I went hiking the other day and I am not fond of a huge or big breakfast before I hike, but I do like small power meals while on the go. I picked up some Millennium Bars a while back and found this was a great time to try one out.
First impression when I opened it was,, well another saw dust bar, also reminded me of the oatmeal bar from the MRE packages. Well I was wrong, this is pretty damned tasty!! It is slightly moist and has a very good lemony flavor to it. It didn't require a lot of moisture to chew and the lemon flavor generated enough saliva to help with that. It has a slight oatmeal bar texture to it, but being that it isnt dry i enjoyed it. If you look on the label it shows that it has 400kcals of energy, thats a decent amount for a small bar like this, and if you look at the size of the package you could put a lot of them in your day bag, BOB or hiking pack. figure 3 a day that is 1200kcals, that is just enough to keep you going but it falls into the starvation diet category, but in an emergency situation calories are calories and that's what keeps you going. These bars also come in a variety of flavors so you wont get bored or in case your picky you can find a few flavors you will like.
I give these guys 5 stars!!
You can find them at Cheaper than Dirt, Sparks Fire Arms (in Converse)and also Amazon. I do recommend you try them and add a few to your kit and stores. They have a 5 year life btw! so if you are into caching supplies you can even add them to you cache program!
