This seems like a fairly good balance of fat, carbs, protein and fiber. The primary ingredient in Clif bars is organic brown rice syrup, which is brown rice fermented into sugar. It has a lower glycemic index than straight-up table sugar. I use Clif bars as a convenient breakfast substitute, or a quick snack for a long hike or a long drive. The portability and relatively long shelf life make them ideal snacks for the car or backpack to stave off emergency hangriness.

Don’t make me hangry. You wouldn’t like me when I’m hangry…

They’re all nutritious, but here are the ones that taste best, in ranked order.
