Recently, two categories of Clif Mojo bars got a new look and added flavors: Fruit & Nut and Dark Chocolate. This brand of trail mix inspired snacks has had many twists and turns over the years (disappearing from shelves, reappearing, changing varieties and packaging), but I’m hoping that it’s finally here to stay.
Tasting Notes for Clif Mojo Trail Mix Bars
At last check, all Clif Mojo Trail Mix Bars were dairy-free and gluten-free by ingredients. The bars with the new look have more of a granola bar image in terms of shape and taste, but don’t contain oats. Each of these Clif Mojo bars has a chunky almond base with rice crisps, inulin, and a touch of roasted organic soybeans added. From there, the ingredients vary by flavor:
Dark Chocolate Cherry Almond
Coated with chocolate on the bottom and dotted with big chocolate chunks on top! This was the flavor that of course, my household reached for first. The organic cherries and dark chocolate offered a pleasant combination on a granola bar-like background.
Dark Chocolate Almond Sea Salt
I’m not sure if it was batch related, but this Clif Mojo Dark Chocolate bar had a real crunch. It wasn’t as tender as the others. The sea salt flavor I had hoped for was lacking. The almonds tended to overwhelm a bit for my tastes. This flavor was good, and I loved that organic pecans and cashews were added for a real nutty vibe. Yet it was surprisingly not my favorite of the Clif Mojo bunch.
Wild Blueberry Almond
Heading into the Fruit & Nut territory, I really liked the generous dotting of “currant raisins” and wild blueberries in this crunchy, chewy, and relatively authentic granola bar. The big chunks of almonds overwhelmed a touch, but were good overall.
Cranberry Almond
I found this to be very similar to the Wild Blueberry Almond, but with pleasant all-natural cranberries (cane sugar sweetened plus no sulphites or other additives).
Coconut Almond Peanut (contains honey: non-vegan)
Made with the addition of organic peanuts and coconut, this Clif Mojo bar has a good, unique flavor blend that is mellow when compared to the two other Clif Mojo Fruit & Nut flavors. It lacks dried berries, and thus sharp sweetness. The gentler flavor of this bar was nice for active hikes since taste buds tend to be heightened during exercise.
The Facts on Clif Mojo Trail Mix Bars
Certifications: Clif Mojo Trail Mix Bars are labeled as gluten-free and they do contain quite a few organic ingredients (not 100%), but I didn’t spot any certifications.
Dietary Notes: By ingredients, Clif Mojo Trail Mix Bars are dairy-free / non-dairy, egg-free, gluten-free, and vegetarian. Most of the flavors are vegan, just a few of the Clif Mojo bars have a little honey added. Nonetheless, check with the company on their manufacturing processes for all varieties if potential allergen cross-contamination is an issue for you. Processes and labeling are subject to change at any time for any company / product.

These look yummy! But after looking at them online I realized they have soy in them 🙁 I’m a nursing mama of a 3 month old who can’t eat dairy or soy. Maybe in future posts you can mention if they are both dairy and soy free? I know I’m not the only one out there struggling with this. Thanks for all you do, I’m really enjoying your site.
Hi Kim, every review I do has dietary notes! See the notes at the bottom of the review. If it was soy-free, I would put soy-free in those notes. The notes cover the top allergens, gluten, vegan, vegetarian and paleo. Everything we post is made without dairy. But yes, unfortunately Clif uses soy in almost all of their products. For your help, I also use a tag for all of our soy-free posts – http://www.godairyfree.org/tag/soy-free-dairy-free
Pingback: Clif Organic Trail Mix Bars (Full Review)
Clif Mojo is ripping people off. They put their bars in a 1.41 oz package but don’t fill the package with the bar. There is about 1 inch of empty space. Shame on the owners of this company for taking advantage of people.
Have you reached out to the company to complain about this Jose? That would probably be the best avenue.
These are pretty good.
delicious
These are sweet and crunchy!
