Clif Protein Bars: Mixed Reviews on Taste and Texture

Depending on how much you’ve eaten that day, these can definitely serve as a meal replacement, or at least a hold over until your next meal (I am a busy student so having a dense protein bar in my backpack is a must have). Unfortunately, this flavor is pretty hard to swallow - definitely have a water/drink nearby. It’s not anymore worse than any other chalky protein bar, but it’s not one I’ll buy again.

To much sugar

As always, we love the bars, but this time the boxes were extremely crushed. I'm pretty sure it was the shipper as rhe boxes came in a exterior bag instead of a box. Still disheartening.

I love these bars. Great for when I'm on the go and also plant based. Can trust Clif to not make them taste horrible. Maybe not the healthiest of protein bars but they satisfy my needs

Love builders peanut butter, seriously addicted. This is my breakfast and mid afternoon snack.

These are really great to have on hand for a quick grab and go meal replacement or snack. They taste good. Well as good as any protein/health bar can taste. Helps curb my sweet tooth, and bump my protein intake.

Bought one of these the other day at a gas station and loved them so much I bought 2 dozen for meal replacements. Delivery time was good but I'm pretty sure these are stored in a very hot environment as both boxes I received have very clearly melted and resolidified, still edible but not ideal.

I like the flavor, good meal substitute when I don’t have a meal planned for lunch or something

Taste is very hood, a decently balanced bar that is a good meal replacement

Something in it didn’t agree with my system.

The only thing worse than these are the vanilla version of the same bar.
I bought these based on the high review ratings. I'll never do that again.
Everything about these is terrible. They taste like chemicals and it burns when you swallow every bite. The texture is horrible. Hard to eat without gagging.
Do not recommend!! Angry I wasted my money.
This is probably only honest review.
I can't believe these made it into production. Don't they hire taste testers?

I didn’t quite like it, but my daughter loves them. It’s a required taste.

I have been eating this regularly and not going to the gym. I can't say they live up to the "Builder" name but they are sure tasty.

I liked that there was a crunchy layer, and the chocolate coating wasn’t bad. It was fairly filling. What was kind of disappointing was the peanut butter layer. I’m showing my age here, but that layer reminded my of the “Space Food Sticks” from when I was a kid.

Bars were soft and mushy,had to cool immediately

As someone that struggles with getting my needed protein in, this works.

I love these things, but when they're delivered to Tucson, they get hot and melt and when reconstituted, the chocolate sticks to the paper they're wrapped in a makes a mess. Wondering if having them delivered to a Whole Foods locker would be better.

I love these protein bars! They curb appetite for several hours & don't upset my stomach. Easy to digest. Delicious.

Great taste, filling.. I will reorder.

Cheaper than Trader Joe's in my area, cheaper than Costco. Much cheaper than Safeway (if you can even find it there!) Same quality delivered right to my door. Only on Amazon.

We have eaten these for many years and they have always been delicious and satisfying. We have eaten a large quantity of these bars. Lately the bars have gotten a lot smaller and more expensive, but we continued to buy them because they were still very delicious and filling. However they have gone too far and changed the recipe. They now are horribly tasting and the texture is disgusting. I had a difficult time trying to finish one because they were so nasty. They also now have a terrible aftertaste that tastes like artificial sweeteners have been added. I don't know why they changed the recipe, but if they don't change it back, I am never going to buy these bars again. These bars are way to expensive to have to choke it down because the taste is so bad, Cliff Bars, you need to go back to the previous recipe or I am going to have to find another protein bar. This is a shame.

We love these but they must have melted from sitting in the truck because when they're opened, chocolate flakes go everywhere. They're really frustrating and messy to eat now.

I have tried a lot of protein bars and this one is my favorite. Not chewy like those other brands or flavors. Easy to eat (I actually put mine in the fridge before I eat one).

Enjoyed the flavors. Enjoyed that it was not thin wafers, but a nice size bars. Sweet blend of flavors (peanut butter, chocolate). Pleasant crunch mix too. As long as you are not allergic to peanut butter/peanuts, you will/should enjoy these Clif bars.

But if you are ok with brown sugar these are great tasting

I have an excellent body and these don't make me fat like everyone freaks out about sugar. I would take brown sugar over synthetic sugar any day and they are my treat.. good protein content
