ClifBuilder's Protein Bars (Box of 12)(Return to Product Page)

Almost 'food-like'. If you are going for 6 or more hours, one of these will satisfy certain hungers other bars can not. They can be overly tar consistency, and the chocolate coating melts in summer.

Another bar loaded with seed oils. Seed oils are highly inflammatory and are toxic in your body over time. Do your research the facts are there and you will be shocked. We as consumers need to stand up and start demanding better quality food. Hard Pass

I eat Clif Builder Bars after rides and workouts. Having protein directly after strenuous workouts helps build muscle. Builder bars are a convenient source for that protein and they taste pretty good, too. I like cookies and cream.

Reasonably priced mid-afternoon snack to get me through my evening workout or ride.

I've been trying various types of protein bars to try and maximize my recovery after longer rides (4 hours) and moderate hikes (6-8 hours) and find the Clif version kind of heavy compared to some others I've tried. The texture is pretty much what you'd expect from a protein bar, and the taste is ok, but I have trouble getting through a whole bar without my stomach feeling like it'll explode.

These bars taste pretty good--not as sweet as a candy bar--and are mostly real food. I'm personally fond of the Cookies N Cream flavor.
