Clif Bars?

How many of you eat them as a snack?

I've never really been an energy/protein bar type of guy...I prefer fruit and yogurt for my snacks.

However, I'm going to try my first Clif Bar today.

    I have the blueberry crunch ones today. I eat them for breakfast, not as a snack. But I do enjoy them. :)

    Thanks for the input. I've heard people rave about Clif Bars but I've never tired one; I figured I should see what all the fuss is about :-)

    They're a little higher in cal/carbs/sugars than the average bear, but it's not too terribly bad.

    They're pretty good and filling. I ate them a lot last year when I was balancing school and 2 jobs so I would be gone for 14+ hours a day and wanted to pack (and carry) most of what I ate without access to a refrigerator. They have a huge variety of flavors so you won't get bored.

    I'm not a fan. Even their "builder bars" are really for endurance athletes, and they don't taste absolutely fantastic, so they offer nothing I want in my life. I'll just have a candy bar if I want that sort of concentrated calorie hit.

    Agree. I tried the chocolate chip flavor and, overall, I wasn't impressed; they're a little too sugary for me. I'll just stick with fruit/yougurt from now on.

    I have just discovered the Nature Valley protein chewy granola bars. They are affordable: 10 for about $5. They have 6 g of sugar and 10 g of protein. I am chocaholic and am totally satisfied. I like the peanut butter, dark chocolate one.

    super high in sugar. i appreciate that they're made with good ingredients, but there are better options.
