Clif Kid Organic ZBars

bar, product review

I’m not crazy about most bars, protein, meal replacement, weight loss or
snack bars. I think most of them either taste funny, taste bad, have
no taste or give you bad gas. And they are usually expensive. and have
all kinds of weird ingredients. Or have a ton of calories in them. But
I keep looking anyway, hoping one day I will find one I can tolerate and
that is cheap AND low in calories and Weight Watcher points.

I thought that I had found it in the FiberOne bars. They tasted pretty
good and were only 2 Weight Watcher points. They did give me bad gas
but hey what’s a little gas, right? But I didn’t think they were great
and sometimes they seems a little sticky. And the first ingredient is
Chicory root extract. What? That doesn’t sound appetizing. It also
contains 2 types of corn syrup.

Then I found Clif Kid Organic ZBars. They are appear much smaller than
FiberOne bars, but that is because they are more dense. They are not
that much smaller in weight. the Clif Kid Organic ZBars weigh in at 36
g and FiberOne bars weigh in at 40 grams. Clif Kid Organic ZBars are
also pretty cheap for a bar. I can find them for 59 to 69 cents in my
area. They also come in several flavors; Chocolate Brownie, Chocolate
Chip, Honey Graham, and Peanut Butter are flavors I have seen. Their
website also lists Spooky S’mores, Apple Cinnamon and Blueberry.

I have tried Chocolate Brownie, Chocolate Chip, Honey Graham, and Peanut
Butter. The Chocolate Brownie is my favorite. It tastes chocolatey and
has the texture like a very dense brownie. It doesn’t have any weird
after taste or strange chemical flavor and best of all doesn’t give you
gas! the first ingredient listed is Organic Rolled Oats. I can
pronounce and have heard of all the ingredients.

Most of the bars range from 120-130 calories and 2-3 g of fat and have 3
grams of fiber making them 2 Weight Watcher points. Except for the
Peanut Butter one which is 140 calories and 4 g of fat which makes it 3
Weight Watcher points. Which breaks my heart - I love peanut butter
stuff. Why can’t you be like your brethen Peanut Butter Clif Kid ZBar
and have only 2 points?
