Zing Bars were created by registered dietitians who were looking for a healthy alternative for themselves, their clients and they're families. They are gluten-free and made with whole ingredients. Here's some more info straight from their website:

"Zing Bars are 100% natural with absolutely no artificial additives, sweeteners or flavors. We developed them for the health and well-being of our patients and from the kinds of ingredients we’d like our own kids to eat.

Each bar has a nut butter base—peanut, almond or cashew—with added protein, fiber, agave nectar and either fruit or organic free-trade dark chocolate. We chose the ingredients to provide the same complete nutrition that we recommend for all meals:

• Heart healthy fats
• High fiber
• High quality lean protein
• Low glycemic carbs"

Zing has both vegan and non-vegan (whey protein) options and comes in six flavors:
- Chocolate Coconut (vegan)*
- Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip (vegan)
- Cashew Cranberry Orange (vegan)
- Chocolate Peanut Butter (whey protein)*
- Oatmeal Chocolate Chip (whey protein)*
- Almond Blueberry (whey protein)
* Personal favorite flavors
