CLIF® Bar and Company, known for its nutritious snack bars loved by hikers, has released a new product at major drugstores, grocery, convenience, and natural retailers across Canada— CLIF® Thins. Significantly thinner than the brand's flagship product, CLIF® Thins are made with plant-based ingredients and "perfectly portioned [as a] snack-time pick-me-up."
Each pack of CLIF® Thins contains two units. Featuring organic rolled oats of Canadian origin, the nutritious snack bars are available in Chocolate Chip and White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Natural flavours. Each serving boasts 100 to 110 calories and five grams of sugar.
The market for health-focused nutritious snack bars continues to be on the rise as consumer demand for healthy on-the-go food intensifies and brands remain competitive.
