Energy on the Run

 The
team at OAC will often go on a multi-day backpack trip together.
Sometimes the days are long so rather than stop for lunch we will
grab something quick. Often times the snack is in the form of
a nutrition/energy bar. Not to long ago we decided to try Balance
Bar and Balance Bar Gold from Kraft.
The consensus
was that these bars were very good. Balance bars come in a wide
variety of flavours but the favourite was Chocolate Raspberry
Fudge. In the Balance Bar Gold series, the favourite was Chocolate
Peanut Butter. The Gold series bars tend to be a little drier
than the regular Balance Bars so you'll want to make sure you
drink some water.
There are
so many bars and supplements on the market but be sure to give
these bars a second look. They are a good source of energy and
provide some of the vitamins you might be missing with a backpacker's
diet.
