5.0 out of 5 stars It's Like, So Organic!, April 15, 2006

By	M. Allen Greenbaum (California) - See all my reviews (TOP 100 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

This is one of the best-tasting energy/snack bars I've tried. It has true flavors (think a chewy chocolate brownie with small chocolate chips), little or no "off" flavors or aftertastes, and it's relatively filling, especially if accompanied by water or an additional quick snack, such as fruit. It's a small bar, but it's packed with 3 grams of fiber (12% of daily needs based on a 2,000 calorie diet), and it's certified 95% organic. These organic ingredients include organic rolled oats, organic oat Flour, organic oat fiber, organic and milled flaxseed, and actual natural flavors. Even the sweet stuff is organic:, including organic chocolate (made with--you guessed it--organic evaporated cane juice), soy butter, cocoa powder, cocoa butter, tapioca syrup, and fig paste. CLIF's website proclaims that "CLIF ZBar is the first kids' snack created to comply with SB-19, California's Senate Bill limiting fat and sugar in foods offered within the state's school system...We source ingredients which do not contain wheat and are not genetically engineered." Although aimed at kids, adults and teens will enjoy this as well.

Ingredients: Organic Rolled Oats, Organic Chocolate Chips (Organic Evaporated Cane Juice, Organic Unsweetened Chocolate, Organic Cocoa Butter, Soy Lecithin, Natural Flavors), Organic Evaporated Cane Juice Syrup, Organic Brown Rice Syrup, Organic Tapioca Syrup, Organic Fig Paste, Organic Oat Flour, Organic Cocoa Powder, Organic Soy Butter, Natural Flavors, Organic Oat Fiber, Organic Milled Flaxseed, Organic Chocolate (Organic Evaporated Cane Juice, Organic Unsweetened Chocolate, Organic Cocoa Butter, Soy Lecithin), Salt, Baking Soda. For those with allegies, CLIF includes the following caution "Contains soy. May contain traces of milk, peanuts and other nuts."

Vitamins & Minerals: Calcium Carbonate, Ascorbic Acid (Vit. C), Niacinamide (Vit. B3), Ferric Orthophosphate (Iron), Zinc Oxide, Cyanocobalamin (Vit. B12), Thiamine Mononitrate (Vit. B1), Pyridoxine Hydrochloride (Vit. B6), Riboflavin (Vit. B2), Folic Acid (Vit. B9), Beta Carotene (Vit A).

I don't think there's a similar product around that can compete with the taste, purity, and nutritional value of this popular new treat.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not just for kids!, November 8, 2005

By	El-Cheapo (Boston, MA USA) - See all my reviews

If I had kids, I'd be stealing these out of their lunch bag. Cheeky bastards!

I get afternoon chocolate cravings and can't scarf down Snickers bars everyday (at least not if I'm spending most of my day sedentary in an offic chair). The zBar Brownies offer all the satisfaction of chocolate with the wholesomeness of oatmeal.

Ok, so it's not as rich and creamy as something from Hershey. But they are damn good without olestra, saccharine, and other ingredients that will embalm you. And the #1 ingredient is Organic Oats. The #2 ingredient is organic chocolate chips. If that wasn't a good enough start, all the other ingredients are organic too.

1 bar = 1 serving
120 calories
25 calories from fat
1g of saturated fat
0g trans fat
0mg cholesterol

The biggest downside is 12g of sugar, but that's still doing better than most sweet snacks.

I love these bars because they are tasty and filling. They are a "healthy" alternative to the tempations in your local vending machine.

Cheers!
