Review: CLIF Mojo Sweet and Salty Honey Roasted Peanut Trail Mix Bar

I was strolling through Marsh recently and made my usual trip through the nutrition bar aisle looking for new products to review.  As I was perusing what was on the shelf, I happened upon a bar that I thought I had to have reviewed before, but after looking at the CLIF review archives, I found that I hadn't yet reviewed this CLIF Mojo Sweet and Salty Honey Roasted Peanut Trail Mix Bar for some reason.  I'm not quite sure why either as I'm guessing it's not a new product, although the lack of presence on the CLIF website could leave me to believe otherwise.  I honestly don't know if it's new, a boring recipe or just something that I had blatantly missed, but after ascertaining that it was a "new" review subject for me, I quickly grabbed this bar up for $1.25.  The bar itself is 1.6 ounces, 200 calories and has nine grams of protein.

Review: Quaker Big Chewy Sweet & Salty Caramel Popcorn Crunch Granola Bars

I've touched on one of these new Quaker Big Chewy Sweet & Salty granola bars in a prior review and in classic Chewy bar fashion, it was tasty, but certainly not anything that would re-define my life.  Even though I've got that prior experience with countless Chewy bars, I was still anxious to dive into this box of five Quaker Big Chewy Sweet & Salty Caramel Popcorn Crunch Granola Bars because just the flavor combination seemed intriguing since it is something that I've never seen in granola bar form before.  Anyway, I picked up this box up on sale at Meijer for $2.00 and each bar in the box was 1.41 ounces and had 170 calories.

Review: Quaker Big Chewy Sweet & Salty Chocolate & Salted Caramel Granola Bars

Hey, hey!!  Another new Quaker Chewy product!  I hadn't reviewed one of these for a long, long time, so I'm glad Chewy bars can make it back to the blog, albeit in the Big Chewy form.  I picked up a box of six of these Quaker Big Chewy Sweet & Salty Chocolate & Salted Caramel Granola Bars on sale at Meijer for $2.00 and each bar in the box weighs in at 1.41 ounces (it's 60% bigger!) with a robust 170 calories.  I guess it is a BIG Chewy bar after all, so that calorie count shouldn't surprise me.

Review: Larabar uber Sticky Bun Sweet and Salty Fruit & Nut Bar

Seriously, who doesn't love a nice hot and gooey sticky bun?  They are freaking awesome, so when I saw Larabar was introducing a new product modeled after the extremely decadent treat through their uber line of products, I knew I had to try it out for another review.  I picked up this new Larabar uber Sticky Bun Sweet and Salty Fruit & Nut Bar on sale at Kroger for $0.99 and it comes in at 1.42 ounces with 220 calories and five grams of protein.  Since it aims to be a super-healthy version of a decidedly unhealthy treat, it's gluten free, kosher, etc.

Review: Larabar uber Coconut Macaroon Sweet and Salty Fruit & Nut Bar

I can appreciate a company that continues to spit out new product variations and Larabar is definitely one of those as I've hit on a cornucopia of their product here on the blog in the past.  This time, I picked up this Larabar uber Coconut Macaroon Sweet and Salty Fruit & Nut Bar on sale at Kroger for $1.00.  The bar comes in at the measureables of 1.42 ounces, 220 calories and four grams of protein.  There's obviously also some other numbers in there, but I'm lazy and only want to hit on what I deem to be the high points.

Review: Cascadian Farm Organic Sweet & Salty Peanut Pretzel Chewy Granola Bars

As I've mentioned before, Cascadian Farm's marketing to me by sending me free products for reviews worked.  I've bought and reviewed several of their products on my own based on those positive reviews and another sale at my local Kroger led me to pick up a box of five of these Cascadian Farm Organic Sweet & Salty Peanut Pretzel Chewy Granola Bars for $2.49.  Each bar in the box is 1.2 ounces and has 160 calories with three grams of protein.  Obviously, based on the name, they are trying to play up what can sometimes be an overplayed flavor combination with the sweet and salty mix, so it'll be interesting to see how it turns because I'm always reticent of products that make that claim.

Review: CLIF Mojo Chocolate Almond Coconut Fudge Sweet & Salty Trail Mix Bar

Another day, another CLIF bar.  That's not the case, but CLIF has so many products that it just seems that way.  To me, they seem like the creme de la creme of the energy bar world...multiple flavors, multiple product lines, big publicity, etc.  They are just everywhere and have been everywhere all over this blog with reviews.  Today, I've got another review and this time is their CLIF Mojo Chocolate Almond Coconut Fudge Sweet & Salty Trail Mix Bar that I picked up on sale at Kroger for $1.00.  It's 1.59 ounces and comes in at 200 calories with eight grams of protein.

Review: Nature Valley Sweet & Salty Nut Roasted Mixed Nut Bar

As I was getting my iPhone camera ready to take the picture above, I realized that I eat a TON of snack bars.  Yes, I should have already known that but sometimes I'm oblivious to my surroundings.  After my so-called revelation, I went ahead got this Nature Valley Sweet & Salty Roasted Mixed Nut Bar ready for the review.  I picked up a box of six of these bars on sale at Kroger for $2.49 and each bar is 1.2 ounces, 160 calories and has three grams of protein.

Review: CLIF Mojo Peanut Butter Pretzel Sweet & Salty Trail Mix Bar

I was just looking through the CLIF bar review archives here on the blog and just say that I haven't reviewed a CLIF Mojo bar since July 2012.  It's not like I've been avoiding them, but I just haven't seen any different flavors available in my stores until recently when I saw two different flavors available and snatched them up for some long absent Mojo reviews.  First up is this CLIF Mojo Peanut Butter Pretzel Sweet & Salty Trail Mix Bar that I picked up at Kroger on sale for $1.00.  It weighs 1.6 ounces, has 190 calories and nine grams of protein.  It's also 70% organic, so all you tree huggers out there can feel warm and fuzzy about this one.

Review: Kellogg's Special K Sweet & Salty Popcorn Chips

A while back during Special K week, I had a request from a reader to review a Special K product that I had not done yet and frankly, the thought of it bored me.  But, I do like to fulfill requests from my loyal readers, so that leads me to this review of the Kellogg's Special K Sweet & Salty Popcorn Chips.  I picked up a box of these at Kroger for $2.49 and the first thing of note is that this box contains more product than the cracker chip boxes as it contains 4.5 ounces of Popcorn Chips as opposed to the 3.5 in the other flavors.  Since this is a bigger box, there are more servings in this box at 4.5 and each serving is 120 calories.  For reference, a serving size is about 28 chips.

Review: Larabar Uber Apple Turnover Fruit & Nut Bar

Like I said in my last Larabar review, I've been hard on Larabar product in general in my reviews, but I found that I liked the first bar that I tried out of their Uber line of bars that I had the last time.  With that positive outcome, I was anxious to give this Larabar Uber Apple Turnover Fruit & Nut Bar a try as it was once again from their sweet and salty Uber bar line.  Like the last, I picked this up on sale at Kroger for $0.99 and it comes in at 1.42 ounces with 190 calories and has three grams of protein.  Like all bars in this line, Uber means awesome and while the last bar was not awesome, so to speak, it was quite could. Could Uber continue its winning streak?  I guess you'll just have to keep reading to find out!

Review: Balance Bar Bare Sweet & Salty Chocolate Almond Bar

Since I got a free shipment of these from Balance Bar, I've obviously covered a lot of flavors here on the blog in prior reviews.  The good news is that I've only got a few more flavors from that free shipment to review after this one, so I'm eventually going to run out.  Actually, that's not true because I'm guessing that Balance Bar will keep introducing new flavors as time goes on.  Anyway, this specific bar from that shipment is the Balance Bar Bare Sweet & Salty Chocolate Almond bar from their Bar line of bars.  It's the standard 1.76 ounces and it has 200 calories.  It also packs fifteen grams of protein and comes in a revealing clear wrapper.  Fancy.

Review: Larabar Uber Cherry Cobbler Fruit & Nut Bar

In my many Larabar reviews, I've admittedly been tough on them on occasion.  For a lot of those reviews, I just didn't understand how a product with seemingly no discernible flavor (or at least the flavor it said it was going to be) could make it to market and sell successfully.  So, when I spotted a new product line of theirs with these "Uber" bars, I was a bit skeptical of them.  Curiosity sometimes gets the best of me though, so I picked up this Larabar Uber Cherry Cobbler Fruit & Nut Bar on sale at Kroger for $0.99.  It's 1.42 ounces and has 190 calories and four grams of protein.  Also, in case you were wondering, "Uber" is referred to on the wrapper as having synonyms of "super duper, wicked awesome."  Another amusing thing was that the picture of the front of the wrapper carried the tagline of "Enlarged to show ubnerness."  Seriously?!  For me being skeptical going into this, seeing a bar proclaim itself as that just made me want to hate this bar before I even dug in.

Review: Zone Perfect Sweet & Salty Cashew Pretzel Nutrition Bar

Zone Perfect has had a good reputation here on the blog so far.  In prior reviews, I've reviewed their bars previously and just drooled over some of them.  This time, I'm venturing out into a different product line of theirs, the Sweet & Salty Zone Perfect bars and specifically, the Cashew Pretzel flavor.  This one clocks in 1.58 ounces with 200 calories and a respectable ten grams of protein.  I picked it up at Kroger on sale for $1.00.
