D., LD, Nutrition Scientist for Abbott Nutrition:
\"Eating chocolate simply makes us feel good-just thinking about chocolate can evoke pleasurable emotions and memories. With ZonePerfect Dark Chocolate Nutrition Bars, you now don't have to choose between what you enjoy and what is good for you.\"
\"ZonePerfect Dark Chocolate Nutrition Bars satisfy your sweet tooth and your nutritional common sense. Their decadent dark chocolate taste and crunchy texture immediately spark the senses, while the balance of protein, carbohydrates and fat leave you feeling satisfied longer than empty calorie snacks.\"
\"ZonePerfect Dark Chocolate Nutrition Bars can help time-crunched, multi-tasking people achieve their nutrition goals while indulging in great taste.\"
\"As Americans continue to trend toward a more flexible approach to eating, we are relying more and more on snacking and eating on the go to meet our nutritional needs. But eating on the go should not mean eating high-fat, low-nutrition snacks. Choosing ZonePerfect Dark Chocolate Nutrition Bars will satisfy cravings and provide an ideal balance of protein, carbohydrates and fat.\"
