Clif Bars...all their brands!

I love these, regular Clifs, Mojo’s, Builders, even the Luna’s. Here’s the question:

  • these things are made with only natural ingredients. Yet the Builders bar has 4.5 grams of saturated fat. That seems kind of high for an all natural bar to me. Anyone know why this is?

Also, anyone whose kids have tried the zBars and the ShotDrinks, any feed back on how you (or your kids) liked them is appreciated.

Like I said, I love these bars. Taste good, and compared to other bars, very VERY good for you.

Thanks for any insight.

I don’t have one in front of me, but my guess on the fat source is peanuts.

If you haven’t tried the Cliff Bloks yet, try those next. They are great.

My daughter and I love the Z bar and ditto on the bloks. Cliff Bar is a sponser of her tri team and at the beginning of the season they gave the team lots of their product. We’re all hooked.

Except that they obviously contain some very highly addictive substance. They’re my new favorite candy! :-0

LOVE Cliff bars! Not very insightful, I know. Cliff bars are Vegan, so the fat source must be nuts. I think Builders use Whey protein, if I’m not mistaken. So they might have milk fat in them as well. I’ve never bought one, so I haven’t checked out the nutritional info.

My insight is to have another Cliff Bar dude. I just ate a rack of ribs, a few glasses of wine, bananas foster for dinner (a great one might I add) and have little concern, or pity, for those who are asking about the saturated fat in Cliff Bars. Though I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night. Maybe the ST Dweeb Force (or ST limp lurkers) can chime in here. I know I saw a comarison matrix last year on here about around 40 different “bars” and what happens when you eat them depending on sex, height, weight, time of day, bite pattern, drag coefficeints if eaten on bike or running, et al.

Like the Best Buy “Blue Shirts” we gotta love our ST Dweeb Force. Where, or where would be be without them and their slugishly silly (and sardonic) reviews on very germane and important topics like this.

Hawaii, here I come!

Peace out!

i don’t need your concern or pity, son.

I just was curious as to why the sat. fat was so high if it was made naturally. and get some opinions on the other products.

Seemingly arrogant responses like this are why I visit this board so infrequently…

Actually amusing posts like yours are precisely why I visit this forum so frequantly, pal (lol).

There are many natural sources of sat. fat
Coconut is one

A quick check of the ingredients will likely give you an answer.

Most people are good with around 20-25g of sat fat a day so eat accordingly
