Cheap Clif Bar Banana Nut Bread 12 bars Review

CLIF bars is much the best tasting nutrition bars on the market - in any case for me. They come in a variety of flavors and each of them is excellent. The diet varies slightly between flavors, but here are nutritional facts of blueberries taste (one of my favorites):

Calories: 240
Calories from fats: 50

Total Fat: 5g
Saturated fat: 0.5 g
Trans Fat: 0g

Cholesterol: 0mg
Sodium: 150mg
Potassium: 250 mg
Total Carb: 43g
Sugars: 21G
Other Carb: 17g
Protein: 9g

So as you can see nothing here screams "I'm bad for you!".

I'm about to drop weight and change my lifestyle. In my diet I have a good amount of carbohydrates in the morning for renewable energy and towards the end of the day I steer more towards the low carb / high protein for muscle growth after working out. I avoid carbs during the least active part of my day (do not want the potentialenergy to store as fat in one day!). With this diet plan these bars are good for breakfast or a snack early days (I have 5-6 meals a day). You get a substantial amount of calories to help fill you up, they are low in fat, you get a good shot of carbs perfect to start your day, a good bit of fiber and you get a good chunk of protein - potassium does not h bad either. The only question here is the small amount of simple carbohydrates and also these are a little high in sugar. These poles are abit on the sweet side, so if they were a little less sweet and maybe had 10 12g sugar so they would be perfect. This is the only issue itself and it is not so bad - a little sugar in the morning is okay in my book and the good far outweighs the bad. Nitpickers may be mocked on saturated fat - but only 1 / 2 gram (4% DV).

Nutrition Facts away from these bars taste great! Actually these are the best tasting bars on the market to me and I've tried them all. They are close enough tofill you up but not too close. Some bars force you to chew forever before you can swallow the darn thing - not here. They taste so good I almost feel sinful eating them. I bet you can break one of these bars up and roll them into little balls and serve them as a desert and people will have no idea, they consume a nutrition bar - yes they are so good. I eat them every day. I have a snooze button Masher so I often end up waking up in a race to get ready for work. My perfectbreakfast is a CLIF bar and 8 ounces of Naked Green Machine juice and a cup of black coffee - after I rearin 'to go and it is super fast. Again, these are great for backpacking, hiking, camping and activities of this kind.

Bsn Lean Dessert Protein, Banana Nut Bread 1.39-Pound

Cheap Bsn Lean Dessert Protein, Banana Nut Bread 1.39-Pound Review

I really gotta hand it to the BSN. This Cinnamon Roll flavor is fantastic. I can not believe it is a protein shake. It tastes rich and creamy (and really bad for you)! My downfall is at night to eat and it is a perfect diet tool to kill your appetite when you want something sweet at night.

I was interested in the BSN after learning of their exotic taste - beyond the boring Chocolate / vanilla / strawberry on 90% of other protein shakes. This taste has made me a BSN convert. Can notwait to try the others.

My tips for a perfect mix: Use very very cold water, add an ice cube or two and spend a Bullet type blender. A blender gives it a fabulous foaming creamy texture. Hand mixing / shaking just do not get it so smooth and creamy.

The thing prevents me from giving it five stars:
User-Corn Syrup Solids as a sweetener.
-Contains virtually no fiber (
