CLIF BAR - Energy Bars - Chocolate Chip - (2.4 Ounce Protein Bars, 12 Count) (Packaging May Vary)

Todo

To start off, I'd say I love cliff bars. I've tried all the different protein bars and almost all of them tasted pretty bad no matter what I tried to have with them. Only a few were edible. I never tried cliff bars at that time, about a year ago, and I avoided them because of their sugar content, as well as the low protein compared to other bars, and even low fiber compared to some. But then I went vegan. After I went vegan, I didn't have many options when it came to protein bars. There were a few, but they were the same terrible taste as most others, and they were expensive. So I didn't have many options, and I didn't have much money to keep up the $2-3/bar habit that I was on before I went vegan, and tried a little after gong vegan. Then I noticed a cliff bar for $1.25 in the store, looked on the back, and I figured "hey it's not that healthy but I'll try it anyway, it still has some protein and vitamins." Obviously my opinion has came far from that since then. I now believe this is one of the healthiest protein bars or energy bars you can purchase. It is the healthiest you can on a budget. It is the most readily available one as well. This is especially true now that I've started cycling more and more, and I really could use the sugar, as well as since I've learned about the harmful health effects of whey protein (which is where the protein in most bars come from), even compared to soy protein, which is in this product. That is the only downside to this product I can think of, the soy protein, as it has a higher IGF-1 promoting effect in the human body. Non-scientifically speaking, this translates to a higher rate of cancer growth if you develop cancer. It's less promoting than whey, so it is better than other protein supplements you'd likely be eating, but it'd be better to have pea protein. In relation to my other fear, the lack of fiber compared to other bars, this was not a good concern as the fiber in cliff bars is natural non-added fiber and thus is better for your intestines and for bulking than added fiber like most protein bars use. In short - For the price, ingredients, nutrition, taste, and ease of access, I believe this is the single best protein bar on the market. Pro-tip: The healthiest cliff bar nutritionally is the oatmeal raisin walnut by the way, if you're a health nut, it has the best omega-3 to omega-6 ratios. As a final side-note/disclaimer, as I dislike nuts, you can't taste the nuts in most cliff bars, at least not in an over-powering way, which I like because I really don't like nuts.

Ich kenne die Clif Bars seit Jahren und greife immer wieder darauf zurück – vor allem, wenn ich lange Läufe, Wanderungen oder einfach einen schnellen Energiebooster brauche. Der Chocolate Chip gehört für mich zu den besten Sorten. Geschmack: Schokoladig, süß, aber nicht so künstlich wie viele andere Riegel. Man merkt die Haferbasis, was ihn natürlicher macht. Konsistenz: Relativ fest, aber genau das mag ich. Kein Matsch, kein klebriges Zeug an den Fingern. Lässt sich gut essen – auch draußen beim Sport oder im Auto. Sättigung: Der Riegel hat ordentlich Kalorien (klar, ist ein Energieriegel), aber er macht richtig lange satt. Perfekt für Trainingstage, Nachmittagslöcher oder wenn man unterwegs ist und keine richtige Mahlzeit bekommt. Energieeffekt: Ich nutze ihn vor langen Läufen oder Wanderungen – gibt spürbar konstant Energie, ohne Zuckerabsturz danach. Fazit: Kräftiger, zuverlässiger Energieriegel mit gutem Geschmack und richtig Power. Nicht für Diäten – aber für Sport, Alltag und unterwegs absolut top.

I love Clif Bars These are best as a snack during long duration high exertion activities, such as hiking, mountaineering, or other activities depicted on Clif Bar packaging. Enough simple and complex carbs to give short term and longer term energy. And they taste good enough that they are very palatable even if I'm suffering from altitude sickness and it's hard to stomach other food. Also pretty good snacks for sitting at my desk at work, airplanes, or just on a long day. Too much sugar to be an actual healthy meal replacement I always buy the flavor that's cheapest at the moment, but that said, here's a list of my favorite flavors: 1.) Sierra Trail Mix 2.) Nuts and Seeds 3.) Chocolate Chip Peanut Crunch 4.) Oatmeal Raisin Walnut 5.) Chocolate Coconut 6.) Chocolate Almond Fudge 7) Chocolate Chip 8.) Cool Mint Chocolate 9.) Chocolate Brownie 10.) Carrot Cake 11.) White Chocolate Macadamia Nut 12.) Blueberry Crisp 13.) Apricot

Besten Energieriegel überhaupt 👍🏼
