Review of 'Clif Bar' Pecan Pie

Clif Bar -- Pecan Pie (vegan)
Overall Rating: 4/5
Summary: this was somewhat 'pecan pie' flavour, but really could have used more sugary pecan bits (which were great!). It is overall very tasty; very sweet and filling, just like most of the Clif Bars I've bought. Would be better if the soy-based ingredients were all organic, but fully appreciate that 70% of the ingredients are organic. Unfortunately, this is a seasonal flavour and really difficult to find outside of the Christmas season. Happy hunting!

Where to buy: Bulk Barn, Fortinos, Shopper's Drug Mart



Ingredients: Organic Brown Rice Syrup, ClifPro® (Soy Rice Crisps [Soy Protein Isolate, Rice Flour, Barley Malt Extract], Organic Roasted Soybeans, Organic Soy Flour), Organic Rolled Oats, Organic Pecans, Pecan Pralines (Organic Dried Cane Syrup, Pecan Pieces, Salt), Organic White Coating (Organic Dried Cane Syrup, Organic Cocoa Butter‡, Organic Soy Lecithin, Organic Vanilla Extract), Organic Cane Syrup, ClifCrunch® (Organic Oat Fiber, Inulin, Organic Psyllium), Organic Date Paste, Organic Sunflower Oil, Natural Flavors, Sea Salt, Organic Cinnamon, Natural Vitamin E (Antioxidant).
