July 5: Clif Bars

I've never been into "energy foods" too much throughout my lifetime. Although, there was that short period during my teen years when I committed to working out. In order to supplement my new investment into heavy bags and free weights, I started using some kind of Weider powered energy drink. But, that was just a fad I went though, I guess. As, since then, I've never really taken much of an interest. Over the weekend, my wife secretly bought 3 Clif Bars from Whole Foods (she had a coupon), thinking I might try them as part of our health/organic pilgrimage for 2010. Again, I wasn't too interested, but she put me on the spot in front of the kids by sharing that they had picked out the "flavors" for me. How can I reject a gift from my children? So, when the hunger bug hit me about mid-afternoon today, I came across the Clif bars while scouring the pantry for a little snack. So, I tried 'em out; specifically the Peanut Butter Pretzel Clif Mojo bar. The Clif Bar website teases that these Mojo bars will "...satisfy your sweet (and salty) tooth". And, you know what? It did.To some degree. If you like that sweet/salty combination, then I highly recommend giving this particular Clif Bar a try. Me? I think a Snicker's bar would do the same trick, but at about a buck-fifty less.
