Clif Builder's bars have become a staple in my pantry and daily life. When looking for a protein bar, I weigh heavily whether or not the product is low in sugar, keeps me full, tastes good, and also doesn't feel like I'm eating plastic. After surveying a wide array of protein bars, I have decided the Clif Builder bar is my favorite. I buy these on sale at grocery stores, but also purchase them in bulk through online vendors such as Amazon to get price discounts.
Clif bars are low enough in sugar that they do not make my heart race. They are gentle on my digestive tract and cause no bloating discomfort. The bars keep me full for a LONG time. Sometimes I will eat half, then eat the other half later. No matter what, these bars are perfect for on-the-go meal replacement or snacking. I do not have rebound cravings for sugar or other foods after I have eaten and digested the bars. I have tried many protein bars and detest the plasticy textures. Some bars simply smell like whey protein powder. The Clif bars mask these proteiny smells and textures well while still maintaining low sugar and aren't too sweet. If the bar is truly made out of plasticy protein like all the other bars, Clif Builder bars masks it very well. There is a crunchy layer, and a more caramelly layer. There is just the right amount of chocolate to balance out the flavor.
Chocolate is probably my second favorite flavor. The chocolate peanut butter and chocolate hazelnut pretty much take the cake. But I would have a chocolate Clif Builder bar over any other snack bar. Even the regular Clif bars are too sugary and gross for me, and leave me feeling both hungry and dissatisfied.
Bottom line: Clif Builder bars are an excellent meal replacement option for many reasons, they will fill you up for hours and taste much better than the other options on the market
A word of caution: If you purchase these protein bars online in the summer, there is a possibility that they will arrive melted. This has happened to me before and is a great tragedy. There's nothing worse than a ruined, melty Clif bar. Especially since they are expensive and I depend on them to meet my caloric requirements. Make sure you do not leave your bars in a hot car or the sun! I have learned this lesson the hard way too many times.

Taste great!
These taste great. They have 20 grams of protein each. Great meal on the go replacement, health boost, or substitute for that candy bar or chocolate craving. My family has tried a lot of different protein bars. These are among the best tasting. We will definetly buy them again.
