Definitely one of the best tasting protein bars available... Apr 20, 2007 By J. Brooks
Plain and simple, these Builder's Bars are one of the best tasting protein bars you can get. They are crispy and chewy at the same time and they aren't super sweet like a candy bar. And at 2.4 ounces a piece they are large enough and filling enough to be a meal replacement.

And the one thing that I really like is that when I read the ingredients, I actually know what the stuff is! Nothing weird or unnatural, just real ingredients!

Out of the four flavors available (Chocolate Mint, Peanut Butter, Chocolate, Cookies `n Cream) I prefer the Chocolate Mint and Peanut Butter, mainly because they taste even less like a protein bar. I'm not saying the plain Chocolate and Cookies 'n Cream are bad tasting, just that I prefer the taste of the Chocolate Mint and Peanut Butter ones (they are all really tasty).

These are just awesome, 100% natural, high protein, real ingredients, and they taste great! I just love them!

A bit of product info:
Vanilla Almond: 39% organic ingredients
Chocolate Mint: 32% organic ingredients
Chocolate: 33% organic ingredients
Cookies `n Cream: 35% organic ingredients
Peanut Butter: 35% organic ingredients

Side note:
Do not buy these expired (like on eBay or in-store)! Since these bars do not contain any preservatives they can loose their freshness and vitamin potency quickly and can develop a simple bread mold. It is recommended that they be eaten within a month of their sell by date (they are guaranteed to be fresh one month passed the sell by date printed on the wrapper).

EDIT: I just bought myself a couple of boxes of the of the new Vanilla Almond flavor and oh my they are mighty tasty. Sometimes you just don't want a chocolate protein bar and these fit the bill perfectly! And just like the other Builder Bars they are not super sweet, just a perfect balance. That and they contain more organic ingredients then the other Builder Bars (39%).

If chocolate is not your pleasure try the Vanilla Almond bars, you will not be disappointed!

Clif Builder Bar is the Savior Aug 07, 2006 By Laplace Transform "Laplace Transform"
I'm 26m, 6' 185 and growing. Work out regularly, mostly weights and basketball. I'm allergic to peanuts, which makes most protein bars off-limits for me. This is the only bar I've found where the non-peanut flavors don't contain trace amounts of peanuts to set off my allergies. Incredible, if for only that reason. But there's more.

20g of protein. Wow. This can be a meal replacement if you're on the road or it can be the mid-morning, early-evening or even late-night snack, especially if you're trying to build lean muscle and shooting for 1.5 or more grams of protein per pound of body weight. It's an easy 20.

The carbs are real, as another review says. It's clean energy, to be effective either before or after a workout. I prefer to take in liquid protein after a workout, the body absorbs it faster, but in a pinch this would be a great choice. Beyond that it's a little crispy and a little chewy, there's a physical satisfaction from eating it that makes the experience complete. But, as another review said, this isn't intended to be a diet bar, it is for men & women who work hard and use lots of energy throughout the day, hence the name "Builders Bar." I guess if you ate half of one instead of a meal, it might work that way.

Finally the taste is outstanding, when stacked against other bars (although I haven't tried many, due to peanut allergies). If you close your eyes and pretend, it really could be a dessert. I stick to the cookies & cream or chocolate. Chocolate is yummy dunked in hot coffee mid-morning.

I buy a box every two weeks and keep stocked at home, work and oftentimes one in the car just in case I get hungry. Another review said the outside chocolate got crumbly, this is true, if it gets hot and melted. When the things solidify they crumble. Doesn't change the taste but it's messy. Keep them cool and you're in good shape. I've even tried putting them in the freezer prior to eating, not bad but no significant difference.

Thank you Clif!

I wish the three people who marked my review as not helpful had left a comment as to why it wasn't helpful or what it was missing.

By far the best-tasting protein bar I've ever had Jan 02, 2008 By Eduardo Nietzsche
...the only reason I give it 4 instead of 5 stars is because it uses soy protein instead of whey protein. Whey is supposed to be the best type of protein available, much more easily absorbed in the human body.

However I am happy to report that I've never experienced stomach upset or any other problems from eating these bars, so maybe my digestive system is better than most. I HAVE had a few issues (gas and bloating) from eating a meal with a lot of soy products, notably tofu, so I know the rap on soy is not unjustified.

Otherwise, I highly recommend this bar. I eat it after lifting weights at the gym, it ties me over for a good hour or two before I have a normal meal, which can be of a slightly smaller size at that point. Tastes infinitely better than MetRx, Powerbar Protein Plus, Myoplex Deluxe (yuck! by far the grossest). Only Detour protein bars can compete with this bar taste-wise, but Detour seems more suited for someone on a low-carb regimen whereas this Builder's Bar is more balanced between protein and carbs. Of course the fact that it's mostly organic and doesn't have the dreaded high fructose corn syrup is wonderful.

btw, you can get these cheaper in the 24 pack at a Sam's Club or Costco, though they only have two flavors, Peanut Butter and Chocolate.

Great for immediate refueling after Bike Ride. Jul 31, 2006 By Martinator "Martinator"
I read in Bicycling magazing that riders who ingest protien within the first 15 minutes of completing a ride, have faster muscle recovery rates and are in better shape for the next day.

Last year I was always sore the next day after a long ride. After reading this article, I box some Clif Builder Bars due to their high protien content (20g). I have since been religiously eating them after each ride. I have yet to have sore muscles yet this year.

In one of the local stores there is a Chocolate Mint flavor. It is yummy.
