CLIF Bar - Crunchy Peanut Butter (68 g)

CLIF Bar Crunchy Peanut Butter is a 68 g oat bar made with organic peanut butter and chopped peanuts. Vitasave sells it as a single bar or as a box of 12, for one to try or a supply for the cupboard. Each bar has 260 calories, 11 g of protein, 40 g of carbohydrate and 5 g of fibre, and 70% of its ingredients are organic.

What is in a Crunchy Peanut Butter bar

The Canadian ingredient list starts with organic sugars (brown rice syrup, tapioca syrup and cane syrup), then organic rolled oats. Soy rice crisps made from soy protein isolate, rice flour and barley malt extract give the bar its crunch, along with organic roasted soybeans. The peanut flavour comes from three sources: organic peanut butter, peanut pieces and peanut flour. Chicory fibre, organic soy flour, natural flavours and salt finish the list.

Per bar, the Nutrition Facts table lists 8 g of fat (1 g saturated, 0 g trans), 17 g of sugars, 230 mg of sodium, 250 mg of potassium and no cholesterol. It also lists 1.75 mg of iron, 60 mg of magnesium and 40 mg of calcium.

Allergens

The bar contains peanuts, barley, oats and soy. It may contain tree nuts, milk, sesame, rye, triticale and wheat. There is no dairy or egg in the ingredient list, but the may-contain statement rules it out for anyone with a severe milk or tree nut allergy.

Single bar or box of 12

The single bar is the simple way to try the flavour or to grab one for the trail. The box of 12 holds twelve individually wrapped 68 g bars, 816 g in all, enough for one bar every weekday for more than two weeks. Every wrapper carries its own Nutrition Facts table and ingredient list, so a bar taken out of the box still has its label.

How to enjoy it

CLIF suggests eating a bar one to three hours before exercise with water, during long and lower-intensity outings such as hiking or bike touring, or afterwards. It also works as a snack between meals on a long day at work or school. Store the bars at room temperature; a bar left in a hot car will soften. The full directions are under How to Take.

Who it suits

It suits hikers, cyclists, climbers and commuters who want a filling oat bar with real peanut pieces in a backpack or desk drawer. The ingredient list has no animal products, which suits people who eat plant-based, as long as the may-contain statement is not a concern. It is not for anyone with a peanut allergy.
