NYVegan Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 I was fortunate to find a whole bunch of cliff builder bars from at my local GNC that are expiring soon. Lucky because that meant they were only 50 scents each Here is the problem though. They are all the chocolate clif bars and in my opinion have way too much chocolate. I have noticed that I can peel the chocolate off the top of them though. Do you guys think I am loosing any of the protein by doing this? I assume all the protein is in the crispy part of the bar but I may be wrong. Does anyone know if there is protein in the actual chocolate layer? Thanks guys.

thendanisays Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 i believe you are correct. i think the chocolate layer is mostly saturated fat. so thats awesome! I cant peel it off mine, so its probably because theyre almost expired. but, sweet deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lobsteriffic Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 Too much chocolate....? That doesn't compute. Awesome deal on the bars though, that's such a great price! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaryStella Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 Too much chocolate....? That doesn't compute. Awesome deal on the bars though, that's such a great price! I agree. I doubt the chocolate layer has any substantial protein though. If you let them melt a bit I am sure the chocolate layer will come off although I don't know way you would want to do that.

J-Roc Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 Bars should only be used in emergency situations when you're in a jam (i.e. RARELY). Whole foods are much better... at the least pre-making a shake is better then bars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 Why, because some people don't consume caffiene (chocolate) because of sleep disorders? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tuc Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 Actually chocolate does have quite a bit of protein. Also, I think those bars are mainly meant for bulking... I think it's waste of food to peel the chocolate off. http://www.cacaoweb.net/nutrition.html Here's some nutritional info. I REALLY wish I could find Builders at that price. If I order a bulk pack, they cost at least 2.10€ ($2.90) each. And that means I have to order at least 10 boxes (120 bars) including shipping & other stuff.

I eat them on rare occassion only when I have one of my major dizzy moments and leave home without my protein shake or meal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NYVegan Posted May 20, 2009 Author Share Posted May 20, 2009 The problem is I work at a summer sleep away camp. The meals hey serve here are hardly vegan friendly. I eat what I can and try to have some of my own food on the side to make it through the day. While I agree that bars are not the best thing, it is all I can really do here.
