After a while all the flavors of Clif Bars taste the same. Recently they have some new flavors out, ans they're pretty darn good.
I've been hooked on Lara Bars for a while. There are certain flavors of these, images below, I could survive on for days if I needed to.
What about the ingredients? Clif has a long list of stuff, and it all sounds good. Lara Bars have three, four, five ingredients in total, all based on dates, and everything else raw and unprocessed.
