Review of 'Clif Mojo' Sweet & Salty Trail Mix Bar (Mountain Mix)

Clif Mojo -- Sweet & Salty Trail Mix Bar (Mountain Mix) (vegan)
Overall Rating: 3.5
Summary: This is a good bar. It's true to it's branding: sweet and salty, but in this case, I think sweet would have worked better with these ingredients. I really liked the complex texture with seeds, rice crisps, and chewy raisins. Also a good treat were the chocolate chips! I'd buy this bar again and recommend it especially for it's wholesome ingredients and great source of protein.
