Before early-morning workouts or in the middle of a long bike ride, I often reach for a Clif Bar. I have my regular go-to flavors, but my favorites by far are the seasonal holiday offerings. The flavors are spot on. Hot Chocolate really tastes a cup of cocoa, marshmallows and all. Spiced Pumpkin Pie has all the flavors of its Thanksgiving dessert namesake. Iced Gingerbread is gingery, sweet, and frankly delicious. All three taste more like treats than energy bars. These flavors sell out fast, so look for them on the shelves of your local grocery store or REI. And at $1.40 a bar, you can stock up on your favorites to last you well into the New Year.
