CLIF BAR is the original energy bar made with wholesome ingredients that deliver energy. CLIF BARs have whole ingredients you can see and taste, such as rolled oats, fruits and nuts. Each bar contains carbohydrates, protein, fibre, fat and 23 vitamins and minerals.
Thanks to their portability, nutrition and great taste, CLIF Bars are a source of energy for athletes and active people who respect their bodies and the world around them.
For best results, CLIF BARs should be eaten about one to three hours before exercise along with water to supply energy to working muscles. During prolonged, lower intensity exercise such as hiking or bike touring, CLIF BARs can be eaten during activity to maintain energy levels. CLIF BARs can also be eaten after exercise, as a snack between meals or during a long, busy day to help sustain energy.

* During the transition, bars both with and without gluten may be on store shelves simultaneously. Gluten Free ingredient facts stated here, and on wrapper, may differ. PLEASE NOTE, INFORMATION ON WRAPPER REFLECTS ACTUAL CONTENTS.
