Favorite Prepackaged Snack Bar - 2019??
So this question fits firmly under the "first world problem" category but I'm wondering what snack bars folks are eating during your rides?
Last year I was hooked on R.E.D.D . bars, but I've tired of them and I'm trying RXBars and Bobo bars this season...but the jury's still out. I may go back to my old standard, ProBar Meals. What new and tasty -prepackaged - snack bars are you all riding with this year? |
PayDay bars. Peanuts, Sugar, Fat and cheap.
Did a century on nothing but. |
I stick with Cliff Bars. Surprisingly easy to find when I am touring in unfamiliar places. Biggest problem can sometimes be finding acceptable flavors. I don't like chocolate.
Query: What's the over/under on how many posts it will take before the "You suckers are wasting your money on those ripoffs. I make my own for millions of dollars less." post? |
Cliff Bars Nuts & Seeds is my new favourite, I buy several boxes when they are on sale. Great company, too.
|
Cliff bars are the go to easy to carry never melt like some bars when it's hot and has even came in usefull as a boot for a hole in the tire once the wrapper is much better than a dollar bill
|
anything thats cheap, most protein least cals least sugars most potassium.
Still haven't found one to meet all the requirements. |
Nature's Bakery fig bars from Costco. So much better than Fig Newtons, easy to open package, not expensive, taste great on the bike without drying out your mouth.
|
Clif Blueberry Crisp. My absolute favorite.
|
I'm trying to avoid individually packaged consumer feed these days.
A banana or some cookies is fine for my needs, but I haven't actually eaten on a ride all year. |

Lenny and Larry's Complete Cookie. 400 calorie / 16g protein / 64g carb cookie that doesn't taste like cardboard. I usually cut one in half for a typical ride, a full one for a long day. They sell 'em at Trader Joe's for $1.69 each, so not very expensive. The choco-mint flavor is my favorite.
Nut butter filled Clif Bars are a close second. |
Lenny and Larry's Cookies - 400 calories and $1 each @ Grocery Outlet. The snickerdoodle flavour is terrible, avoid it.

:-b Ok, seriously, I buy the Clif bars when they go on sale and keep a stack. Which reminds me, I'm running low! |
Well timed thread, always looking for ideas.
So far it's been cliff bars to the extent I can get them down switching when I no longer can to twizzlers picked up along the way. |

Not too crazy about all the soy in Clif Bars.
Prefer the Nature's Bakery Blueberry Fig Bars easy energy and they are a bargain. Picky Bars are expensive but a special treat. |
Thanks, folks! I reached my saturation level with Clif Bars 2010-ish and Lara bars the around the same time.......but it sounds like they've expanded their lineup. Might have to check them out again.
--And since I went through a phase of making my own snacks years ago, I am now a multi-millionaire (from the money I saved) and can afford to purchase prepackaged fare.:lol: |
Clif bars and the Costco fig bars. I also like the Clif gel packs.
|
My favourite are Nakd bars, they taste great, are very cheap and have good healthy ingredients, my next favourite are Lara bars and lastly Cliff bars.
|
I was given some RBars https://rbarenergy.com/ at an event recently. One flavor was much tastier than the others (can't remember) but all were tolerable.
