TriEdge.net | Your Ultimate Source of Information on Swim Bike Run

 

The number of women enjoying endurance sports is rising fast, but that doesn't mean your lovely lady wouldn't like a bit of indulgence. Thankfully, CLIF bar has you covered with tasty flavors and none of the guilt that comes with downing a chocolate cake. What could be better than a box of chocolate goodness to open on Mother's Day? Ladies, they're even the perfect gift for your sporty friends. I've been tying pink ribbons around my favorite picks all morning. With so many choices form CLIF, it's easy to get overwhelmed, here's a few of my favorites to get you started:


CLIF Bar Chocolate Brownie - New Organic Seal 041112

Chocolate Brownie


Mmmm... brownie! Great taste and good organic ingredients make this a delicious snack on the go, or tucked safely away in your cycling jersey to enjoy at the top of a hard climb. The toughest thing about carrying these bars around was keeping my kids from stealing them. They call them "Mommy's candy bars". So good!


Ingredients: Organic Brown Rice Syrup, Organic Rolled Oats, ClifPro® (Soy Rice Crisps [Soy Protein Isolate, Rice Flour, Barley Malt Extract], Organic Roasted Soybeans, Organic Soy Flour), Organic Evaporated Cane Juice, Chocolate Chips (Evaporated Cane Juice, Unsweetened Chocolate, Cocoa Butter, Soy Lecithin, Natural Flavors), Organic Date Paste, Cocoa, Organic Sunflower Oil, Cocoa (processed with alkali), ClifCrunch® (Apple Fiber, Organic Oat Fiber, Organic Milled Flaxseed, Inulin [Chicory Extract], Psyllium), Natural Flavors, Sea Salt.

CLIFF MOJO Choc Almond Coconut - 020311

Mojo Chocolate Almond Coconut


Sweet and salty, this bar can satisfy your strongest craving. The mix of toasted coconut, chunks of chocolate and whole roasted almonds hit the spot! It's a little bit heavy in my stomach to use as a mid-cycling snack but I love taking these bars on long hikes; you would be amazed how great they taste after a four hour climb. I've even used them to hold off the hunger until I could make it home for a full meal. Made with 70% organic ingredients, it's good for the planet and the combination of chewy and crunchy makes it a tasty snack!

CLIF Bar Chocolate Almond Fudge - New Organic Seal 041112

Chocolate Almond Fudge

 

I really don't know what comment there is to add to the description of this bar; the name says it all! It's SO delicious. CLIF put it best in their description, "Whole, organic ingredients. Good nutrition. And great taste. Whether you're on a 150-mile bike ride or making your way through a long day, it's the energy bar for everyone."


Ingredients: Organic Brown Rice Syrup, Organic Rolled Oats, ClifPro® (Soy Rice Crisps [Soy Protein Isolate, Rice Flour, Barley Malt Extract], Organic Roasted Soybeans, Organic Soy Flour), Organic Evaporated Cane Juice, Chocolate Chips (Evaporated Cane Juice, Unsweetened Chocolate, Cocoa Butter, Soy Lecithin, Natural Flavors), Almond Butter, Dry Roasted Almonds, Organic Fig Paste, Cocoa, ClifCrunch® (Apple Fiber, Organic Oat Fiber, Organic Milled Flaxseed, Inulin [Chicory Extract], Psyllium), Sea Salt, Natural Flavors.



CLIF CRUNCH Chocolate Peanut Butter3

Crunch Chocolate Peanut Butter


My absolute favorite breakfast is Greek yogurt and a Chocolate Peanut Butter Crunch Bar. It's a little bit lighter bar than other CLIF bars, but makes it a perfect snack to stuff in my gym bag for unexpected delays getting to my next meal. I'm a big fan of the Crunch bars in general, but this one is my all-time favorite!


Ingredients: Organic Rolled Oats, Organic Evaporated Cane Juice, Organic Sunflower Oil, Chocolate (Evaporated Cane Juice, Unsweetened Chocolate, Cocoa Butter, Soy Lecithin, Vanilla), Peanut Butter, Peanut Butter Chips (Evaporated Cane Juice, Palm Kernel Oil, Peanut Flour, Soy Lecithin), Rice Crisp (Rice Flour, Barley Malt Extract, Evaporated Cane Juice, Salt, Calcium Carbonate), Honey, Organic Barley Flakes, Organic Rye Flakes, Roasted Peanut Extract, Oat Bran, Oat Fiber, Sea Salt (Real Salt®), Natural Flavor, Inulin (Chicory Extract).
