CLIFF Bar, leading maker of all-natural and organic energy and nutrition foods and drinks introduces a great new protein bar – called Builders.

CLIFF Builder’s gives you 20 grams of soy and nut proteins in a delicious, dipped double-decker bar.

CLIFF Builders comes in 6 different flavors; Vanilla Almond, Chocolate, Chocolate Mint, Peanut Butter, Lemon and Cookies n Cream. Checkout their site (a very nice web design) as well as chock full of nutritional information. I particularly like their “Make Protein Work Harder For You!” web page – offering two free downloads:

  1. Protein Booklet and
  2. Protein Tracker

Both resources are designed to help you understand the importance of protein to your health and fitness.

The CLIFF Builder’s Protein Booklet will build your knowledge about protein. The Protein Tracker lists the amount of protein in common foods and includes a chart that helps you monitor your protein consumption for an entire week.
