better than most kid cereals! - Georgy - indep,mo
Our entire family loves these bars. They are great for breakfast on the run,add a piece of fruit and this is a choice you can feel good about. If you compare to most breakfast cereals and frozen pancakes,waffles,or toaster strudels....these are by far the winners! More protein, more fiber,and higher quality ingredients. Also a great afternoon snacks and with all the different flavors sometimes we choose as a dessert. This product is great!!! Target has it for the cheapest price in my area.

My son is on a growth spurt and is always hungry. He often needs to eat on the fly after school or after sports, so I have tried various healthy bar snacks for him. He usually tries a bite or two, then announces they "taste funny" and that is the end of that. I was thrilled when he said the S'mores flavor Z bars were "awesome" and "the best I've ever tasted", then proceeded to blow through an 18 bar pack in ten days. He takes them in his lunch, he eats them after school, or as a bedtime snack. Thanks, Z Bar!

We liked these bars so much, we actually subscribed to the Variety Pack and got one of these delivered to us every month. Sadly, following the recent peanut butter scare, Amazon canceled our subscription and the kids are missing them being delivered on a regular basis.
This is the one-flavor option and choco chips is one of my girl's favorite . The bars are just about the right size - not too small but small enough for the kids to get 2 of them in one day if they earned them. I sometime take a bar myself after exercising or I take one or 2 with me to office and have them with tea in the morning as breakfast.
After many months of ZBaRs subscription it would be fair to say that we enjoy them very much. I like them because they are made with good-quality (organic) ingredients, they are chock-full of vitamins, don't have a lot of fat and contain zero hydrogenated oils, fructose, corn syrup or the artificial preservatives and flavor enhancers that just about anything we buy these days seems to have in abundance. The kids like them because they are tasty.
To summarize:
- the size is right
- taste great
- kids love it
- on a subscription you get 15% off and free delivery
One note of caution. The all organic, no artificial preservatives, environmentally friendly packaging seems to cause the bars to get progressively drier as time passes. If you want a chewy, fully satisfying experience, do not plan to store them for months. One month seems to be okay though.
Go for them (I went) :)
P.S. - The 18-bar or 36-bar if available should be the optimal quantities if subscribing. There's a little money to be saved that way.

I love this product for my grandkids but when the shipping is included in the price I consider this way too expensive. They are hard to find in our area so you could say they have my attention but I'll continue to look for a better deal.

This is one of the best-tasting energy/snack bars I've tried. It has true flavors (think a chewy chocolate brownie with small chocolate chips), little or no "off" flavors or aftertastes, and it's relatively filling, especially if accompanied by water or an additional quick snack, such as fruit. It's a small bar, but it's packed with 3 grams of fiber (12% of daily needs based on a 2,000 calorie diet), and it's certified 95% organic. These organic ingredients include organic rolled oats, organic oat Flour, organic oat fiber, organic and milled flaxseed, and actual natural flavors. Even the sweet stuff is organic:, including organic chocolate (made with--you guessed it--organic evaporated cane juice), soy butter, cocoa powder, cocoa butter, tapioca syrup, and fig paste. CLIF's website proclaims that "CLIF ZBar is the first kids' snack created to comply with SB-19, California's Senate Bill limiting fat and sugar in foods offered within the state's school system...We source ingredients which do not contain wheat and are not genetically engineered." Although aimed at kids, adults and teens will enjoy this as well.
Ingredients: Organic Rolled Oats, Organic Chocolate Chips (Organic Evaporated Cane Juice, Organic Unsweetened Chocolate, Organic Cocoa Butter, Soy Lecithin, Natural Flavors), Organic Evaporated Cane Juice Syrup, Organic Brown Rice Syrup, Organic Tapioca Syrup, Organic Fig Paste, Organic Oat Flour, Organic Cocoa Powder, Organic Soy Butter, Natural Flavors, Organic Oat Fiber, Organic Milled Flaxseed, Organic Chocolate (Organic Evaporated Cane Juice, Organic Unsweetened Chocolate, Organic Cocoa Butter, Soy Lecithin), Salt, Baking Soda. For those with allegies, CLIF includes the following caution "Contains soy. May contain traces of milk, peanuts and other nuts."
Vitamins & Minerals: Calcium Carbonate, Ascorbic Acid (Vit. C), Niacinamide (Vit. B3), Ferric Orthophosphate (Iron), Zinc Oxide, Cyanocobalamin (Vit. B12), Thiamine Mononitrate (Vit. B1), Pyridoxine Hydrochloride (Vit. B6), Riboflavin (Vit. B2), Folic Acid (Vit. B9), Beta Carotene (Vit A).
Nutritional Information: In one bar (36 grams) there are 120 calories, 3 grams of fat (5% of percent daily values based on a 2,000 calorie diet), of which one gram s saturated fat(but no trans fat), 0 cholesterol, 12 grams sugar, A total of 22 grams carbohydrates (7%), which includes 12 grams of sugar and 10 grams of other carbohydrates, 125 mg of sodium (4%), 110 mg. potassium(3%), 3 grams of dietary fiber (12%) and a gram of insoluble fiber, and the following vitamins and minerals: Vitamin A (6%), B1(30%), B2 (15%), B3 (20%), B6 (20%), B12 (10%), %). C (35%), Iron (10%), zinc (15%), Phosphorus (20%), and Folate (20%).
I don't think there's a similar product around that can compete with the taste, purity, and nutritional value of this popular new treat.

We purchased a variety pack of Clif zbars from sams for 18.99. Our kids liked all of them but LOVED the chocolate brownie ones. They are made with much better ingredients than the standard bar. Would recommend them...plus great price.

My two-and-a-half-year-old loves these snacks. My husband and I also think they are great! Even though they are good for you, there is just enough chocolate drizzled on top to make you feel like you are indulging. Very tasty for a snack bar!

I was looking forward to trying this product as I have really enjoyed other bars from CLIF, especially the Luna Bars. When it comes to having energy bars as snacks I feel a bit like Goldilocks. Full-sized Luna Bars and CLIF bars are too big at 180 and 240 calories respectively but the Mini Luna Bars at 80 calories are too small. I'm glad I had a chance to try this bar because at 130 calories, 3 grams of fiber, and 3 grams of protein it is just right.
I enjoyed the taste of Chocolate Chip bar. It had a true chocolate flavor and a sweetness that was pleasant but not over powering. As other reviewers have stated, this does not have a chocolate chip cookie taste, but it is definitely pleasant tasting for an energy bar. The only slight complaint I have is that the maple syrup flavor is a little strong and slightly overpowers the chocolate. I was also a little surprised to see organic chocolate chips listed as the first ingredient on the bar since ingredients are in order of quantity. I would have expected the first ingredient to be a whole grain.
Texture-wise these remind me of a dense cookie or bar, which is different from my usual Luna Bar. They are like the traditional Cliff Bars or Odwalla bars. The Luna Bars I have tried have more of a crispy texture because of the Luna Pro soy rice crisp it contains (usually the first ingredient on the list). This isn't a positive or negative either way, but something worth noting if you are used to Luna Bars. The size is also perfect and seems generous for the calorie count. It is certainly MUCH better than the Mini Luna Bars which I can finish in two bites.
Overall these are very tasty and perfect for a snack even if you are not a child. I look forward to trying the other flavors to see how they compare to my beloved Luna Bars and regular CLIF bars.
As a note, I have also now tried the chocolate brownie flavor and have to say it is by far my favorite. It has a rich and delicious chocolate flavor without the maple flavor I was getting from the chocolate chip bar. I would definitely recommend it as the best CLIF Kid ZBaR I have tried thus far.

My family all love Zbars. We enjoy knowing we can grab a zbar and go out hiking or to the park or even when the kids get home from school and want a snack. I am happy to give my children this product and know that I have given them something nutritious and it isn't full of extra junk. All 4 of our children love Zbars and most friends who have tried them also liked them. I do agree with another review I saw that stated to buy one from the store before you buy this large quantity because everyones taste buds are different. So try them and then if you find you like them come order from Amazon.com they have the best prices ( believe me we have searched) HOWEVER, Not all of the different flavors will ship to Alaska. I would love to try the graham cracker flavor so please look into shipping more food products to Alaska.

These bars are great!! Good tasting and pretty healthy - bit too much sugar - but not as bad as some snacks. I give them to my kids after school before sports practice - good energy bars for them - great size for little ones!! Or a snack for the adults!!

Have a paddler on your Christmas list but don't know what to put in their stocking? Here's a list of things that will delight anyone who likes to canoe or kayak. All are under $25, so it won't break Santa's wallet!
Leatherman Micra: From minor boat repairs to cutting bagels, this little tool can do it all.
Bailing sponge: Sponges loose their effectiveness over time, not to mention they get awfully funky.
McNett UV Tech: Often overlooked, but UV protection is important to keep boats from being damaged from the harsh treatment they're put through.
Mini roll of duct tape: Duct tape holds the world together, and these little rolls fit in your pocket so there's never an excuse to leave it behind.
Clif Shots: These energy blocks work great to give a quick boost of energy when you need it most.
Waterproof first aid kit: Don't leave home without one.
Cam straps: Straps are often ignored but should be inspected or replaced annually in order to safely carry canoes and kayaks.
Waterproof camera or cell phone cases: Keeps valuables safe no matter what the conditions.
Tenacious Tape: When duct tape won't do the job, its time to bring in the big guns. This clear tape has incredibly strong glue that will stick to anything.
Fox 40 whistle: This thing is seriously loud! This needs to be in everybody's PFD.
Croakies: People are always forgetting these until they get to the river. One capsize and your sunglasses are gone with out a pair of eyeglass retainers.
GSI Lexan Wine Glasses: For after-paddle celebrations.
Lexan spoon: You can never have enough lexan spoons around. My spoons are always getting lost.
Penguin Sport Wash: This is an effective washing solution that works great on all outdoor gear.

For a little person, it sure seems like a toddler goes through a whole lot of money in wardrobe, doesn't it? Well, it's because they do. A toddler is growing at such a quick rate that they're going to need an entirely new wardrobe every season. That can really give moms and dads a headache when trying to shop for their little one! Of course you want to buy stylish, high-quality clothes for your child, but you don't want to break the bank doing so.
To take the pain out of the process of buying clothes for your toddler, try following these simple tips.
- If you feel you absolutely must have brand name clothes for your little one, try searching through the clearance racks at outlet stores or even buying secondhand at a store like Once Upon a Child. Luckily for you, toddlers usually grow out of their clothes before they wear them out so many secondhand clothes are in great condition.
- If you're on a budget, forget about brand names. What's important is the style and quality of a piece of children's clothing and not the name on its tag. For additional savings, make a point to visit clearance racks.
- Be aware that prices get slashed dramatically toward the end of each season because stores want to make room for their incoming merchandise. You can really clean up if you take advantage of these sales and buy clothes for your toddler to wear the next year.
The yard sale is the place where you can really strike gold when shopping for toddlers' clothing. Where else could you find a pair of jeans or a cute toddler's top for 25 cents? Prime garage sale season is late April through August, so as the season approaches you'll want to inventory your child's clothing. Make a mental list of what they need, then try to buy the clothes they'll require for the whole upcoming year.
With a little persistence you can clothe your toddler for just a fraction of the cost of buying new. Raising a child really takes a hit on your checkbook, but hopefully these tips will help you to save a little bit of cash when buying clothes for toddlers. Happy shopping and good luck!

These are great! I can't buy them often enough, my kids LOVE them. I love them. The remind me of Quaker oats chocolate chip granola bars, only the texture is a little different. But they taste really good, especially for being healthy! I feel much better giving these to my kids over so many alternative snacks. My daughters a carb-aholic so she loves these. I buy about one a month and yes they may cost more than said Quaker brand, but at least you know these are much healthier for your kids. They deserve the best! Can't speak highly enough of these bars!

These things are great. Unlike regular Clif bars (which are also wonderful in their way) these contain no soy, which has become important to us.
Our kids would never touch any of these "meal replacement" snack bars (at least not the ones we'd buy) but the two of us rely upon them. We both work hectic, unusual schedules and sometimes it's necessary to have something wholesome and nutritious to get us through until a break.
Note that these contain some electrolytes, too. They've become a near necessity on camping trips for their quick boost of wholesome, nutritious calories.
Taste pretty good, too, though I do wish they were a bit less sweet.
(The price we paid here via Amazon is actually no better than what we pay at some local stores - it was just convenient to buy this way this time. Shop for box prices in your area.)
