Customer Reviews of Clif Bar Energy Bar, Variety Pack of Chocolate Chip, Crunchy Peanut Butter, and Chocolate Chip Peanut Crunch, 2.4-Ounce Bars, Pack of 24
Customer Review: Pretty darn good!
Summary: 5 Stars
My search for a healthier mid-morning snack alternative is over! I have been searching for something that is better than the typical work vending machine snack foods. I have tried the standard energy bars, but found them to be lacking. I hate the taffy-like consistency of most bars and have a difficult time eating more than a few bites.
Clif Bars are a bit unusual. They have the rice/wheat texture you expect from a granola bar, but are much more "moist" than granola bars. The flavors are good, not overly sweet and the three varieties are enough that I have not grown tired of the "same old" stuff.
FYI - the bars may not be ideal for those people who are counting carbs or on a strict diabetic diet. The carb count per bar is 42g-44g and the sugar content ranges from 20g-22g. The good news is that they appear to have far more nutritional value then many bars including 100% Vit C and E, and 15-30% of many others (B1, B2, B3, B6, B12, K, Iron, Calcium, etc.) and 5g of fiber.
Customer Review: The bar I always come back to
Summary: 5 Stars
This variety pack (especially when subscribed to) is the way to go for value and quality. I "stray" to other bars every now and then (sales, variety), but nothing beats the taste and nutrients packed into the good ol' Clif Bar.
Energy/Nutrition/Snack bars preference usually comes down to two things: taste and texture. It can taste great, but if it is a brick or a dry clump of powder, you probably aren't sticking with it. I think Clif Bars' taste is up there with any other bar (a lot of great flavors beyond this variety pack). The texture of Clif Bars is probably not for everyone, but I love the oaty, chewy, heavy brownie like texture.
These are pretty big and have enough calories to sustain you for a good workout. At 240 calories, these aren't a casual snack for me and are typically used as workout fuel.
Taste and Texture - try 'em and see.
Customer Review: Among the best...
Summary: 4 Stars
Okay, I love Clif Bars. There - I said it. I eat them every day, because they keep me going as I travel from client to client, and they also fuel me up before my own workouts. If you haven't tried a Clif bar, they are somewhere between soft cookie and brownie consistency. They're mostly organic, and are offered in many flavors (though unfortunately not all are available on Amazon!)
Clif bars are best used as a meal replacement, in the event that you can't get good food in your system between breakfast & lunch, or between lunch & dinner. At only 250 calories, they provide enough calories for a small meal, with a good balance of carbs and protein. Generally sold in stores for about $1.50 each, a good price is $1.00 or less per bar, which is why I recommend buying in bulk, or n multi-packs like those offered on Amazon.
Enjoy Clif bars responsibly - one at a time!
Customer Review: Clif Variety Bars are AMAZING!!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I find the Clif Bars generally good tasting and scrumptious with the exception of the Chocolate Chip, it tastes too sweet for me. I use them as my breakfast replacement with two pieces of fruit. I just can't make the effort to make breakfast in the morning. So the bars greatly help me keep a balanced diet of sorts. Especially because I am prone to skipping breakfast and I won't eat something till 2pm. This in turn would cause me to overeat at lunch or worse later at home for dinner. It keeps me sufficiently full and light on my feet, as I usually feel lethargic if I eat any meat products for breakfast. I googled the ingredients and they are of high quality and I asked my vegetarian friend she told me she is in love with them especially the convenience it provides with our busy lives. I highly recommend them. Cheers.Customer Review: Better than the old variety pack!
Summary: 5 Stars
The old variety pack had, instead of Chocolate Chip, Oatmeal Raisin Walnut. In my opinion this was a good move. The Chocolate Chip tastes more "normal" as the Oatmeal Raisin Walnut bar was a little odd too me. The Oatmeal was a little on the rough side and hence, did not add to the texture.
I had always liked the Crunchy Peanut Butter, but the new formula for the Chocolate Chip Peanut Crunch bar is simply amazing. Also, I think all Clif Bars since Dec 2007 have added moisture or something -- my friend and I both noticed in different packages that the bars are more moist and chewy than they were before.
Finally, get the variety pack so you don't get bored of one flavor by eating it too much... they key is to alternate, otherwise they'll taste and feel like you're chewing on cardboard :)
