Clif's Organic Margherita Paste is an Unexpected Energy Food
Laura McQuarrie — April 7, 2015 — Lifestyle
Sugary sweet flavors like chocolate or citrus are the ones traditionally associated with energy shots, but Clif's new Pizza Margherita Energy Food introduces a savory twist to this tradition.
Made with real food ingredients like tomato and carrot puree, quinoa, sunflower seed butter, cane syrup, olive oil and classic Italian seasonings, this paste is organic, gluten-free and kosher. This paste is packaged in a squeezable tube, making it possible for outdoor enthusiasts and athletes to easily fuel up with something that tastes like a hearty meal. In addition to a burst of sustainable energy, the pizza-inspired paste also delivers fiber, protein, iron and Vitamins A, C and E.
Some of the other new and exotic energy paste flavors in Clif's Organic Energy Food line include Sweet Potato with Sea Salt, Banana Beet with Ginger and Banana Mango with Coconut—although they're not quite as much fun as pizza.
