Review: Clif Luna Recovery Smoothie

[KnottedYet]

I've long been a big fan of Clif goodies. But I've tended to stay away from the Luna line, cuz it seems like just repackaged normal Clif in smaller portions and for more $$.

Had a Luna Strawberry Banana recovery smoothie today after a little ride. It was in a little sample envelope, so I could only make 8 oz. The flavor was pretty darn good! (in all other respects it seemed just like my usual Clif Orange Mango recovery) The strawberry was perky, the hint of banana wasn't cloying. Over all it was a good mild and drinkable flavor, and it was so perfectly balanced and satisfying that I just chugged it down. Yum!

Too bad it's more expensive than Clif, (1.4 lb Luna for $23 vs. 2 lb Clif for $27) or I'd switch for a while. http://www.clifbar.com/food/products_luna_sport/1325

Edit: there are a few differences ingredient-wise between Clif and Luna recovery mixes (more protein in the Luna, for example) but the texture/mouth feel and mixability and such are pretty much the same.
