Larabars, Cliff Bars, etc.......Energy Bars

[Catrin]

So far Cliff bars, Shot Blocs, little packs of nuts/raisins/chocolate chips/ banana/PB sandwiches occasionally all seem to work fine. Every time I venture out to other kinds of food on the bike my stomach gets upset... Hammer gels are also nice but my fingers get all sticky - and I prefer to actually chew, though I do keep one or two in my pack or seat trunk just in case.

I've tried Larabars and a couple of other brands, but just don't care for them for some reason - Cliff bars work for me, though not all of them - several are just sickeningly sweet.

I used to use Clif Bars and I switched to Luna Bars, as they are a little bit smaller and therefore, less calories. They are billed as the "women's version" of Clif Bars, but it's really just marketing. My DH eats them, too. I use them before, during, and sometimes after a ride and I keep them in my briefcase for snacks on days I don't get home until later. Sometimes I even crave them, which is strange.

I eat a Luna Protein as a snack most days. They are convenient and easy to take out to recess on those days I have duty. Thom eats them as well - even though they are the "women's" version.

I don't like to eat while I'm teaching, so a good sized snack between 10:00 and 10:30 is a must.

I swore off Larabars a few years ago when Thom got really sick after eating one.
