[pct-l] Energy Bars

[jjolson at uwyo.edu (Jeffrey J. Olson)]

I too like energy bars, and not cooking.  I found some great bars made 
by a small company in Albany California.  They are Bear Valley Food Bars 
at http://www.mealpack.com/

They are about 4 ounces and 440 calories.  I saw them in a whole foods 
store in Salt Lake for $3.50.  If you buy 50 of them, they are just less 
than a buck apiece.  Ingredients, in order of dominance, are malted corn 
and barley, nonfat milk, honey, wheat germ, raisins, soy flour, walnuts, 
soy oil, wheat bran, pecans, and grape juice.  There are four flavors.  
This one is the fruit & nut one. 

I ate five of them a day on a week trip last summer, with some finger 
food for dinner and pb&j and bread for the heavy lunch.  I was always 
full - never a pang of hunger, as long as I remembered to eat every 
couple hours.
