A tasty, healthy energy bar is a staple for me whether I'm traveling, hiking, camping, or just need a snack between meals. Clif Bars are by far the best. On a recent trip to Alaska, I packed about a dozen in my luggage and, along with some dried fruit and roasted nuts, improvised breakfast and lunch. This saved time, money, and hassle in a place where everything is expensive and even just finding vegetarian food is a challenge.Clif Bars are made with only natural ingredients (70% organic), they are high in vitamins and fiber, relatively low fat, no dairy, and they taste great. There are 18 flavors to choose from, so you're bound to find one you like. My favorite is Cool Mint Chocolate, but I sometimes mix it up with Peanut Toffee or Banana Bread. If you're looking for one with low fat, go for the Apricot.
Other bars I've tried are either too much like a candy bar, with tons of added sugar and preservatives, or they are barely edible, like the PowerBars that inspired Gary Erickson to make a better bar. Plus Clif Bars are widely available. I've seen them in most grocery stores, convenience stores, and even in outdoor stores like REI.
