The Ultimate Guide to Snacking on Your Hike with CLIF

Time to Say Goodbye to Soggy Bananas!

On my latest escapade in the Brecon Beacons, I found myself hastily packing my day pack with the essentials for the journey ahead; amongst the gear and provisions, I threw in a trustee banana and a CLIF bar.

Midway into my hike, when my legs were burning from trudging through the thick snow up what felt like my own personal Everest. It was then that I knew it was time to venture into my bag for a much-needed pick-me up! But as I rummaged around, I found my hand coated in the remnants of a squashed banana!

Unlike its yellow counterpart, prone to squishiness and rapid decay, my CLIF Bar stood tall and proud, boasting a shelf-stable design that laughs in the face of spoilage. It got me thinking about the eternal battle between snacks and stamina, and I have to say, CLIF emerges as the hero, armed with plant-based goodness and a commitment to sustainable snacking. Move over mushy bananas, because CLIF is here to revolutionize the way you fuel your adventures.
