5.0 out of 5 stars They are ENERGY Bars, not snacks, August 19, 2009

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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great! I do have flavor preferences...., June 24, 2008

Some of the complaints about the Clif bars seem kind of silly to me. These aren't meant to be all that you eat during the day. They're a filling 250 calorie snack or a decent breakfast with some juice or fruit . They have 5 grams or so of fiber and 10 grams or so of protein, which is great. Um, yes they have salt and fat, but not large amounts. They are 20% fat, which is great unless you're on an extremely low-fat diet. They have 6% of your daily sodium, so if you ate 8 clif bars to get yourself 2000 calories for the day, you'd have less than half the recommended sodium maximum. They are dairy-free and wheat-free (but not gluten-free, per their own website due to oats and barley malt). They're not that expensive when you consider the size and the "special ingredients." But, if you don't need to avoid dairy and wheat, they are a bit pricey. As has been mentioned, they are on the dense side, but not exceedingly so, and they're less chewy than a granola bar.

So far, I've tried 6 flavors of Clif bars. In order of preference, they are: cool mint chocolate, chocolate peanut butter crunch, oatmeal raisin walnut, black cherry almond, chocolate chip, peanut butter crunch. All of them were fine, and I could eat them, but the peanut butter crunch was a bit too sweet for my tastes. The chocolate chip was fine, but didn't impress me as much as the others. The remaining 4 I'd buy again. My favorite, the cool mint chocolate bars have a subtle mint taste, definitely there, but not overly strong. These aren't super sweet like a cookie, but do have a nice taste. The black cherry almond reminds me of a nutri-grain bar in flaor. The chocolate peanut butter crunch and oatmeal raisin almond both are not too sweet and a nice flavor.

I do wish that Amazon had a real variety pack, like with 1-2 bars each of all the flavors. And, it'd be nice if Amazon sold a single 12-pack, as 24 of the same kind is A LOT. The only reason I was willing to risk getting 24 each of 2 new flavors I'd never had was that they had a special offer on energy bars at the time, so that I got extra money off. At regular price, I'd be unlikely to be willing to buy 24 of the same kind in an unknown flavor. The fact that you have to buy 24 identical bars (except for the variety pack which has 8 each of 3 similar flavors) is what made this review 4 star instead of 5 star.

This review is from: Clif Bar Energy Bar, White Chocolate Macadamia Nut, 2.4-Ounce Bars, Pack of 12 (Health and Beauty)

Vegan. Natural. Kosher. Made with 70% Organic Ingredients. I am a big fan of vegan (white) chocolate and macadamia nuts. I also like many varieties of Clif Bars. So what could be better than a White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Clif Bar?! Finely chopped mac pieces are blended into a dense, chewy, & satisfying energy bar. Small chunks of white chocolate and drizzle topping give a nicely sweet flavor. Prominent vanilla flavor note is enjoyable. Also try warming the bar slightly for a dreamy soft treat. 240 Calories per bar. Kosher D from processing on shared equipment. Hopefully Amazon will keep this flavor in stock for all to enjoy. Highly recommended. This review is out there for those for whom this makes a difference. See all of my reviews and the vegancompassion Profile for more great choices.
