Clif Z Bar: Chocolate Brownie

Taste just like the regular Clif chocolate brownie bar, expect it's slightly sweeter and a lot smaller in portion because it's aimed towards kids. I think it's the perfect snack size for me because I usually break my normal size Clif bars in half and eat it at two separate settings anyways. So far I've had the Chocolate Brownie and Graham Cracker varieties of the Z bars, can't wait till I get to try the other flavors. I've seen these being sold at Ralphs in a box of 6 for about $5 dollars and I've also seen these being sold at Target for about $3.50. Much better deal at Target if you are committed to one flavor. I don't know if it's just a fluke or if they are always priced like that.

Clif Mojo Bar: Honey Roasted Peanuts

The Clif Mojo Bar is EXACTLY what it is advertised as. "Sweet and salty trail mix bar." Clif makes some great stuff. The texture is completely different from the normal Clif Bars that are dense and packed. The Mojo bar is basically trail mix "glued" together by some sugary substance and it's really, really good. Maybe because I picked a flavor I know I would like -- Honey Roast Peanut (roasted peanuts & pretzel pieces). A complete different texture than normal Clif Bars, but equally good. As far as the stomach goes, I think the regular Clif bars kept me fuller longer, but then again, they are higher in calories. I can't wait till I get to try their other varieties.

Clif Bar: Chocolate Brownie

Everyone on the blogsphere has been obsessed with energy/meal replacement bars so I picked a few up when they were on sale. It's so expensive to eat on a daily basis, but I see many people eating at least a few bars a week. To me, at 240 calories, these clif bars seems a bit too heavy for a snack. I have to remember that these are meant to be meal replacement bars so I have to eat them wisely or else I'll end up gaining a ton of weight. I broke this in half and started munching away at it at the gym parking lot before clocking in my gym time. Eating away at it in little pieces, about 1/4 done with the bar I realized that I was not hungry, but I was still doing the "bag-to-mouth" motion. I immediately stopped. These bars are really filling, but so tasty that it seems like you are eating a candy bar. It's really dense and chewy bar. I like it. After my gym time, I came out and ate 1/4 more of the bar and I was really satisfied and didn't have to rush home and find food so I stopped by the grocery store to pick up more with some coupons.
