Product Description

Flavor: Cranberry Apple Cherry

From the Manufacturer
To perform your best, you need great-tasting, convenient nutrition. That’s why Clif uses healthy ingredients, such as organic rolled oats, organic roasted soybeans, organic milled flaxseed, and organic soy flour in its energy bars. All 13 Clif Bar flavors are made with 70 percent organic ingredients. This mix of carbohydrates, protein, and fiber make Clif bars a moderate glycemic index food. You’ll benefit from a steady increase in blood sugar levels, followed by a gradual decline (in other words, sustained energy).

Eat a Clif Bar one or two hours before a workout or race. Get the energy boost you need, without the inevitable crash that follows a sugar high from refined ingredients and sweeteners. In addition, the product's 4-to-1 ratio of carbohydrates to protein makes it the perfect post-workout recovery snack.

4.0 out of 5 stars High Energy Food for High Energy People, September 4, 2006

By	Lonnie E. Holder "The Review's the Thing" (Columbus, Indiana, United States) - See all my reviews (TOP 100 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

If you burn lots of calories in your activities, this high energy food could give you a lift. There are 250 calories packed into this little 2.4 ounce bar, which is advertised to be at least 70% organic. This bar is advertised to be for athletes first, and as a casual snack second. If you are overweight and trying to drop pounds, you can skip this snack and move back to unbuttered popcorn.

When I opened this bar I noticed that it looks like compressed goop. However, the compressed goop tastes pretty good. The texture is much like a granola bar, though more moist than a granola bar. The black cherry part of the black cherry almond is understated. There are dried cherries in this mix rather than artificial cherry flavor, which is a big plus. I was unable to find anything in this bar that implied it was artificial, which is an even bigger plus.

One thing that confused me a little is that the bar is advertised to have no wheat and no dairy, but the label on the bar states that there may be trace amounts of dairy. I guess they either knew there might be a very small amount of dairy or they were hedging themselves because of possible cross-contamination from some other process. In either case, vegens consider whether trace amounts of dairy makes this an acceptable product. The label also states that there may be traces of peanuts.

This bar also contains 20% of the daily recommended dietary fiber, which means drinking lots of water is a good idea when eating this bar. There are also lots of vitamins and trace elements, which may be a good thing unless you take vitamin supplements, in which case you may need to consider whether you are getting too much of a good thing.

Clif Bars could be a casual snack, but the ingredients and their marketing really suggest that they are geared toward individuals that are looking for a healthy energy boost in high energy activities. If you fall into that category, which could include hiking, climbing, bicycling, running, jogging, and other similarly strenuous activities, then this bar could be a good way of packing a big punch in a small package.

This review is based on a sample of the product provided to me by Amazon.

Enjoy!

1.0 out of 5 stars Beware of stale bars from Amazon!, January 31, 2008

By	Masrawee (san jose, ca United States) - See all my reviews

This was my second time buying Cliff bars from Amazon. The batch I got last year worked out, so I tried again this year. I got the chocolate brownie and the variety pack. This time, they tasted horrible! I checked the packaging, and the last sell by date is less than 10 weeks after I received them. No wonder they tasted like dry card board! Beware of Amazon's tricks.. I am sending these back and I dare the Amazon rep's to try them!
