My first experience with probiotics was through several products from Attune Foods. Many of you are probably wondering what exactly probiotics are and why they are good for you. My only knowledge of probiotics before trying Attune was an article I’d read about Gwyneth Paltrow and the strict organic diet she follows. In simple terms probiotics are healthy bacteria cultures. They are live organisms that when consumed in certain quantities provide health benefits for your body.
Attune has created all-natural wellness bars that are packed with five times the beneficial probiotics found in regular yogurt. These supplemental good bacteria keep your digestive and immune systems healthy. Attune is actually better for you than yogurt, because it contains less sugar than most yogurt products.
I know yogurt is good for you because of the live cultures, but I cannot stand to eat it. No matter what flavor you give me or what you put in it, I can’t stand it. Eating a fruit with granola or sweet chocolate flavored bar a day, is an easy way to get the probiotics in my system and it even tastes delicious!
It takes about 14 days to feel the full effects and benefits of probiotic bars such as these, and I could certainly tell a difference in the way I felt within the first week of eating a daily bar. I grabbed a bar each morning on my way out the door and ate it on the way to work. My meals aren’t always well-balanced, which can lead to digestive issues, but Attune seemed to help me digest the fiber I was eating in a quicker manner than before.
The wellness bars also include prebiotics, which is a form of fiber that remains undigested in the small intestine and acts as food for the naturally-occurring healthy flora in your digestive system. Adding a bar like this to your overall diet just seems like a smart idea. My favorites were the chocolate crisp and strawberry bliss, but all the bars were excellent. When they taste this great and are so easy to add to your diet, everyone should be able to find something suitable to their tastes and lifestyles.

Probiotics are really great. I have used them for years now–my overall health really seems better
We are very health concious in the house hold, this would be a great addition to our daily diets.
I have not used any probiotic products. This is a great concept; so much of this is needed when one takes antibiotics. thank you
I have tried probiotic capsules in the past, but they were difficult to remember to take. I would love to try Attune as a way to incorporate probiotics into my diet. Thanks!
I am getting back into shape and would love to try this!
I have never tried any probiotics, but I find the concept interesting. It would be great to try these and gauge the results.
I have never tried any probiotic products, but am definitely getting more and more into healthful living. Better late than never! Would love to try these. Hope to win.
Im in attune
I just starting hearing about this, I find it interesting.
ive never tried your product but would like to.
I’ve never tried probiotics, but I’d be interested in giving them a shot.
I think it’s less expensive and more effective to use food prducts such as these rather than probiotic supplements. I enjoy Stoneyfield Farm organic yogurt’s mixture of probioptic bacteria.
I use probiotics like drinking kefir but would love to try this products since I have IBS and I always seek natural products to treat it with.
GREAT I would love to win
Sounds yummy, but I’m not sure I want to eat a bar every time I need my probiotics. I like my supplements because my stomach is so sensitive to so many foods. But your review has me curious about these bars…
I haven’t tried any before, but am growing tired of the variety of “health” bars out there, and would love to try them.
Looks yummy
I have never tried any probiotics but i would like to. It sounds good!
These sound delicious! Would love to try them - will pass it on to my bootcamp friends!
I have never used probiotic products but have heard a lot about it. I would like to try Attune because it sounds like it would be tasty and good for me at the same time!
please enter me thanks
I too can’t stand yogurt. This is because of being raised on a farm and always drinking chunky milk as a tot. I am often stopped up and wonder if these aren’t the answer to that problem. Thanks for your consideration.

I never have used probiotics but would like to do so. I need to eat healthier.
would love to win these.
We’re just hearing about probiotics now - would love to try the bars.
I love anything that can help with my health.
I have been reading lately about probiotics, with the intention to start using them in my daily routine. I am working on eating healthier, and trying to get to a healthier weight, and such. I think that this would give me a good headstart on my way to better health.
I eat yogurt every day for the cultures in it, I would love to have an on-the-go version of it, it would be so much handier.
I’ve never heard of probiotics though, def. going to check this out!
can’t wait to try this
I’ve never tried probiotic products but anything to boost the immune system (and includes chocolate) sounds good to me! It’s tax season and I’m run down!
I would love to try these products.
I’ve never tried probiotic products before and I have to admit before reading this article I didn’t know it existed. I would love to try these and see if they really work. Thanks for the great give away!
what a great idea. I am an athlete so I drink alot of protein shakes, this will help with some of the stomach upset.
anything different is worth trying
I want to try this…..
I haven’t really tried probiotics before, but I really like the concept of it, and it makes a lot of sense.
Never tried it but would like anything that can help me get more healthy and look better for the summer
Please do not send things Fed Ex Ground I am not home Mon threw Firday I am at work… I like to get things when i order them without having to pick them up. If I wanted to drive to get stuff I would not shop online…..
I walk 3-4 miles a day These would be great.
I have to eat yogurt and fiber supplements regularly because of digestive problems so I’d like to try something new.
Hello, The closest I have come is eating yogurt. I have also taken something similar in pill form. I was having a lot of trouble with yeast problems and these were supposed to help. The yogurt had too much sugar which fed the yeast instead of helping it! I am a vegetarian, but not completely organic, yet. I would love to try these bars and see how my body reacts. They certainly sound wonderful. Please enter me in your drawing. Thanks very much! Cindi
I have never tried probiotic products, but always willing to try something new. Enter me please.
I haven’t committed to probiotics but I’d love to try it. I do fresh extracted vegetable/fruit juice daily and I’ve eaten mass produced yogurt for decades. This could help me check it out.
I take probiotics daily to aid in digestive health.
Finally someone has come up with a great health bar containing probiotics. This is a great healthful nutritious idea.
Wow, I could really use this product! I don’t like yogurt at all, I just can’t eat it; but at the same time I have had a problem with yeast in my system for years.
I’ve been on the Candida diet before and thrived on it; but have fallen off of the wagon.
I take acidopholus every morning now.
Would really enjoy trying these!
I am at my job for 12 hours straight…and I’m always looking for ways to be healthier…so these bars would make a perfect munchy during my long hours…thanks
I’ve never tried anything like this before, but I’m very interested.
i’ve never tried probiotics, but it’s an interesting thing. i’d love to give these a try
Except for yogurt I’ve never used anything with probiotics but I do try to use products that would improve my health. This sounds worth a try.
I eat yogurt for my probiotics, but I’m not crazy about it.
Attune bars are a perfect way to get them into your diet!
I love to eat yogurt and do so every single day. The problem is…it gets boring! I would like to be able to try something else with the beneficial probiotics so I can mix it up a bit and have some variety. Plus, when it is 115 outside in the summer, eating yogurt is not always a great idea. That heat with the heavy feeling yogurt can create at times is enough to make you puke. Yech… I would really love to try these. Thanks!
I am a nurse and always on the go and looking for quick nutritious foods. I also work nights and am looking for good fiber sources! Seems perfect.
Tried Ativia, and those little tiny bottles. Yogurt in so many forms.
It would be nice not to have to drink or eat thick dairy.
A bar is better to carry. and I can carry it better without it spilling or getting warm - icky.
Thank you
I currently use Probiotics in capsule form. I came across Probiotics when researching more “Natural” ways to deal with Crohn’s disease. It has helped alot!
I have never used Probiotics but it certainly seems like a healthy alternative to cookies for our family.
My wife would love to get our family eating healthier and this looks like a easy way to solve our problem
This is a perfect solution for my 12 hour workday!!!!!!!! And it seems so yummy too
take one every day
i would love to try this, i want to stay healthy esp. because everyone around me is sick or getting sick.
I have tried pro biotics in yogurt once and I liked it! But, I have never used it over a very long period of time and I would like to try that. Thanks!
have not used, but would love to try
These sound perfect for my husband. He is not regular and often eats on the run. Having these to grab and go would really be beneficial for him.
Sounds like a great product!
i think this would be great for my wife to try out she has many food allergies and allways being bothered by her stomach
I would love to try and get in better health, these would be a great start!
I have never tried these but would love to because they’d be a healthy snack/ start to my day!

I’m on weight watchers right now. I wonder how many points they are worth.
Need to be ATTUNE ‘cuz I’m getting up in age!!!!

These are really good. With the growing nutrition problem arising in America, these are a healthy alternative to other less healthy foods. I would love to win this!

I’ve heard of probiotics, but have never tried them in general or the Attune products, but would like to. Thanks for sharing!!
I’ve never tried pro-biotics, but I was curious when i heard about Madonna doing the diet.
I have had various yogurts with active cultures. I think probiotics make sense in this world of anti-bacterial everything. Not all bacterial are bad.
I have not tried probiotics, but I’m having digestive issues lately and I’d really like to.
I take a probiotic daily. I’d love to switch to these bars.
I eat Activia lately and love it
