Product Reviews of the Clif Bar Blueberry Crisp (Box of 12)
Product Review: My favorite 'every day' nutrition bar.
Summary: 5 Stars
Clif bars are by far the best tasting nutrition bars on the market - at least to me. They come in a wide variety of flavors and each one of them is excellent. The nutrition varies slightly between flavors but here are the nutrition facts for the blueberry flavor (one of my favorites):
Calories: 240
Calories From Fat: 50
Total Fat: 5g
Saturated Fat: 0.5g
Trans Fat: 0g
Cholesterol: 0mg
Sodium: 150mg
Potassium: 250mg
Total Carb: 43g
Dietary Fiber: 5g
Sugars: 21g
Other Carb: 17g
Protein: 9g
So, as you can see nothing here screams "I'm bad for you!".
I'm in the process of dropping weight and changing my lifestyle. For my diet I consume a good amount of carbs in the morning for sustained energy and towards the end of the day I steer more towards low carb/high protein for muscle growth after working out. I avoid carbs during the least active part of my day (don't want that potential energy to store as fat overnight!). With this diet plan these bars are great for breakfast or an early day snack (I do 5-6 meals a day). You get a substantial amount of calories to help fill you up, these are low in fat, you get a good shot of carbs perfect for starting your day, a good bit of dietary fiber and you get a good bit of protein - the potassium doesn't hurt either. The only issues here are the small amount of simple carbs and also these are a little high in sugar. These bars are a bit on the sweet site so if they were a little less sweet and maybe had 10-12g sugar then they would be perfect. This is the only issue though and it's not that bad - a little sugar in the morning is okay in my book and the good far outweighs the bad. Nitpickers may scoff at the saturated fat - but it's only 1/2 a gram (4% DV).
Nutrition facts aside these bars taste great! In fact these are the best tasting bars on the market to me and I've tried them all. They are dense enough to fill you up but not too dense. Some bars force you to chew forever before you can swallow the darn thing - not here. They taste so good I almost feel sinful eating them. I bet you could break one of these bars up and roll them into little balls and serve them as a desert and people would have no idea they are consuming a nutrition bar - yes they are that good. I eat these every single day. I'm a snooze-button masher so I often end up waking up in a rush to get ready for work. My perfect breakfast is a clif bar, 8oz of Naked Green Machine juice and 1 cup of black coffee - after that I'm rearin' to go and it's super quick. Also, these are great for backpacking, hiking, camping and activities of that nature.
