i always have cliff bars on my cupboards, and in my bag. they're the best snack (though i often use them as a meal replacement when i don't have time to sit & eat)
some funky flavours, but if you stick with oatmeal, chocolate chip & peanut chocolate chip, you'll be all good
I've tried several varieties of Clif bar. They aren't filling enough to be a meal replacement, but they supplement a modest lunch nicely. They are very convenient to keep a box in the cupboard for days when you need something you can grab on the go. Some of the flavors leave an acidic aftertaste, but the Banana Nut (very tasty) and the Carrot Cake (fairly tasty) do not seem to have this problem. The Oatmeal Raisin is definitely an acid offender, but I will still buy them occasionally because I like the initial taste.
I have such a love/hate relationship with Clif Bars.
Both my wife and I find that occasionally they seem to leave an acidic taste in our mouth. There is some concern that eating too much soy is bad for ones health, so if you are worried about that then you might want to skip Clif bars - they definitely have a lot of soy products in them.
That said, they are filling, usually taste pretty good, and are great value.
As you can tell, it's mostly a love relationship.
I have these from time-to-time and really like them. My favorite is the "Crunchy Peanut Butter". They are mostly organic, provided some good protein/energy, heck - and tho they may look kinda funny - they taste really good!
Recommend these!!!
UPDATE!!!: My kids have taken a real liking to the "Jr." version of these. Their favs are the chocolate brownie and honey graham... Love it when the kids like the better-for-you snacks!
I have tried many different kinds of energy bars and clif bar is still my favorite. I like the peanut crunch and chocolate peanut crunch ones the best. I always keep a few lying around my house for those days when I know I'm gonna be out and about wishing I had quick snack on hand that will actually fill me up.
Clif Bars are a great on-the-go snack. I'll usually have a few on hand in my cupboard in case I don't have time to grab lunch (or breakfast). They've been real life savers on long car rides/airplane rides. For the most part, I like the texture of the bars (they're way better than Power Bars or anything along those lines). I couldn't say exactly which flavor is my favorite, but I tend to opt for the fruitier and nuttier kinds, as opposed to the chocolate versions. That being said, the most recent Clif Bar I had was the Chocolate Almond Fudge version. And it was really quite tasty! And not too sweet. Plus, I've got to give Clif Bar bonus points for working with TerraCycle.
My husband eats tons of energy bars but I hadn't found one that I really liked. This one is the best tasting one I have found. The only problem is that they are more expensive but I ordered some online to cut down on the cost so now we can enjoy more of these.
Definitely, one of my favorite energy/snack bars. :)
Clif bars a great healthy snack when you're feeling hungry and need some energy! Not only do they taste great but they also have lots of nutrients.
I love these bars. They are great for before or after sports, and the flavors are really cool. My favorite is the carrot cake. The only downside is they leave you a little bit thirsty after. They are very filling bars so I normally would eat a whole mini bar, or half of one at a time to tide me over. The chocolate chip ones are also good because you get a little chocolate surprise in every bite. If you read the ingredients list on these bars it's pretty interesting and way more natural than normal energy bars.
I used to love snacking on these at work when we sold them in the coffee shop I managed. They weren't exactly a meal, but they were great for a 'tea time' snack-- when you know you've got class or something, and dinner will be late. They give a lot of energy, though. I like the peanut butter ones best!
My son loves these. I wanted to find something quick, nutritious and filling and get him off of bagels. The Clif bars are perfect except they could have a little less sugar. I'm so happy though with the protein and fiber and nutrients and to have my son off empty calorie bagels. There are some yummy flavors as well.
I've been eating Clif bars forever -- I'm mainly a Chocolate Brownie fan, but I've tried most other flavors. I find that, compared with Balance Bars (too chalky), Power Bars (too chewy/sticky), Luna bars (too sweet, and feels unsubstantial), Tiger Milk Bars (too sweet -- feels like candy), etc., these are the ones I prefer for a quick snack or meal replacement (with a banana or something to tide me over).
A second favorite (similar in terms of texture and sweetness) is Odwalla bars, but I think those don't taste as good. I'm all about the Clifs.
