Cereal bars

I've looked at cereal bars as something considered healthy yet less challenging to try that a full meal. I tried and got used to Kellog's Nutri-gran, although never really enjoyed it but can eat the apple and raspberry one's no problem, I tried the blueberry but it felt too much like chewing gum flavour. Although not based on any scientific data they don't seem that healthy, but I'm not sure but it is obviously a lot more healthy than a chocolate bar.


Although it was good to be able to eat a Nutri-gran bar I wanted to eat a "proper" cereal bar. For a long time I have felt a big wish to go for a decent long trail hike, i.e. several days and nights in nothing more than a tent or basic hut not a b&b or hotel/hostel. My wish is to not take any chocolate or pringles and to eat soups, cereal bars and things that traditionally is made and carried by hikers. Although I don't have any friends yet to do it with, I'm hoping to have some by the time I reach the eating goal side of it. I fondly remember hiking as a kid and the excitement of being in the wild for 4 or 5 days was great and I miss that, just want to have independence from my food.

What an excellent challenge! I reckon I'd be well up for that, if you want company. Couldn't eat a Nutri-Grain though. Have you tried Jordan's Original Crunchy Bars? I think they're healthier than the Kelloggs version.

Thanks, hopefully it can be accomplished sooner rather than later.

I've tried Jordan's Breakfast bar, the Cranberry one isn't bad. I've also tried one of the Go bar flat one's which was really tasty and not bad at all.
