Onebar Energy Bar Review
December 2, 2016
While the Onebar may have been born out of a desire to feed children something delicious adults benefiting from having a delicious energy bar on the market can’t be a bad thing. Each bar is one serving of fruit and is made from high quality vegan and gluten free ingredients.

Fuel 100 Electro-Bites Review
June 26, 2016
Fuel 100 Electro-Bites are a calorie and electrolyte replacement on the go snack for distance athletes. Their primary selling points are their salty taste (compared to all the sweet snacks currently on the market) and their ability to dissolve in your mouth after a quick crunch and swish of water. No more sludge like energy […]

Moon Cheese Review
October 30, 2015
Moon Cheese. That unique delicacy that drove men wild and spurred the space race to new heights. That was until we realized the moon was made of rocks not cheese so we dropped the moon like it was hot never to return. In place of real Moon Cheese we have this stuff. According to the […]
Bear Valley Pemmican Bar Review
May 18, 2015
Next up on the list of energy bars to test is the Bear Valley Pemmican Bar – specifically the Fruit ‘N Nut blend.

Pure Bar Fruit & Nut Energy Bar Review
May 7, 2015
Another day another bar. Today I’m testing out the Pure Bar Fruit & Nut energy bars. They are certified organic, gluten-free, non-GMO, and vegan – pretty much the opposite of a Power Bar. Thankfully the taste was the opposite of a Powerbar as well! Sorry Powerbar, I don’t mean to pick on you. I tried out […]
Pro Bar Meal Energy Bar Review
April 22, 2015
Lately I’ve been on a quest to find the best bars around. Ok, maybe the term “quest” is a bit of an exaggeration but I’ve been getting bored of the generic energy bars I’ve been eating on every trip I’ve ever taken since I was 14 years old. My most recent culinary experience was with the […]
Epic Energy Bar Review
April 7, 2015
Epic Energy Bars intrigued me. If you haven’t heard of them they are essentially a “premium meat snack” that is packaged like an energy bar. They come in three flavors: lamb currant mint, turkey almond cranberry, and bison bacon cranberry. After seeing them on the shelves of REI for a while I decided to take the […]
Harmony Valley Camp Cuisine Powdered Hummus Mix Review
September 30, 2014
One of my favorite day hike snacks is the little single serving package of hummus and pretzels. I can’t think of a better snack to get me back in the game when I’m dragging. Unfortunately hummus doesn’t keep very well on the trail – not only does it go bad but due to the high […]
