Organic Oats Chocolate Brownie CLIF BAR Energy Bars

Cat C.: Love Clif bars so much, and I think this flavor is one of the best. Consistently chewy, chocolatey, and energizing. If you want a sweet treat that actually gives you energy, try this. Watch out for the sugar content in it though, especially if you're trying to lose weight.

tl;dr

Pros: Actually delicious, not powdery or chalky as other energy bars often fall into this trap
Cons: Sugar content, pricey

pleinelune: I am going to start with cons.

OK, so it's NOT exactly just like a brownie! If you're expecting it to be like one, you will be disappointed. But that would seem an unrealistic expectation.

PROS: LOTS of them

STRONG COCOA TASTE - I like at least I am getting the cocoa fix. It's really pretty freaking good.

FRESH - I was concerned as getting a box of 12, these can get hard with age. SUPER FRESH! I squeezed one through the wrapping and it was obviously fresh. Has a moistness I love.

BETTER for me than a BROWNIE! - so sure, not like a decadent brownie, BUT much lower in fat and calories, higher in fiber and protein.

FREAKING FILLING! - Granted there is a definite kind of fiber thing going, but not bad. But again, overall, chocolate fix, low fat, low cal, and FILLING. This and a small glass of almond milk and I'm full. Comes in handy when you don't have time or are busy and can't get to other food. Which brings me to -

CONVENIENT - for those times you just can't take a break or get near other food (and vending machine doesn't count), this is SO handy to keep in your bag or desk

COST - I GOT 12 for about TEN BUCKS - DELIVERED FREE...

Scott E. High: At this size and 250 calories per bar, I have found this CLIF Bar to be a good substitute for a quick meal on the run. I often work outside for long stretches so I hate to interrupt my progress to go inside and prepare something to eat. Since I have a refrigerator in the basement I have all I need to eat and stay hydrated handy.

The only drawback I can give you is the 21 grams of sugar. If you have a sugar problem this is not the treat for you. On the other hand I burn so many calories when I work outside in the Florida heat and humidity that it becomes a non-event for me. Good job CLIF but perhaps you can use stevia or some other safe sugar substitute.

My back-up for this is the Blueberry Crisp bar. That is the original formulation from Clif and seems to be the most popular. It is very tasty, makes you satisfied, and might cost a little more because of the constant demand. Either one will do you proud.

Elle: NOT AT SWEET AS THE MACADAMIA WHITE CHOCOLATE BUT THE AMOUNT OF PERFECT SWEET. IT HAS AN EARTHY COFFEE TASTE LIKE REAL SEMI SWEET CHOCOLATE OR DARK CHOCOLATE(BUT WAY BETTER THAN SEMI SWEET!) NOT LIKE THE OVERLY SWEET FATTY MILK CHOCOLATE. I HAD TWO TODAY ONE FOR LUNCH AND ONE FOR DINNER. I USE IT TO LESSEN THE AMOUNT THAT I ATE FOR LUNCH FOR INSTANCE.
NOT AS PRETTY AS THE MACADAMIA BUT I AM ABOUT THE TASTE NOT THE LOOKS! I HAVE TO ADMIT I HESITATED WHEN I OPENED THE WRAPPER LOL IT LOOKS LIKE WHAT YOUR BODY WOULD EXPEL AFTER EATING A LOT OF OREOS LOL. IT LOOKS BURNED BUT WAS SURPRISINGLY CHEWY LOL. I DO NOTICE THEY ARE SLIGHTLY SMALLER 230 CAL AND ONLY 40 CAL FAT SURPRISING SINCE IT'S TASTES ALMOST AS GOOD AS THE MACADAMIA. I DON'T FEEL TO BAD FOR EATING TWO IN A DAY. TODAY WAS MY FIRST DAY. USUALLY THEY ARE 260 AND 50 -60 CAL FAT EACH.
OATMEAL RAISIN CLIFF BARS FALLS LIKE A BRICK IN MY STOMACH, BUT THAT IS THE ONLY GOOD THING ABOUT IT. TASTE WISE IT'S A HECK NO.

CHOCOLATE BROWNIE IS A HELL YES!!!
I WANT TO TRY CARROT CAKE AND BANANA NUT BREAD NOW!
