 Delicious energy bar for kids of all ages! December 13, 2008
CLIF Kid ZBaR, Chocolate Chip are very delicious. I like them better than the regular Cliff Bars. They were nice and fresh out of the wrapper. I would definitely recommend buying these for children. I am pretty sure that they'll enjoy every single bite. Next time, instead of giving junior a candy bar or a Quaker Oatmeal or Granola Bar, give him a Clif Bar! Great for snack time, lunch time or any ol' time!
Highly recommended,
 Gotta love it December 11, 2008
I love the Clif ZBar. It is not only good, but also very filling.
The Clif bar is mostly organically made and does not have high fructose or trans fat. It is made with soy beans and whole grains and tastes deliciously great.
The bar is advertised as being a good snack for kids. But, it is great for adults while hiking, at work or just as a quick snack until your next meal. My favorite flavors are Chocolate Chip and Chocolate Brownie.
A better alternative for my kids December 8, 2008
For years I have bought my kids the popular brand granola bar which is also sold here on Amazon. Quaker Chewy Granola Bar, Variety Pack, 10-Count Bars (Pack of 12) Always interested in finding something better and/or healthier I was happy to try out CLIF Kid ZBaR's.
On the afternoon that I opened them, I asked my kids to give me their honest opinion about them. All of us immediately smelled maple when we tore them open, so it was no surprise to see Organic Maple Syrup in the list of ingredients. They are presented nicely with drizzled Organic Chocolate on top, which both of my kids of course noticed. Along with the maple these are sweetened with Organic Cane Juice and we all noticed the difference. It has a taste unlike corn syrup, which is used most of the time, but I liked it. The texture was soft and chewy and contained just the right amount of chocolate chips. I think the bar size was a nice plus too - a large 1.27 ounces compared to Quakers 0.84 bars.
Overall these were our thoughts on the CLIF Kid ZBaR's:
*My son who is 16 said they were okay, but he was not sure about the sweetener - he felt it gave it an "off" taste. (UPDATE - Apparently the bars have grown on my son, because he is eating them just as much as we are now)
*My daughter who is 14 immediately liked them and had no complaints.
*My opinion was that I liked them much more than the Quaker for many reasons. Added protein, organic ingredients, natural sweeteners, large bars and they actually taste good!
I have already added these onto my account for Subscribe and Save and we received our first shipment last week.
Try them and you'll be hooked! December 8, 2008
I have tried all of the flavors of the Z Bars and the Chocolate Chip is by far my favorite variety. They are chewy and moist and have just the right amount of chocolate that it tastes like a treat! My 3.5 year old daughter loves them as well. She has them for a snack or sometimes for breakfast if we are running late as they are easy to take for those times when you are on the go. The best aspect of the bars though are the ingredients - No High Fructose Corn Syrup, No Trans Fats, 12 Vitamins and Minerals and I can pronounce each and every ingredient listed. Try them and you will be hooked too!
Perfect for kids of all ages December 3, 2008
I was looking forward to trying this product as I have really enjoyed other bars from CLIF, especially the Luna Bars. When it comes to having energy bars as snacks I feel a bit like Goldilocks. Full-sized Luna Bars and CLIF bars are too big at 180 and 240 calories respectively but the Mini Luna Bars at 80 calories are too small. I'm glad I had a chance to try this bar because at 130 calories, 3 grams of fiber, and 3 grams of protein it is just right.
I enjoyed the taste of Chocolate Chip bar. It had a true chocolate flavor and a sweetness that was pleasant but not over powering. As other reviewers have stated, this does not have a chocolate chip cookie taste, but it is definitely pleasant tasting for an energy bar. The only slight complaint I have is that the maple syrup flavor is a little strong and slightly overpowers the chocolate. I was also a little surprised to see organic chocolate chips listed as the first ingredient on the bar since ingredients are in order of quantity. I would have expected the first ingredient to be a whole grain.
Texture-wise these remind me of a dense cookie or bar, which is different from my usual Luna Bar. They are like the traditional Cliff Bars or Odwalla bars. The Luna Bars I have tried have more of a crispy texture because of the Luna Pro soy rice crisp it contains (usually the first ingredient on the list). This isn't a positive or negative either way, but something worth noting if you are used to Luna Bars. The size is also perfect and seems generous for the calorie count. It is certainly MUCH better than the Mini Luna Bars which I can finish in two bites.
Overall these are very tasty and perfect for a snack even if you are not a child. I look forward to trying the other flavors to see how they compare to my beloved Luna Bars and regular CLIF bars.
As a note, I have also now tried the chocolate brownie flavor and have to say it is by far my favorite. It has a rich and delicious chocolate flavor without the maple flavor I was getting from the chocolate chip bar. I would definitely recommend it as the best CLIF Kid ZBaR I have tried thus far.
