No, the Total Carb. includes all carbohydrates fiber, sugar, and other carbs.
All of our Nectar Cacao bars have some caffeine because chocolate is a natural source of caffeine. Dark Chocolate Walnut and Dark Chocolate Raspberry Nectar Cacao have 7mg and 10 mg of caffeine, respectively. Dark Chocolate Mocha has more, 40mg, since it has coffee in it. In comparison, an average cup of coffee contains ~100 mg of caffeine.
LUNA Sport Moons are a semi-solid, easily chewable source of carbohydrates—your body's preferred source of fuel during activity.
LUNA Sport Moons are very similar to Clif SHOT BLOKS chews, with the following key differences:
• Size – Moons are half the bite-size as SHOT BLOKS chews (5 grams vs. 10 grams), so they are a smaller bite size and fit easier into women’s smaller mouths.
• Servings – One packet of Moons is one serving of 100 calories, vs. a packet of SHOT BLOKS chews which contains 2 servings and is 200 calories.
• Vitamins & Minerals – Moons contain different functional benefits with each flavor.
• Flavors – Moons come in luscious flavors like Blueberry, Watermelon and Pomegranate.
LUNA Sport Moons come in 3 great-tasting flavors:
• Blueberry with antioxidant vitamins A, C & E
• Watermelon with energizing B vitamins
• Pomegranate with 50% daily value vitamin C.
LUNA Sport Moons were designed for Women Endurance Athletes – Cyclists, Runners, Mountain Bikers, Triathletes, Adventure Racers, etc. – who were looking for alternative eating options in their sports nutrition products.
LUNA Sport Moons can be eaten 15-30 minutes prior to activity to increase blood sugar levels, and then every 20-30 minutes during activity to maintain energy levels. Keep in mind that LUNA Sport Moons will affect your blood sugar levels more slowly than gel since they are semi-solid.
Gels and LUNA Sport Moons are easily interchangeable since they both provide carbohydrate to working muscles. Since one packet of Moons equals 100 calories (the same amount of calories as a typical gel packet) you can go back and forth between each, while easily keeping track of your calorie intake. Always follow LUNA Sport Moons with a mouthful of water to aid in digestion.
No, not at this time.
Yes; all of the LUNA Sport Moons flavors contain 70 mg of Sodium and 20 mg of Potassium per serving (one packet).
Mineral salts such as sodium chloride, potassium, magnesium are known collectively as electrolytes. These electrolytes allow electrical impulses to travel properly throughout your body, allowing for normal bodily function. When you sweat you start to deplete yourself of these electrolytes. Similar to dehydration, electrolyte depletion will first lead to performance declines and then onto more serious health issues. Each Moon provides sodium and potassium to help counteract the losses in your sweat.
LUNA Sport Moons offer three great-tasting flavors that come in moon-shaped, bite-size pieces that have a soft, but not too chewy, “bite.” LUNA Sport Moons come apart in your mouth quickly so they can be swallowed easily—a real asset when you’re on the move. Lastly, one packet of Moons chews provides 100 calories, so it’s simple to keep track of calorie intake during long outings.
LUNA Sport Moons are 50% Complex Carbohydrate and 50% Simple Carbohydrate.
Well-designed studies have not been able to prove that consuming protein during activity has any performance benefits beyond consuming adequate carbohydrate. Furthermore, consuming protein during activity may actually hurt performance by displacing carbohydrate, slowing carbohydrate digestion, and causing digestive distress.
No, LUNA Sport Moons do not contain gluten.
We product tested LUNA Sport Moons during the winter ski and snowboard season and the product did great with no undue hardening.
No.
No, LUNA Sport Moons are not kosher at this time.
LUNA Sport Moons are guaranteed 12 months from the time they are packed. You can find the Best Buy date on the side of the package. We guarantee the product until that date.
Electrolyte Splash is best consumed DURING activity. Consuming carbohydrates during activity enhances performance by providing a continuous supply of carbohydrate to working muscles. Your body stores a limited amount of carbohydrates and the harder you go, the faster you burn those carbohydrates. When you burn through the last of these stored carbohydrates, you run out of energy. By consuming carbohydrate during activity you will increase the length of time you can go. Drinking Electrolyte Splash is also a good way of staying hydrated. It contains both carbohydrate and sodium, two key ingredients to absorbing fluid and maintaining hydration during exercise.
The quantity consumed very much depends on the intensity and duration of activity as well as the external conditions such as wind and heat. For instance if you’re doing an easy 90 minute ride on flat roads in cool temperatures, one bottle may be plenty. But if you’re in the middle of a 5 hour ride in 85+ degree weather with lots of climbing, then we’d recommend drinking 16oz every 30 minutes. Ultimately it’s best for you to experiment and find out how your total consumption corresponds with performance.
• Electrolyte Splash is the first organic women’s sports drink. It is certified Organic by Quality Assurance International (QAI) and contains 80% Organic Ingredients. No other sports drinks on the market use organic material in their products.
• Electrolyte Splash tastes great and keeps you coming back for more. We designed it with intentionally high levels of sodium and tartness, so that it would quench your thirst, and then subtly prime your thirst mechanism. That way you keep drinking and stay hydrated.
• Electrolyte Splash contains 80 calories per 16-ounce serving – that’s only 80 calories per water bottle. There are no artificial sweeteners or colors, which are often times used in low calorie drinks.
• Electrolyte Splash contains vitamins & minerals women athletes tend to be deficient in, such as Iron, Calcium, Folic Acid, and vitamins A, C & E. It also includes energizing B vitamins like Thiamin, Riboflavin, Niacin and B6 and B12.
• LUNA Sport Electrolyte Splash uses a high level of recyclable materials in its packaging.
In developing the LUNA Sport line of products, our intention was to give women athletes various options for how many calories they take in and how. With LUNA Sport Electrolyte Splash, we offer an 80-calorie sports drink that will primarily keep you hydrated and replace the electrolytes you lose through sweat. The carbohydrate level is enough to keep you going and depending on the duration of your workout, it might be just the right amount. However, for longer or more intense training, you may need to ingest more calories/carbohydrates to keep energized.
Because sports drinks on the market today were not designed with women in mind, many women athletes end up diluting them in order to reduce the amount of calories or sweetness levels. LUNA Sport makes it so that they can use the product as was designed.
The primary different between Clif SHOT Electrolyte and LUNA Sport Electrolyte is the calories – LUNA Sport Electrolyte is 80 calories per 16 ounces vs. Clif SHOT Electrolyte which is 160 calories per 16 ounces. In addition to that, LUNA Sport Electrolyte contains key vitamins and minerals that women athletes are often time deficient in.
Think of our recommendation as a starting point. The mixing chart on our label will yield a 4% carbohydrate solution, and will provide 80 calories per 16 ounce serving. Despite this, everyone is not the same – between our different body sizes and training goals, some of us want more calories than others. Some will prefer a stronger blend of product and will function quite well on it, while others will need a more dilute solution to keep their stomachs happy. Experiment with different concentrations to find out what works best for you.
The primary purpose of LUNA Sport Electrolyte Splash is to deliver what you as an athlete need and can actually use during your training and racing: carbohydrate, fluid, and electrolytes. However, studies show that many women athletes are deficient in vitamins and minerals like Iron, Folic Acid, Calcium, Vitamins A, C, and E - all of which are critical to daily well being. While there is no proven performance benefit to consuming these vitamins during activity, it is an easy way for you to get these nutrients that are often times hard to get within your regular diet on a daily basis.
Well-designed studies have not been able to prove that consuming protein during activity has any performance benefits beyond consuming adequate carbohydrate. Furthermore, consuming protein during activity may actually hurt performance by displacing carbohydrate, slowing carbohydrate digestion, and causing digestive distress. Finally, sports drinks containing protein tend to “spoil” as they warm up providing off tastes and smells, which obviously do not promote further consumption. Try LUNA Sport Recovery Smoothie if you are looking to help rebuild muscle after a workout or want a delicious way to get more protein in your diet.
No.
LUNA Sport Electrolyte Splash contains 80% organic ingredients and is certified organic by QAI. While Organic products have not been shown to help athletes perform better than products grown conventionally (with pesticides and herbicides), buying organic will undoubtedly contribute to better overall air and water quality which is of great value to endurance athletes. Who wants to ride or run in polluted air, or swim in a dirty lake?
Absolutely not. All of our flavors and colors are naturally derived.
Both are proprietary blends of plant and/or herb extracts. They contain no animal products or MSG.
Yes, Electrolyte Splash is certified Kosher by KSA.
Yes. None of the ingredients and processes used to make LUNA Sport Electrolyte Splash are animal-derived. Electrolyte contains no dairy products.
Unlike most of our competitors most of the LUNA Sport Electrolyte Splash packaging is recyclable. The paper label can be removed from the canister and recycled as mixed paper. The inks are soy-based. Most of our competitors use what’s called pressure-sensitive labels where the label is adhered with glue to the canister. It is virtually impossible to remove the label, which means that the canister will not be recycled curb-side. We chose to use a glue-dot application that allows the label to be easily pulled off, which then allows the canister to be recycled. The canister itself can be recycled wherever #2 HDPE is accepted (most municipalities).
Currently the canister lid and scoop are not recyclable, but we will be working to make this a reality in the future. The ink on the lid sticker is soy-based.
Upon finishing a workout, your body has a window of approximately 30 minutes for maximum absorption of carbohydrate. (During intense activity you are depleting yourself of carbohydrate). Take advantage of this window by drinking LUNA Sport Recovery Smoothie, which has 21g of carbohydrate per 8oz serving. Along with carbs, LUNA Sport Recovery Smoothie contains 8 grams of whey protein which helps rebuild muscle and increases the amount of carbohydrate your body will up-take versus taking carbohydrate alone.
You can also drink LUNA Sport Recovery Smoothie anytime you want more protein in your diet – whether it’s because you don’t eat meat or just can’t seem to get enough protein in your regular daily diet.
LUNA Sport Recovery Smoothie also provides electrolytes, anti-oxidants, and supplemental amino acids. Electrolytes replace what you just sweated out, anti-oxidants fight the oxidative stress of activity, and specific amino acids boost your immune system and help with glycogen re-synthesis.
• LUNA Sport Recovery Smoothie is the first natural Protein Recovery drink for women athletes.
• LUNA Sport Recovery Smoothie tastes great and can be treated as a reward to yourself for a job well done.
• LUNA Sport Recovery Smoothie is the only women’s recovery protein drink featuring organic ingredients. LUNA Sport Recovery Smoothie contains 55% Organic Ingredients and is sourced from 100% non-GMO sources. None of our competitors use any organic ingredient in their products.
• LUNA Sport Recovery Smoothie uses a high level of recyclable materials in its packaging.
There are a few differences:
• Calories – LUNA Sport Recovery Smoothie contains 120 calories per 8 ounce serving vs. Clif SHOT Recovery which contains 160 calories per 8 ounce serving.
• Protein – LUNA Sport Recovery Smoothie contains 8 grams of whey protein vs. Clif SHOT Recovery which contains 5 grams of whey protein.
• Vitamins & Minerals - LUNA Sport Recovery Smoothie includes vitamins and minerals women athletes tend to be deficient in.
• Taste – As athletes, we know that after a workout it’s important that we feed our body what it needs in order to repair muscle, fight the oxidative stress of activity, and boost our immune system –all with the goal of feeling good and ready for the next workout. But we also know that what we eat has to taste good – after all, we’re taking back in those precious calories we just worked so hard to burn! LUNA Sport Recovery Smoothie tastes delicious and with only 120 calories, doesn’t un-do the effort you just made.
LUNA Sport Recovery Smoothie was designed to be a delicious drink when mixed with water. That being said, mixing LUNA Sport Recovery Smoothie with skim milk or soy milk only makes it that much better, as well as gives an added boost of calcium and protein. Try it both ways to see which one works for you.
Protein has two purposes: First it provides the basis of muscular regeneration. Second, it’s been clearly shown that in the presence of protein, carbohydrate re-uptake is more substantial.
No, neither flavor of LUNA Sport Recovery Smoothie contains caffeine.
Absolutely not. All of our flavors and colors are naturally derived.
No, LUNA Sport Recovery Smoothie is not Kosher. We are working towards this.
No. LUNA Sport Recovery Smoothie contains whey protein isolate which is dairy-derived.
LUNA Sport Recovery Smoothie contains 55% Organic ingredients, but the overall product is not certified organic. The reason for this is that at this time Amino Acids in general have not been approved by the National Organics Program (NOP). This does not mean that they will not be approved in the future; it’s just that they have not been considered yet. The amino acids in LUNA Sport Recovery Smoothie are plant derived and are non-GMO.

Guar/Xantham is an entirely natural, NOP-approved thickener. In the case of LUNA Sport Recovery Smoothie it helps makes the drink creamier, like a shake or smoothie.
Fastpak™ is the all new package unique to Bloks®. It provides an overall smaller package, so it fits better in jersey pockets, running shorts, and backpacks. It also opens easily and then allows for quick access just by squeezing up each Bloks one by one. Finally, the packaging reduction yielded a 33% reduction of packaging material.
CLIF Quench™ is for hot and sweaty athletes and active people, to hydrate during and after activity. It’s for anyone who wants a sport drink and doesn’t want to compromise on natural and organic ingredients.
CLIF Quench is an all-natural & organic sport drink that contains only what your body needs for healthy hydration.
• Made with 88% organic ingredients, and NO junk.
(NO high fructose corn syrup, artificial flavors, sweeteners, colors or preservatives).
• More sustainable packaging.
The 1st bottle of its kind made from 40% recycled PET. PET shrink label is also recyclable.
• It works.
Contains the optimal amount of electrolytes and low carbs for maximizing hydration.
• Tested with athletes: they were able to run faster and push harder, and liked the taste better.
CLIF Quench is available in Lime-Ade, Fruit Punch, Orange, and Strawberry Citrus.
The organic ingredients in CLIF Quench come from its sole sweetener – organic evaporated cane juice. Under the Organic labeling regulations, the water and salt in the drink cannot be counted in this percentage. The ingredients that make up the other 12% are natural flavors, citric acid, potassium, and magnesium, and these last 3 are also not allowed under Organic regulations to be labeled as organic, even though they are natural.
With CLIF Quench and CLIF SHOT Electrolyte Replacement Drink, we’re offering athletes a choice so they can decide and use what works best for their activity levels.
The CLIF SHOT Electrolyte drink has higher levels of sodium and carbohydrates, which an athlete might choose as an energy source during physical endurance activity over a longer period of time. It also comes in powder form, so athletes can customize the amount they want to use.
CLIF Quench Sport Drink is a hydration drink for athletes and active people – or when you’re just hot, sweaty, and thirsty – to give you the right balance of electrolytes
CLIF Quench offers the optimal balance of electrolytes and carbohydrates for hydration in a convenient, ready-to-drink bottle so you can easily pick up and go – and keep going.
If you want to drink CLIF Quench during more of an endurance activity, you can choose to add your extra fuel in the form of your favorite CLIF food – like a CLIF Bar or SHOT Bloks. Solid food takes longer for to digest, thus the process does not interfere with the effective fluid transfer of CLIF Quench.
As you start to sweat, you’re losing water from your blood. The idea behind hydration for sport performance is to try to counteract this water loss. You want to increase the amount of water in the blood to be able to regulate your body temperature and deliver blood to the muscles where all your metabolic activity is happening.
To hydrate, you depend on the process of osmosis: because your blood is getting more concentrated when you exercise, you want a sport drink that is “less concentrated”, so that water will want to move into your blood. CLIF Quench has lower carbohydrates so that nothing gets in the way of this effective water movement into your blood.
You also need a little bit of sodium to pull the water into the blood. The small amount of sodium in a typical sports drink is enough to slow the rate of dehydration but it’s not enough to stop it. You need a bit more sodium, like the amount in Clif Quench, to effectively transport the amount of water that your body needs.
In the electrolyte blend with sodium, we have also included potassium to aid in the relief of muscle cramps and magnesium for muscle recovery.
If you just drank water during exercise, it wouldn’t necessarily get into the cells. You need some salt to help move that water into your blood.
CLIF Quench uses a combination of carbohydrates plus electrolytes in the right balance for maximum hydration. The sugar in CLIF Quench comes from organic evaporated cane juice and makes up a very small overall percentage (about 4%) of the total drink. Other sport drinks on the market usually contain more sugar – about 6% of the total beverage. Carbohydrates play a significant role in the performance and flavor of CLIF Quench.
As its sodium source, CLIF Quench uses Real Salt™, which is an all-natural, kosher-certified sea salt that’s not refined or altered by silicates, dextrose or other additives found in many sport drinks.
“Natural Flavors” come from natural food sources such as spices or fruit juices that flavor food. The process to extract the flavors is also natural such as steeping or grating. The natural flavors in Clif Quench™ come from sources like limes, tangerines, cherries, strawberries, as well as other foods. Our natural flavor blend is a proprietary recipe, which is the reason we don’t list out the ingredients specifically.
Yes, CLIF Quench is certified kosher by Orthodox Union.
CLIF Quench does not source any ingredients that are genetically engineered.
CLIF Quench is pasteurized and sealed to protect its integrity and unopened does not need to go in the fridge. Please do refrigerate after opening and finish within two days.
Yes, kids can enjoy CLIF Quench beginning at age 4. Clif Quench contains 130 mg of sodium per 8 oz and is a low sodium food when consumed as a single serving. This falls well under the 1,200mg Dietary Recommended Upper Limits for sodium intake ages 4-9 and under the 1,500 mg Dietary Recommended Upper Limits for ages 9 and greater. Keep in mind that sodium needs for kids may vary during heavy activity or extreme heat.
The CLIF Quench bottle and label are the most planet-friendly options for consumer beverages on the U.S. market. The bottle is made from 40% recycled PET plastic – the highest level of any U.S. consumer bottled beverage. The adhesive-free PETG label is fully recyclable with the bottle. PET is also the most efficient recyclable plastic available and can be recycled into bottles over and over again. We continue to look for ways to make all of our packaging more planet-friendly.
Also, our commitment extends beyond the bottle. As a member of 1% For The Planet, Clif Quench is committed to environmental restoration and partnerships in the areas of water, waste & climate. For example, in partnership with American Forests Global ReLeaf, we’re working to reforest watersheds throughout the US. Together with NativeEnergy, we are offsetting all CO2 emissions generated by the manufacturing & transport of CLIF Quench.
The CLIF Quench package is made #1 PET plastic, which is recyclable in most communities. The PETG label is recyclable with the bottle.
The caps are made from #5 polypropylene, which is recyclable only in select areas at this time.
The CLIF Quench bottle is the first of its kind to be made from such a large percentage of post-consumer recycled PET plastic.
We’re working hard to increase the amount of recycled plastic in our bottles. To make sure that there is enough recycled PET plastic available, you can help by recycling all of your plastic bottles.
Yes, the recycled PET #1 plastic that we use in the CLIF Quench bottle is FDA-approved for use in food and beverage containers. At no time does PET #1 plastic contain any amount of the chemical BPA, regardless of whether or not it is recycled or virgin plastic. BPA (bisphenol A), which is linked to health problems, is only found in plastic #7, polycarbonate.

Yes, LUNA Protein bars are considered a "low glycemic" food due to the balance of carbohydrate, fat, protein, fiber, and portion size. Glycemic Index (GI) can be a great tool for fine-tuning the carbohydrate choices in your meal plan, but it shouldn't be your exclusive consideration for whether or not to include certain foods in your daily meal plans.
Each LUNA Protein bar equals 4 points on the Weight Watcher meal planning system.
As part of our journey towards sustainability, Clif Bar and Company (LUNA’s parent company) is committed to sourcing ingredients that are not genetically engineered. We use strict protocols including careful sourcing practices and written certification from suppliers to ensure the ingredient meets our non GMO requirements.
Although the LUNA Protein recipe does not include wheat ingredients, it is made in a facility that uses wheat in other items. The food manufacturing process is such that we cannot guarantee that trace amounts of wheat will never turn up in our products. As with any food allergy or intolerance, it is best to check with your doctor, if you have concerns about consuming certain foods or take the same precautions you do with all other pre-packaged and processed foods.
Chocolate Cherry Almond and Chocolate Peanut Butter flavors may contain gluten from the soy rice crisps which use barley malt extract. Only the Cookie Dough flavor does not contain gluten or any gluten-containing ingredients, although we have not verified that these ingredients do not contain traces of gluten. In the making of our food, we cannot guarantee that trace amounts of gluten will never turn up in our products. As with any food allergy or intolerance, it is best to check with your doctor.
LUNA Protein is made with ingredients that do not contain animal products. However, it does include whey protein from dairy in the protein blend, so it cannot be considered vegan.
Yes, LUNA Protein is certified Kosher by OU (Orthodox Union).
LUNA Protein is a balance of protein, carbohydrate, and fat with less than 200 calories, making it an ideal snack food for in between meals. It is also low-glycemic and only 1.5 starch exchanges or servings.
A diabetic meal plan should include foods that provide a balance of carbohydrate, fat, fiber and protein. People with diabetes should consume foods with carbohydrates in moderation—smaller portions spread out throughout the day—to help keep blood sugar in check.
No, all CLIF BAR flavors may contain traces of nuts.
Recovery is meant to be used immediately AFTER activity. The quantity consumed will depend on both body weight and the intensity of the activity you just completed. As a starting point, refer to the chart below. We designed Recovery so that it meets the generally accepted principle of 1.2 – 1.5 grams of carbohydrate per kg of body weight immediately following activity. With that in mind a 150 lbs. person should consume between 250 and 400 calories from carbohydrate. 1 (16oz) serving of CLIF SHOT® Recovery contains 280 calories from carbohydrate. This is a starting point for your personal post-activity nutrition. We highly recommend experimenting so that you can perfect this.
Consuming carbohydrates during activity enhances performance by providing a continuous supply of carbohydrate to working muscles. Your body stores a limited amount of carbohydrates, and the harder you go, the faster you burn those carbohydrates. When you burn through the last of these stored carbohydrates, you bonk. By consuming carbohydrate during activity you will increase your time to exhaustion (running out of carbohydrate).
CLIF SHOT® Energy Gel is a fast-acting, easy-to-digest source of carbohydrates—your body's preferred source of fuel during activity—and electrolytes.
CLIF® SHOT BLOKS® Electrolyte Chews are a semi-solid, easily chewable source of carbohydrates—your body's preferred source of fuel during activity—and electrolytes.
Our Hot drinks were created for cold weather athletes like skiers, snowboarders, ice climbers, and mountaineers. Electrolyte is best consumed DURING activity while Recovery is best consumed immediately AFTER activity. For example, Hot Electrolyte can be drunk from a thermos while in the backcountry or during a break in the ski lodge. Hot Recovery can be drunk around a winter campfire or in the car on the way home from a day on the slopes.
CLIF Nectar is not raw.
While Clif Bar Inc supports the concept of the raw food diet, we also understand some of the concerns around eating raw food. Raw seeds and nuts contain compounds known as enzyme inhibitors. Enzyme inhibitors make digestion of these foods much more difficult for us. This is one of the benefits to eating roasted nuts, since the enzyme inhibitors are destroyed during the roasting process. To destroy these compounds, raw foodists generally soak their nuts and seeds in water prior to eating.
We have chosen to use roasted nuts so that they will be more easily digested, while still getting the health benefits of these foods.
Also, many raw dried fruits and nuts naturally contain high quantities of yeast and/or mold. To enable us to provide safe food to our consumers, we have decided to use roasted nuts, which have much lower quantities of these microbial issues, and we also heat the dried fruit in our bars to a safe internal temperature.
We also pay close attention to the 2005 Dietary Guidelines for Americans food safety recommendations, which include guidance on how to avoid microbial foodborne illness:
• Cook foods to a safe temperature to kill microorganisms
• Avoid raw unpasteurized juices, and raw sprouts
CLIF Mojo is an all-natural snack bar that is a delicious blend of salty/sweet flavors traditionally found in trail mix. Made with 70% organic ingredients, Clif MOJO are available in four flavors: Mountain Mix, Honey Roasted Peanut, Mixed Nuts and Peanut Butter Pretzel.

LUNA Tea Cakes are the first nutrition bars to harness the power of tea to promote specific aspects of a woman’s wellness. Made with antioxidant-rich teas from The Republic of Tea and other USDA certified organic ingredients, each delectable bite does its part to promote balance, health and beauty, from the inside out.Key Features:LUNA Tea Cakes are USDA certified organic and are the first non-soy LUNA product. They contain no artificial flavors or sweeteners, no trans fats or hydrogenated oils, and no high fructose corn syrup. Each LUNA Tea Cake contains specific ingredients and nutrition that promote functional benefits (such as healthy skin, mood balance and longevity).
There are some ingredients in our products that contain carbohydrates that contribute not only to the count of fiber and sugar but are also composed of compounds that do not fit into either of those headings. This is what we have labeled on our wrappers as “Other Carbs.” These carbohydrates, in particular, are what enable our products to give you long lasting and sustained energy. Ingredients that fall into the “Other Carb” category are; rice flour, dried fruit, oats, oat flour and soy ingredients. The carbohydrates from these “Other Carbs” are included in the Total Carb count.
LUNA Cookie is a whole grain snack for women who want something that tastes good but that is also good for us. LUNA Cookie has the texture of a soft-baked cookie and is packed with whole grains, vitamins and minerals we need for good nutrition.
CLIF SHOT ROKS are Protein Bites in a protective shell for muscle recovery.
CLIF C is a new, double layered fruit and nut bar made with all natural and organic ingredients that bring a delicious blend of flavors and textures to every bite. The nut crust on the bottom is a blend of almonds, macadamias and dates and each bar is topped with a second layer of fruit and then sprinkled with toasted almonds.
Yes, there are 3-5 mg of caffeine in Chocolate Chip, Chocolate Brownie, Chocolate Chip Peanut Crunch, Chocolate Almond Fudge and Cookies 'n Cream. Chocolate naturally contains a trace amount of caffeine. Cool Mint Chocolate and Peanut Toffee Buzz each contain 50mg of caffeine from green tea extract.
Immediately after activity your body has a window of approximately 30 minutes for maximum absorption of carbohydrate. (During intense activity you are depleting yourself of carbohydrate). Take advantage of this window by drinking CLIF SHOT® Recovery, which has 60g of carbohydrate per 16oz serving. Along with carbs, Recovery contains 10 grams of protein per 16oz serving. Protein helps rebuild muscle, but also actually increases the amount of carbohydrate your body will up-take versus taking carbohydrate alone. Recovery also provides electrolytes, anti-oxidants, and supplemental amino acids. Electrolytes replace what you just sweated out, anti-oxidants fight the oxidative stress of activity, and specific amino acids boost your immune system and help with glycogen re-synthesis.
Electrolyte is meant to be used primarily DURING activity. The quantity consumed very much depends on the intensity and duration of activity as well as the external conditions such as wind and heat. For instance if you’re doing an easy 90 minute ride on flat roads in cool temperatures, one bottle may be plenty. But if you’re in the middle of a 5 hour ride in 85+ degree weather with lots of climbing, then we’d recommend drinking 16oz every 30 minutes. Ultimately it’s best for the athlete to experiment and find out how his/her total consumption corresponds with performance.
