Disclaimer: I received sample CLIF Bars for the purposes of this review. All opinions are my own.
I always feel like I’m on the move. Whether it’s playing with my son at the park, going out for a run with my dog, or commuting around town by bike, I’m on the go. Snacks bars have always been a convenient way for me to fuel up during my active moments. Recently, I tried out CLIF Organic Trail Mix Bars to see how they could fit into my active lifestyle.
Not Your Regular Granola Bar
The first thing to note about CLIF Organic Trail Mix Bars is that they differ from a regular granola bar by being gluten-free. In fact, they contain no oats!
Nutritious and Satisfying
CLIF Organic Trail Mix Bars are made with wholesome, organic ingredients including organic fruit, roasted nuts and dark chocolate chunks. To be honest, I think these bars had me at the sight of dark chocolate!
In terms of nutrition, each CLIF Organic Trail Mix Bar contains 3-4 of fibre per 40 g bar. The nuts in the bar provide the main fibre content. Each bar has 200 calories, 17 g of sugar and contains 6% daily intake of iron.
What I Tried
On a morning jog with my dog along the seawall, I stopped by the beach and tried the coconut almond peanut and the dark chocolate cherry almond. I’m a fan of coconut so the coconut almond peanut bar fits my taste. It was just delicious with the organic peanuts and organic coconuts.
The dark chocolate cherry almond is made of organic dark chocolate and deep red organic cherries. The cherry flavour was subtle and not overwhelming.
The dark chocolate pomegranate raspberry was enjoyed on a sunny day at the park.
For a super nutty flavour, I would recommend the dark chocolate peanut butter. The dark chocolate almond sea salt was a lovely mix of sweet and salty.
Where to Buy
