Most health bars offer a lot of nutrition but not all offer good taste. Some despite being health bars are weighty in the calorie count and high in fat content. You have to make yourself familiar with the contents and judge a bar on that as well as taste.
Luna bars are specifically made for women because they contain soy protein, soy being a very important ingredient in that it promotes healthy heart and muscle tissue. It also helps maintain a balance when you ar going through the changes.
They are chocolate coated on the bottom, I’m a real chocoholic so this sells them to me in the taste department. Some of the flavors have real cherries i.e. Cherry covered Chocolate ,Nutz Over Chocolate, dark my favorite chocolate of course and a nice crunch,, S’Mores, Sweet Dreams, . S’Mores is a blend of peanuts and cocoa soy crisps, with caramel mixed in. Sweet Dreams has peanuts, caramel, and cocoa soy crisps.
They are all very filling which is nice. I’m not eating them as part of a diet more as healthy snacks but filling is good.They all have a slight aftertaste which I attribute to the so content but a drink of water will wash that away. They all are a nice size , great for travel, on a plane in a car or even at the office.
A really nice aspect is they contribute to the Breast Cancer Fund with each sale. my best friend is going through chemo right now so that makes me choose Luna Bars.
All these bars are available at any drugstore. for anywhere from .99 to 1.59 a bar

The Clif bar is high in fiber and has Soy which is excellent for your health. It has 570 mg Potassium, 10 grams of Protein, 370 grams of Potassium to avoid electrolyte imbalance, 150 mg of Sodium, and 10 grams of Protein. I love the high protein aspect. It’s also high fat 4.5 and is 240 calories so I would suggest this as more of an endurance bar since it prevents surge and drop in energy. Eaten at reasonable intervals it will keep your energy on an even keel. So compared to the Soy bar it is an energy bar rather than a diet bar. It relies on complex carbohydrates to keep your enery even. It also has, in it’s favor , all natural contents and organic ingredients.
Flavors: Cookies ‘n Cream, Peanut Butter, Carrot Cake, Cranberry Apply Cherry, Chocolate Chip, Apricot and Chocolate Almond Fudge as well as the Brownie flavor., I’ve only tried the Brownie flavor. It’s quite sweet and because I don’t want the added calories I’ve avoided this brand.I don’t need a power bar per se just more of a healthy snack..

It’s also organic. There re many choices out there and it makes sense to see what works best for your needs.
