Protein: The Immune System Booster Nobody likes to have their training derailed because of a cold, flu, or fatigue. Because protein is essential for producing red blood cells and antibodies that resist infection, Clif Builder's Chocolate Bars can help you get the amount of protein you need to stay in the game. About Clif Bar & Company: Sustaining People and the Environment Clif Bar & Company is committed to creating delicious, organic foods that are healthy for people and the planet.

Protein comes from both plants and animals, but not all protein is created equally. The protein found in Clif Builder's Bars is free of antibiotics, hormones and genetic modifications, giving you a valuable investment in your total body health. So while an extra lean top sirloin steak or an organic chicken breast are great sources of protein, it's not always convenient to throw those in your briefcase or gym bag. That's why it's helpful to have a Clif Builder's Chocolate Bar on hand as a portable source of great-tasting natural protein that has ingredients you know and trust. Make Protein Work Harder For You Staying healthy boils down to two simple ingredients: regular exercise and proper nutrition. Being active and eating healthy foods are no-brainers, but all too often people overlook the importance of getting enough protein in their diets. Virtually every part of your body needs protein to stay healthy, and when you work out, you especially need protein because your body is breaking down and repairing tissue. The best time to grab a Clif Builder's Chocolate Bar is within 30 minutes of completing a workout or competition--the protein helps your muscles recover quickly and gets you ready for the next training session. More protein also helps your body repair cuts, wounds, strains, stress fractures, broken bones, and other problems, which shortens the time you'll be on the sideline. Build Your Brain with Clif Builder's Have a big meeting coming up? Need to write a report? Grab a Clif Builder's Chocolate Bar and get the brain boost you need to make it through. The protein in the bar helps keep your brain working properly. Brain cells talk to each other via messengers that are made up of amino acids, the building blocks of protein. Therefore, what you eat affects which neurons will be firing, and that in turn affects whether you'll feel energized or sluggish.

5.0 out of 5 stars Clif Builder Bar is the Savior, August 7, 2006

This review is from: Clif Bar Builder's Bar, Chocolate, 2.4-Ounce Bars, Pack of 12 (Health and Beauty)

I'm 26m, 6' 185 and growing. Work out regularly, mostly weights and basketball. I'm allergic to peanuts, which makes most protein bars off-limits for me. This is the only bar I've found where the non-peanut flavors don't contain trace amounts of peanuts to set off my allergies. Incredible, if for only that reason. But there's more.

20g of protein. Wow. This can be a meal replacement if you're on the road or it can be the mid-morning, early-evening or even late-night snack, especially if you're trying to build lean muscle and shooting for 1.5 or more grams of protein per pound of body weight. It's an easy 20.

The carbs are real, as another review says. It's clean energy, to be effective either before or after a workout. I prefer to take in liquid protein after a workout, the body absorbs it faster, but in a pinch this would be a great choice. Beyond that it's a little crispy and a little chewy, there's a physical satisfaction from eating it that makes the experience complete. But, as another review said, this isn't intended to be a diet bar, it is for men & women who work hard and use lots of energy throughout the day, hence the name "Builders Bar." I guess if you ate half of one instead of a meal, it might work that way.

Finally the taste is outstanding, when stacked against other bars (although I haven't tried many, due to peanut allergies). If you close your eyes and pretend, it really could be a dessert. I stick to the cookies & cream or chocolate. Chocolate is yummy dunked in hot coffee mid-morning.

I buy a box every two weeks and keep stocked at home, work and oftentimes one in the car just in case I get hungry. Another review said the outside chocolate got crumbly, this is true, if it gets hot and melted. When the things solidify they crumble. Doesn't change the taste but it's messy. Keep them cool and you're in good shape. I've even tried putting them in the freezer prior to eating, not bad but no significant difference.

Thank you Clif!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for immediate refueling after Bike Ride., July 31, 2006

This review is from: Clif Bar Builder's Bar, Chocolate, 2.4-Ounce Bars, Pack of 12 (Health and Beauty)

I read in Bicycling magazing that riders who ingest protien within the first 15 minutes of completing a ride, have faster muscle recovery rates and are in better shape for the next day.

Last year I was always sore the next day after a long ride. After reading this article, I box some Clif Builder Bars due to their high protien content (20g). I have since been religiously eating them after each ride. I have yet to have sore muscles yet this year.

In one of the local stores there is a Chocolate Mint flavor. It is yummy.

I bought these because I love the regular Clif bars. I ride my bike to/from work, so I thought I would use these as a kind of "breakfast replacement". They taste very good and they definitely hold you over until lunch. Although, I highly recommend having a glass of cold milk handy to wash it down.
