Greenbelly Backpacking Meals | All Natural Hiking Meal Bars | 650 Calories & High Protein | Variety, 5 Count

Great lunch option on the trail. Tasty and filling!

I did a 40 mile trek through the desert in Big Bend national park. There were a significant amount of elevation changes all throughout the hike, the sun was brutal, and the water was scarce. needless to say, pack weight was at a premium due to the high amount of water we had to carry at any given time. Due to all of that i wanted to get the most powerful and lightweight foods I could find for the trip. Greenbelly meals pack very nicely, and I used each bag to collect and hold my trash from the day as they are resealable. I ate peanut butter/apricot and banana/dark chocolate (2 of each). They didn't taste amazing, but let's face it when you need the most nutritious superfoods packed into a small item you can't expect something out of a restaurant. That being said, they did not taste bad, not at all. I enjoyed eating them. They are dry so definitely expect to gulp some water with them, and they are a bit tough to finish (because they give you so much food, which is a good thing) My lunches consisted of one greenbelly and one probar. After lunch I would be able to power through the next several miles with only intermittent pauses for water. Whether it be sharp or gradual uphill climbs I was glad I had brought greenbelly meals. Over the 40 miles, averaging about 13 miles per day. We climbed over 10,000 ft and descended nearly that much. These are a must have for any hiker who is looking for the absolute best meal for the size and weight, something to help you power through when you are past the point of exhaustion. However, if this was a less intense trip I might have packed say a freeze dried cookable meal for lunch. If you are looking for what I mentioned above definitely purchase this item. If you are going on a casual trip you will definitely get a powerful lunch with this, but depending on your preferences and needs, you may not have to purchase an item quite this minimalist. all in all, I will 100 percent be purchasing again.

Me and my friend took a 4 day backpacking trip in a canyon in Utah. These meals are what kept us going. Excellent replacement for lunch. I carried mine in a pant pocket throughout the day and snacked on it, which was more than enough to keep me satisfied. The flavors are all good, you really can't go wrong. If there is anything I would change, it would be to take them out of the packaging and put them into a smaller, less rigid bag so that it doesn't take up as much space in your pack. Still, Absolutely a must have snack in every way.

The order was shipped promptly and the contents are as described in the listing. I have not used the Meal2Go bars yet. They were purchased for a backpacking trip later this month. I'll let you know what I think when I get back. 9/9/21: Just back from 8-day hike in Yosemite. I really enjoyed the Meal2Go bars. They definitely have the calorie and nutritional profile to keep you going. They are all tasty and filling, but my favorite bar is the mango/cashew/coconut. They only bar I didn't care for is the spiced caramel apple. Why put cayenne pepper in a fruit-flavored meal bar? I appreciate being able to buy the variety pack through Amazon, as it saves the shipping cost on what would be my typical order.

When on the trail I like to be up before dawn and moving. Its cold. Maybe snowing. Maybe raining, and probably just light enough to see. Don't really care to get out the stove and boil water. Green Belly is my breakfast. Has been my go-to for several years. One package has 2 bars. Each bar has between 320 and 340 calories (depending on flavor). I typically eat about 400 to 500 calories in a meal, even on trail. One bar, some fruit or jerky and I'm on my way. Taste is decent enough for trail food. Not something I crave as a snack but its very palatable, easy to eat, easy on the stomach. Ingredients are decent enough. While not health food most flavors come close to a 30/30/30 balance. High in protein, high in fiber. You won't feel bloated and you won't bonk three hours later. Worth the price and worth having as part of your trail food kit.

They really are so delicious and filling. I've used them as a meal replacement often. Drinking water with it does the trick to keep you full until your next meal. Lightweight. I took these on a month long hike in Utah where it's hot in the summer. These held up excellently. no melting. They are soft enough to fit in the crevices of a pack without getting destroyed. The resealable packaging is a huge plus because these bars are big, 2 per package and I often only need one. I just ordered 15 more. Handy for long days

On 9 item variety order, expected 3 of each flavor, but of course that would be too easy to give the customer what they wanted! Good luck building a customer base.

These are really great for go bags and other emergency planning. It’s not hard to convince yourself to cycle through the inventory to keep things fresh. These are great snacks, and my kids love them.
