Clif Bar Builder's Bar, Vanilla Almond, 12 - 2.4-Ounce Bars Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I love Clif builder bars for breakfast and I thought buying in bulk would be the way to go. So I placed an order and then it arrived a few days later. The shipping trucks must have been really hot as all the chocolate like coating on the outside melted off and stuck to the wrapper making them messy to eat.
I would think to buy again - but not is summer

If you want to get more protein in your diet, but you don't want to sacrifice the benefits of all-natural ingredients or great taste, then the Clif Builder's Bar is the perfect choice for you. With 20 grams of 100% natural protein from soy and nuts, and with no trans fats or hydrogenated oils, this dipped double-decker bar is delicious and nutritious. When it's chocolate and protein you need, this is the bar you want.

Natural Protein? Naturally! Protein comes from both plants and animals, but not all protein is created equally. The protein found in Clif Builder's Bars is free of antibiotics, hormones and genetic modifications, giving you a valuable investment in your total body health.
So while an extra lean top sirloin steak or an organic chicken breast are great sources of protein, it's not always convenient to throw those in your briefcase or gym bag. That's why it's helpful to have a Clif Builder's Bar on hand as a portable source of great-tasting natural protein that has ingredients you know and trust.
Make Protein Work Harder For You Staying healthy boils down to two simple ingredients: regular exercise and proper nutrition. Being active and eating healthy foods are no-brainers, but all too often people overlook the importance of getting enough protein in their diets. Virtually every part of your body needs protein to stay healthy, and when you work out, you especially need protein because your body is breaking down and repairing tissue.
The best time to grab a Clif Builder's Bar is within 30 minutes of completing a workout or competition--the protein helps your muscles recover quickly and gets you ready for the next training session. More protein also helps your body repair cuts, wounds, strains, stress fractures, broken bones, and other problems, which shortens the time you'll be on the sideline.
Build Your Brain with Clif Builder's Have a big meeting coming up? Need to write a report? Grab a Clif Builder's Bar and get the brain boost you need to make it through. The protein in the bar helps keep your brain working properly. Brain cells talk to each other via messengers that are made up of amino acids, the building blocks of protein. Therefore, what you eat affects which neurons will be firing, and that in turn affects whether you'll feel energized or sluggish.

Fullbites Packs 6 ea Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)To me if it's supposed to be healthy AND filling I expected them to taste like cardboard...maybe the bag I got was fresher than the reviewer who felt they tasted stale or like a rice cake because I actually REALLY enjoyed these...even if they weren't filling I would have found them great for the amount you get for only 150 calories. (a really full bag). Mine were crisp and had a nice mild sour cream and onion flavor.
I actually just picked them up at Walgreens where they were 50% off because I was famished running work errands but they are currently cheaper here (at the time of my review they run under 2 bucks each here with no tax...although the price fluctuates depending upon the seller so this may change eventually.) Anyway, I liked them enough to see if Amazon had the automatic delivery of them with the auto-delivery discount, but they did not.
I would love it if they were even cheaper but I am impressed with how filling they are without un-natural additives, they are full of fiber, and I liked the taste. I probably won't stock up on them as often as I would if they lowered the price a bit more, but I'll, most assuredly, keep em around.
It should be noted: These aren't exactly calorie free so I can't say I entirely "get" the premise of eating these right before a meal because 150 calories before every meal could add up fast even if you ate slightly less at the meal, it may not result in a loss. I, therefore, would choose these for a snack in between healthy meals and it did keep me satisfied. For others it may help them adjust the meal size enough to cause a loss. Also I was surprised to notice they are high in protein too
Update: The more I have these the more surprised I am how extremely filling they are. If I keep drinking water, it seems as though they just keep expanding and keep me full. As someone into working out, I try to eat tiny healthy meals every few hours to keep my metabolism up but my body, with my energy, also seems to always want food even when I shouldn't eat it. I am always hungry at meal time. Yet, I actually bypassed dinner a few times after eating these. I NEVER do that. Just to be healthy, I ate some veggies but I eat high fiber meals all the time without that result...so I am now a fan.
I have not yet tried the other flavors.

Clif Bar Energy Bars Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Clif Bars are high-density energy bars, designed to replace the fuel your body needs during demanding workouts. I use them during adventure racing, mountain climbing, and kayaking. They are excellent compared to all the other "power" type bars that are available. These are not "healthy snacks" for couch potatoes to smack on while watching TV. Do that and it'll end up on your butt! Used for the intended purpose, and when purchased fresh, these deserve the 5-star rating I've given.
I buy the variety pack at my local [...], and the price is lower than Amazon's gold box special price. The other advantage of purchasing food in a brick and mortar store is that you can verify the product expiration date. Several reviewers complained about this product being stale and/or out-dated. I've purchased other food products from Amazon and have also noted they are pushing close to the expiration date, meaning that one needs to consume a case of food within a week or two before it expires. Buyer beware.

Kirkland SIgnature Wholesome Fruit and Nuts Value Bag 30 Ounces Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My wife and I recently picked up a 30-ounce bag of Kirkland Signature Wholesome Fruit & Nuts at our local warehouse store. We use things like this as a relatively healthy snack, in contrast to the more common salty or sugar-laden snacks. I also add small baggies of the mixture with my lunch which I carry to work so as to avoid the food court offerings. This stuff is excellent! The nuts include almonds, walnuts and pistachios and they mix surprisingly well together. The dried fruits look a lot like raisons, but they are dried cranberries and cherries. The tastes are excellent in themselves and blend very well with the nut mixture. The total effect is one of the best fruit/nut mixtures I can ever remember having. The mixture had a very fresh taste, I might add. They're good enough that I tend to overindulge, so we have to be careful. Outstanding!

Luna Sunrise Nutrition Bars, 1.69-Ounce Bars (Pack of 15) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)these are definately the best energy bars! they only fall short taste-wise to the heavy cookies & cream promax sports bars. since i am vegan now, the promax bars are off limits, making this luna bar my number one choice. 70% organic and no animal products. this luna bar is unlike the all of the others in taste and texture. if you don't like any of the other luna bars, give this one a try.
this flavor is much sweeter than the nutrtion label would leave you to believe. at times i think it is a bit to sweet for me but this bar would definately be perfect for anyone on the standard american diet. it is pleasantly chewy, not rubbery like power bars. the bar has an "icing" coating much thicker and more flavorful than the small drizzles on the other luna bars and still shares just about the same nutrition label as the others. while i wouldn't quite consider it a protein bar, it is great fuel for a workout or an on-the-go breakfast. other luna flavors that i recommend are iced oatmeal raisin, pecan pie, peanutbutter cookie and cookies and cream. i would not recommend chai tea.

Gnu Foods - Gnu Bar Cinnamon Raisin, 16 bars Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I tried these bars on the recommendation of a food review site. I have one word to describe them - WOW! I bought a sample package of each of the five flavors (offered on the manufacturers site gnufoods.com), and while I appreciated the nutrition of the bars, I didn't really like the first four flavors. I tried the cinnamon raisin last and fell in love on the spot. It's like a soft cinnamon rasin cookie. The texture is great - soft and chewy. The taste is more then I could hope for from a fiber bar, and at 130 calories - these are a great addition to any diet.
If you are thinking about trying them - stop wasting time and pick them up! I really recommend trying the 5 flavor sampler first, since we all have different tastes's (my mother doesn't like the cinnamon raisin but loves the banana walnut).
It tastes good AND is good for me? It doesn't get much better then this!

Everlast Energy Bar - Peanut Butter Chocolate Crunch (12 pk.) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I first tried these as samples given away at my gym. I was very pleasantly surprised at how good they are! They were more chocolate-y than I expected and kept me full for a good while. They are very light, unlike a lot of energy bars, and don't leave that weird, grainy feeling in your mouth after you're done eating (I think Clif bars have this quality). Will definitely have again!

Clif Organic Chocolate Brownie Zbar ( 6x7.62 OZ) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is one of the best-tasting energy/snack bars I've tried. It has true flavors (think a chewy chocolate brownie with small chocolate chips), little or no "off" flavors or aftertastes, and it's relatively filling, especially if accompanied by water or an additional quick snack, such as fruit. It's a small bar, but it's packed with 3 grams of fiber (12% of daily needs based on a 2,000 calorie diet), and it's certified 95% organic. These organic ingredients include organic rolled oats, organic oat Flour, organic oat fiber, organic and milled flaxseed, and actual natural flavors. Even the sweet stuff is organic:, including organic chocolate (made with--you guessed it--organic evaporated cane juice), soy butter, cocoa powder, cocoa butter, tapioca syrup, and fig paste. CLIF's website proclaims that "CLIF ZBar is the first kids' snack created to comply with SB-19, California's Senate Bill limiting fat and sugar in foods offered within the state's school system...We source ingredients which do not contain wheat and are not genetically engineered." Although aimed at kids, adults and teens will enjoy this as well.
Ingredients: Organic Rolled Oats, Organic Chocolate Chips (Organic Evaporated Cane Juice, Organic Unsweetened Chocolate, Organic Cocoa Butter, Soy Lecithin, Natural Flavors), Organic Evaporated Cane Juice Syrup, Organic Brown Rice Syrup, Organic Tapioca Syrup, Organic Fig Paste, Organic Oat Flour, Organic Cocoa Powder, Organic Soy Butter, Natural Flavors, Organic Oat Fiber, Organic Milled Flaxseed, Organic Chocolate (Organic Evaporated Cane Juice, Organic Unsweetened Chocolate, Organic Cocoa Butter, Soy Lecithin), Salt, Baking Soda. For those with allegies, CLIF includes the following caution "Contains soy. May contain traces of milk, peanuts and other nuts."
Vitamins & Minerals: Calcium Carbonate, Ascorbic Acid (Vit. C), Niacinamide (Vit. B3), Ferric Orthophosphate (Iron), Zinc Oxide, Cyanocobalamin (Vit. B12), Thiamine Mononitrate (Vit. B1), Pyridoxine Hydrochloride (Vit. B6), Riboflavin (Vit. B2), Folic Acid (Vit. B9), Beta Carotene (Vit A).
Nutritional Information: In one bar (36 grams) there are 120 calories, 3 grams of fat (5% of percent daily values based on a 2,000 calorie diet), of which one gram s saturated fat(but no trans fat), 0 cholesterol, 12 grams sugar, A total of 22 grams carbohydrates (7%), which includes 12 grams of sugar and 10 grams of other carbohydrates, 125 mg of sodium (4%), 110 mg. potassium(3%), 3 grams of dietary fiber (12%) and a gram of insoluble fiber, and the following vitamins and minerals: Vitamin A (6%), B1(30%), B2 (15%), B3 (20%), B6 (20%), B12 (10%), %). C (35%), Iron (10%), zinc (15%), Phosphorus (20%), and Folate (20%).I don't think there's a similar product around that can compete with the taste, purity, and nutritional value of this popular new treat.

Mojo Bar Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Sticky-gooey, of quite substantial size, with great consistency and an AWESOME blend of lots of almonds, peanuts, sunflower and pumpkin seeds, pretzel sticks, sweet raisins, and smooth dark chocolate chips. Chewy (Rice Krispy-like tear-apart consistency), but with a crunch; sweet and salty -- a very filling snack and great source of healthy fat: 8g fat (zero trans-, and only 1.5g saturated) with 7g protein and 2g fiber. Also, unlike many other "healthy"/"nutrition" snack bars, includes potassium, vitamin C, calcium, iron, magnesium. If you're sensitive to them, perhaps you'd prefer less sugar (12g) or sodium (220g), but, overall, a real treat.

Slim-Fast 3-2-1 Plan, High Protein Shake Mix, Creamy Chocolate, 12.83oz Canisters (Pack of 3) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I got this as part of an Amazon special on SlimFast, and didn't look at nutritional data at the store ahead of time. For anyone else who wants more info before purchasing, I decided to provide it, as it doesn't appear in the item description at this time.
First, taste: Good chocolate flavor, a little sweet for my tastes. I bet that's why Diane Aliprandi's kids like it better than Carnation Instant Breakfast. :-) Anyway, I tend to be a little sensitive to the sweetness of things, so take that with a grain of salt.
This is bizarre, but I've noticed that it has a little bit of an odd smell to it. Not offensive, but lingering... ??
Nutrional info (as packaged, not prepared)
Number of servings per container: 14 (1 scoop or 1/3 cup = serving)
Calories: 110
Cal from fat: 30
Total fat: 3.5
Cholesterol: < 5 mg
Sodium: 140 mg
Potassium: 200 mg
Total Carb: 13 g
Dietary Fiber: 4 g
Sugars: 6 g
Protein: 7 g
Vitamin and mineral content varies from 10% to 100% of RDA. Calcium is 20% and Iron is 30%.
The reasons I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 are (a) cost per serving, (b) the calories to protein & fiber ratio, and (c) the sweetness thing.
Another option to consider is Sugar Free Carnation Instant Breakfast Canisters, not always available in container packaging, but always available in packet form Carnation Instant Breakfast, Variety Pack, No Sugar Added, Carnation Instant Breakfast, Classic French Vanilla, No Sugar Added. The containers have 12 servings per container, 60 cal/serving, 0.5 grams of fat/serving, 12 g carb/serving, 4 g fiber/serving, and 5 g protein/serving. It is less expensive per serving than the SlimFast products (at least in container form), dissolves easier, and is sweetened primarily with Splenda. I find that it keeps me satisfied as well as anything else. I do, however, use 1-2% milk rather than skim when preparing it. Fat is definitely one of the keys to satiety, along with protein and fiber.
Update: Well, I now have to say that this does, in fact, keep me satisfied longer than Carnation Instant Breakfast.

Kirkland Signature California Pistachios, Naturally Opened, 3 lb Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I found this very large bag (4 pounds) of Kirkland Signature California Pistachios at my local warehouse store and I couldn't resist. Mmmmmm. Pistachios are one of my favorite nuts. And they have some health benefits too, or at least that's what I tell myself as they go into the shopping cart. These pistachios are excellent. Lightly salted. Nice and fresh. Good roasted flavor. What more could you ask for in a healthy snack? This huge bag won't last long.

balance CARB WELL Nutrition Energy Bar 15 ea Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)yummy. some of the best tasting protein bars available. great for low-carb dieters or diabetics if you believe in the theory that "net carbs" (carbs minus fiber, etc.) should be counted instead of just "carbs". no artificial sweeteners like sucralose, etc., which is good if you think those things may cause cancer...the low "net carbs" are due to a high amount of "sugar alcohols". these bars are best found for less than $1 per bar or $15 per 15 bar case.
ABOUT SUGAR ALCOHOLS
Sugar alcohols are usually incompletely absorbed into the blood stream from the small intestines which generally results in a smaller change in blood glucose than regular sugar (sucrose). This makes them popular sweeteners among diabetics and low-carb dieters. As with many other incompletely digestible substances (dietary fiber), overconsumption can lead to bloating, diarrhea and flatulence because they are not absorbed in the small intestine. Doesn't happen to me... Good luck.
