Has anyone noticed an improvement on their general energy levels after eating a clif bar? I've only done this a few times, but I seem to run better if I have a bar about an hour before I go for a run. Is it mental or does anyone else experience this?

    I like to eat Larabars before my workouts or just as a snack.

    Not enough to keep you awake though, it's just in the chocolate I thought

    Yup, i have the chocolate mint ones.
    I had decided to try the quest bars that everyone keeps talking about but what a mistake! So just went back to my Cliff bars today!

    I generally have one on my rest stop during my long rides on the weekends. I also pack them when I'm hiking. They are a great boost of energy...nice quick carbs.

    I usually have on for breakfast and it keeps me full until just about lunch time, so I don't snack in between. I love them.

    I had one for the first time yesterday. I had plenty of energy to bust through my lifting sessions. I couldn't believe it. I picked me up some more today.

    You can also get them at Costco, 24 for about $20.
