CLIF BUILDERS Protein Bars, Chocolate, 20g Protein, 12ct

tasty protein snack. The chocolate flavor is rich and satisfying, making it feel more enjoyable than many standard protein bars, while the 20g of plant-based protein gives it great value for post-workout recovery, busy days, or a quick snack between meals. It’s easy to take on the go and works well for anyone looking for a dependable protein option with a good balance of flavor and nutrition. Overall, it’s a delicious, practical, and worthwhile bar to keep on hand.

Not to speak in hyperbole, but these bars have been a godsend. I'm of slight build and very rarely feel the pangs of hunger in my stomach regardless of food intake (or lack thereof), so without noticing it I essentially just slow down due to lack of calories/carbs/etc as the day progresses. Ever since I started including these bars into my diet as a snack at work I never feel tired. I'm also incredibly frugal, but these were easy to justify the price of when the benefits were so obvious. Two 12-pack boxes when it's marked down at a low price means that it's roughly going to be a dollar and some change per workday for a quality snack. Not bad, and slightly cheaper than what you'd pay for a vending machine candy bar. As far as taste/texture, I really enjoy what they put into them. I'm not a foodie by any stretch and find little pleasure in anything I eat, but I look forward to eating these bars. I even eat them when I'm not working/don't need the boost, so that's saying something. They're not overpoweringly sweet and, most importantly for me, they taste great when chilled (not frozen; you'll break your teeth). The texture of the bar is complex, with a typical soft chocolate top layer covering a crunchy core. The best way I can describe the inner core is like an organic cereal purchased by your fancy friends who insist that organic everything is the only way to live (it's not, but whatever). If you understand that, then you have a pretty accurate idea of what you're getting. I guess the gist of it is that it doesn't feel like a corporate manufactured kids food, it feels a little more finely crafted and selective of its ingredients. But it's not so artisanal that you feel like one of those yippy toolboxes that think synth music is worth listening to and use more than 5 words to describe the cup of coffee they're ordering. Give it a rest, your BS complex coffee order is not impressing the sorta-cute-but-far-too-tattooed-to-not-be-difficult-in-a-relationship barista and you're just making the wait in line that much longer for the people behind you. One thing that annoyed me was likely outside of Clif's (Clif Bar's?) hands: crumbly stuff inside the wrapper. Depending on how carelessly Amazon ships them, or what time of year you order them, they can come chock full of tiny flakes of chocolate that get everywhere. I've had batches that were great, and then I've had a few where Amazon allowed them to semi-melt somewhere along the line and it basically snows chocolate all over your clothes/desk as soon as you open the wrapper. Chilling before opening didn't help either, the damage is done if it has a chance to melt. I'm basically insane when it comes to things like this, so if you're the same... I don't know what to say. Deal with it? They're worth the slight mental anguish and clean-up time. I wrote all of this for a glorified candy bar. Sorry that you read all of it?

Taste great with a great balance between crunchy and smooth texture. Satisfying and just enough to carry me thru a meal.

I can't really say if I'm a fan of these or not, they're very chewy and sweet, it feels more like a candy bar than a protein bar. But maybe that's what you're looking for, but I'm not really keen on sweets with 21g per bar it's certainly a bit high but everything else seems to be great it's got a hefty amount of protein and it satiates my hungry quite I bit so sometimes I find myself eating one before I head out to class. However after trying three different flavors I'd say this might be my least favorite. Cookies and cream and the peanut butter bars were superior in terms of taste. Regardless I'd still recommend these bars, sure it's a little sweet for my tastes but I don't really have a sweet tooth, I've got a sour tooth for tart and tangy foods and snacks and frankly I don't believe I'll ever find a protein bar that'll curb that craving lol

Tastes way less like ceiling tiles than you'd expect.

We love these bars. Great for adults who work out or teen athletes needing something between meals.

I have enjoyed the Builders protein bars, especially since they do not contain ingredients found in other brands that are harmful to our bodies. My only issue is that when exposed to high temperature for a long period of time, the exterior coating on the bars sticks to the wrapper and flakes of chocolate go everywhere when you open the wrapper. I live in Georgia, so I won’t be ordering from any on-line service from April through October because the delivery vans expose the boxes to high temps.

My grandson loves these

Very chalky, dry and crumbly. Had a strange taste. Good for getting lots of protein, but not the nicest flavour.
