CLIF Builders Protein
There is no better feeling in the world than chowing down on a snack when you're hungry. But when I'm feeling famished, do CLIF Builders Protein bars sufficiently satisfy my cravings? In this product review, CLIF Builders Protein Bars will be put to the test to see if it is a quality product.
​
The CLIF brand of protein bars come from the company known as Clif Bar & Company. The creator, Gary Erickson, got the idea for CLIF bars when on a hike. His history of baking and serving as a mountain guide​ paved the perfect path for his creation.
CLIF protein bars can be purchased in a multitude of locations. It comes in many different sizes, flavors, and ingredients. There are over 20 flavors of CLIF bars.
​
In this blog I will be examining the BUILDER'S PROTEIN version of the ​CLIF bar. Specifically, the chocolate-mint and chocolate peanut-butter flavors.
​
​
Let's examine this product a little closer.
​
​
​
CLIF p​rotein bars taste pretty good. The chocolate-mint bars taste almost identical to a thin-mint girl scout cookie. However, the chocolate peanut butter CLIF bar does not taste very good. The peanut butter inside tastes like dry paper, and it feels like I'm eating wood-chip flavored goo.
​
​
The texture for CLIF bars are pretty decent. For the most part, they are soft and can be chewed easily. The chocolate-mint bars contain tiny morsels of crunchiness, which adds a nice breakup from the soft bar. However, on occasion, an entire box of chocolate-mint bars can be really tough to eat. The whole bar will be rock solid, like eating a brick. That experience is not very pleasant.
​
TUMMY FEEL
These bars have an excellent tummy feel. They fill me enough up so I can last to my next meal. They also do not leave me too full or too empty. It's a surprising balanced reached. I never feel sick or bad after I eat them.

THE 3 T's
The Verdict
CLIF BUILDERS protein bars are an excellent way to get subsistence if you are feeling hungry. Their easy portability makes it possible to have a quick snack while in a hurry. For example, they are a great item to have on long airplane rides! I can recommend the chocolate-mint bars to everyone, however, if you're looking for a peanut-butter flavor, it's best to look elsewhere.
