Anybody else try these and think they are the best tasting bars EVER MADE?!?!. Clif does lots of stuff for me, my clinics, and my college but I will assure you that I am NOT biased on this one. If you haven't tried it....go do it ! The cookies-n-cream will blow your mind!
I am a vegan so obviously I appreciate what CLIF has done with their products. CLIF bar rocks!

I will have to try these. I have had the regular cliff bars in the past and I thought they were pretty awesome but these have even more protein which is great. Any idea of national chains that have them? Can I get them at places like Wal-mart or grocery stores like the regular Cliff Bars?

Hey Danny,
Actually, I can't find them in any stores where I live...I have a contact @ CLIF who sends me 'samples' on a regular basis 
He has told me that chain stores like Ralphs, Whole Foods, Wild oats, and may other little 'health food' stores and sport specialty stores (cycling shops etc.) presently carry them.

I get mine at my local bike shop and my local outdoor equipment shop. When I am in a bigger city (one that has an REI) I usually stock up for a while. My fave is the carrot cake one! MMMMM!

Clif rocks. Chocolate Fudge Brownie, Carrot Cake and Lemon Poppy Seed. They get me through many a race.

Outdoorboy and JP.....Have you guys tried the 'builder's bars'? They are unbelievable! While the regular Clif Bars are quite easy to find, the 'Builder's' are relatively new and still making their way into stores.

I haven't tried them (or seen them). What is their focus over the regular bars?

Basically a high protein bar (20g)....still only 270 calories per bar though (that's nice for us who tend to put away the calories!  )

It sounds like I am going to have to do a bit of digging for them. I hope I can find them. Do they have the same texture and moistness that the regular bars do? The texture has always been one of my favorite parts about the cliff bars.

Might be a great PWO option?  The ingredients did sound pretty natural, and if I remember correctly, I didn't see any high fructose corn syrup. If it wasn't for the sugar, I would have tried them all, especially since they were on sale [img]smile.gif[/img] .

I have been eating them PWO and they have been great. I work out at lunch, so it's hard to come across a blender for a shake, so I've been doing the gatorade and protein thing. These are awesome, taste great, and they don't have HFCS, but still can't replace a shake...

I just tried one of the Clif Builder Bars. It's tasty but probably won't work for me. During my races the chocolate coating would melt. They are also $2.00 each. OUCH!
Anyone in Little Rock wanting to try some I found them at the Kroger in the Heights.

I checked out the nutrition for these bars as I am *still* looking for a decent protein bar. I looked at the peanut butter one, and was kind of disappointed to see the usual fat issues - namely there are 8 grams of fat, 5 of which are saturated.
The question mark comes with this: the label claims 0 grams of trans fat, yet the ingredient list contains fractionated oil - possibly the amount is so small it doesn't need to be mentioned, I'm not sure. I'm also not sure of fractionated is necessarily the same as hydrogenated. Any opinions out there? Thanks...

Do the CLIF Build Bar's contain soy protein? I know the normal CLIF bar's do carry them.
