The catch

Each bar carries 16g of sugar and 5g of saturated fat, so it eats closer to a candy bar than a clean protein snack (source)

The honest take

Clif Builders Vanilla Almond packs 20g of plant based protein from soy into a 68g bar, and it is genuinely vegan, gluten free, and Non GMO Project Verified with no artificial sweeteners. The honest catch is that it eats more like a candy bar than a clean snack, carrying 16g of sugar from three added sweeteners plus 5g of saturated fat that comes largely from palm kernel oil. Clif did trim the sugar from about 21g down to 16g, which helps, but this is still an ultra processed bar built on soy protein isolate, cane syrup, and brown rice syrup. Reach for it when you want a filling, tasty protein hit you can toss in a bag, not when you want a low sugar or minimally processed option.
