Clif Bar Energy Bars Review

Clif Bar Energy Bars
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Clif Bars are high-density energy bars, designed to replace the fuel your body needs during demanding workouts. I use them during adventure racing, mountain climbing, and kayaking. They are excellent compared to all the other "power" type bars that are available. These are not "healthy snacks" for couch potatoes to smack on while watching TV. Do that and it'll end up on your butt! Used for the intended purpose, and when purchased fresh, these deserve the 5-star rating I've given.
I buy the variety pack at my local [...], and the price is lower than Amazon's gold box special price. The other advantage of purchasing food in a brick and mortar store is that you can verify the product expiration date. Several reviewers complained about this product being stale and/or out-dated. I've purchased other food products from Amazon and have also noted they are pushing close to the expiration date, meaning that one needs to consume a case of food within a week or two before it expires. Buyer beware.

Protein Diet Bars, 15 bars Review

Protein Diet Bars, 15 bars

High points of these bars:
-Very high ratio of protein to calories
-Very low saturated fat compared to other protein bars,
-Next to no sugars
-Taste (see below)
Given those three, it's really hard for me to complain about the taste. Does it taste like a Snickers bar? No. Does it taste bad? Absolutely not.
If you're comparing the taste of these bars to high calorie protein bars with a lot of sugar and saturated fat, I suppose these don't taste as good, but if you're shopping for protein bars, most likely you'll be better served by something with the nutritional content of Optimum Nutrition's bars. These protein bars are for the person who wants to add extra protein to their diet with a minimal amount of additional calories. If you are looking for a bar with maximum calories to support rapid weight gain, these probably are not the best bar for you.
Flavor comments:
I've tried chocolate peanut butter, chocolate truffle, and toasted coconut, and I found all pleasant, but in order, I found the coconut the best (if you like coconut), followed by peanut butter, and then the chocolate truffle. I will order all of them again, but find myself eating more of the first two than the last.
Results:
Using these bars (1-2 per day) in combination with Optimum Nutrition's 100% whey protein and a fairly rigorous exercise routine (P90x for those of you familiar with it), I've put on about 10 lbs of muscle in 6 months and completely changed the look of my body (shred a lot of fat and revealed the six-pack I'd been seeking my whole life). Obviously the exercise is more important than the protein bars I've been eating, but I find these bars make for an excellent between meal snack to keep my metabolism burning all day long. I keep a stock of these in the cupboard at all times and highly recommend them.
