Greenbelly Meals Meal2Go

Greenbelly Meal2Go bars are excellent, balanced, calorie-dense meal bars that are perfect for backpacking and hiking. They taste good, are satisfying, and are easy to pack.

I always look for the best, lightest, and smallest meal options for multi-day backpacking trips. The common dehydrated meals are fine, but not always my favorite. For the last few years i've been enjoying Greenbelly Meal2Go bars because they are relatively healthy, taste good, not too heavy, and don't take up much room in my food bag. 

You can find all the nutrition info on Greenbelly's website. But basically, each packet contains two meal bars that are stuck together. Both bars are around 700 calories total and have a decent balance of carbs, protein, and fat. The ingredients—thankfully!—do not include a bunch of processed foods or preservatives. That means they do have a shelf life of around one year, but I'm totally fine with that. 

Each meal pack is around $8.00, though you can get them a bit cheaper if you buy in bulk. I don't hesitate to spend that much on these because I really do like them, they hit the spot on trail, and they are relatively healthy. My wife and I have eaten and enjoyed these on the High Sierra Trail, the Maroon Bells (alternate) loop, the Ice Age Trail, the Superior Hiking trail, and more. I'm not even close to sick of them.

Highly recommended!
