clif bars
I'm from New Orleans and maybe I'm not looking in the right places or it really is because they don't have them down here in the sounth, but..... I've never heard of a clif bar before seeing them mentioned on these boards. I really feel granola, nuts, and nutrition bars of the sort are going to be a big part of my food supplies so I'm looking into clif bars; they seem ideal. Any of you that buy them/see them regularly... where do they sell them? ....I can order boxes online if I need to, but I was wondering what prices are reasonable. Also, what flavors are good and which ones should I stay away from???

Re: clif bars
They sell them at Trader Joe's (a national chain natural food store) and also in the grocery store with the vitamins or natural food stuff. Places that sell "Powerbars" and other high-energy camping or athletic type foods may have them too.poeticphoto wrote:I'm from New Orleans and maybe I'm not looking in the right places or it really is because they don't have them down here in the sounth, but.....

I've paid anywhere from 89 cents to $1.25 or so per Clif Bar.
Flavors: Chocolate Chip, Peanut Butter Something, Carrot Cake, Coffee Toffee Buzz or whatever that was.. buy an assortment if you can, and find the ones you like. Some are really yummy and some are not so great. Again, personal taste preference. I think some are too sweet, but sometimes sweet is a good thing.

I used to work at a health food store. My suggestion is find the nearest health food/ nutrition/ fitness place, sometimes the diet/nutrition section of big retail stores/groceries, and try several brands & flavors of bars. Some are good, some are ok, many are bland and alot are really awful, and your personal taste may vary.

Be careful with bringing too much of any one thing, especially something you haven't eaten much of before. You may get sick of them after the first day and not have anything else to switch to.
They're a very convenient and tasty food to bring, but I wouldn't count on them handling the bulk of your meals unless you've done a test run at home first. Having a selection of different flavors and brands might help a bit.
REI and other outdoor outlets have some good bars and easy to prepare meals, you might try a few of those out too.

clif bars
I have eaten a lot of Clif bars over the years, at least a few each week. Best price I have found is at Smart & Final (your pronunciation may vary <g>) in boxes of 24. I like the variety pack of chocolate chip, peanut butter & chocolate/peanut butter the best, but YMMV.
A quick check shows there to be a F&S in Reno. You might want to call to see if they carry your bars of choice and then pick them up on your way through town if you're going that way.
That having been said, my favorite bar for the last few months has been Balance (now consumed around 2-1 versus the Clif bars). The flavor and texture is a nice change from the blandness of Clif, IMHO (even though the Clif bars have healthier ingredients at face value, using soy & oats rather than wheat & whey). I like all the flavors of Balance.
If you plan to eat a lot of bars make sure you have a dietary fiber component from something else; these little suckers (especially the Balance whey) will bind you up something fierce and give you the stinkies unless you keep things moving with lots of leafy vegetables or the like (and despite the daily cleanings you do NOT want to spend any more time than necessary in the JOTS; well, unless that's your thing <g>).
And BTW, those bars are like 200-250 Calories a pop. You might want to do some math on your expected caloric requirements on the playa based on your activity level, weight, etc. I can't imagine using bars for more than a fraction of the several thousand Calories I take in each day; I would grow sick of them way too quickly. But I do love them for an easy, quick bite just before or after a workout; nice balance, no sugar rush/letdown, easily absorbed, etc.

Thanks everyone... I've looked around a bit and I've found Luna bars, but I was under the impression that the Luna's were a feminine-friendly type of clif bar, like they included more nutrients that women need. I'll probably just end up ordering online. Prices seem reasonable. Has anyone tried the clif shots?
Clif shots are like Gu. Both are about 100 calories worth of carbohydrate(sugar) gel in a foil pouch. They're intended for endurance athletes who have low blood sugar (have "bonked").
Personally, I got used to them while training for long distance cycling and running events. But I think most people think they're disgusting sugar bombs with no capacity to make you feel full.

I've found if you're hungry enough any "energy bar" will taste good enough to choke down. Beware that if you eat a lot of them, then can bind up your digestive system with untoward results. If you can find any of them for ~$1.00 that's a decent price, but remember that you can probably make oatmeal cookies that taste better for considerably less money and more effort. But ultimately this is a metter of taste and YMMV.
