[CLIF Bar](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clif-bar-cookies-crme) is introducing a new way for consumers to enjoy its White Chocolate Macadamia Nut, Chocolate Chip and Chocolate Peanut Brownie snack bar flavors in the form of CLIF Bar Thins. These [slimmed-down snacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/decadent-peanut-butter-treats-the-kraft-milk-chocolate-peanut-butter-thins-) contain just 100 calories per two bars, plus only five grams of sugar, two grams of protein and a gram of fiber in a single pack.

These to-go snack bars are made with ingredients like rolled oats and brown rice flour, oat flour, cocoa butter and other additions to create each unique, [thin and crispy flavor](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chip-city-cookies-thins-thinwiches).

Slimmed-down snacks speak to consumers who are looking for healthier food options, as well as the growing tendency to snack more frequently throughout the day rather than eating sit-down meals—a tendency that has continued to grow especially while people are working from home.
