It says something when you take a bite and instantly grab your water bottle. That’s what happened when I tried the Dang Bar (both toasted coconut and cardamom chai). I’m still sitting here trying to get the taste out of my mouth, but something I just ate coated my mouth and I can’t get it rinsed away.

These are plant-based Keto bars; it’s always tough to find good snacking items that fit this eating lifestyle. Each bar has 5 grams of net carbs and 9 grams of protein, but that’s where the positives end.

One of the taste testers said she felt like she was eating a bar of soap when she took a bite of the cardamom chai bar. I have to say I agree. While soap eating may be a thing on “My Strange Addiction”, it certainly isn’t part of my eating repertoire, or any of the others on the team here. So it’s a hard pass and a gigantic IMBHO-no.

The story behind the Dang company is fun, and actually named after Vincent’s mom. (Vincent is the CEO and founder). You can find more about their story here.

While I haven’t tried their other products, these Dang bars just don’t meet the good-eating challenge. You can find out more about Dang here.
