I was given a sample pack of this full replacement sports meal to try.
What a wonderful product at 85 grams a meal. But, the taste is less than desirable. Reminded me of Farax baby food (if you know that NZ taste you are too old to hike :-)
My friend John Abela has written a great post on this product. I agree with his prognosis, my negative is the taste.

Greenbelly Hiking Bars
A few months ago I was alerted to a guy called Chris Cage, an American with a tremendous amount of global hiking and biking experience (yup he has been to NZ). He wanted to develop an all-round lightweight food bar for his adventures (and ours!).
He needed to raise capital and through kickstarter.com he posted his appeal. I loved his entrepreneurial spirit and threw some bucks into the kitty.
He has now launched Greenbelly. I have tasted the new product (see pics below) and they are bloody fantastic! Comes in three flavours. I love the re-seal-able packaging. This and the design was developed via surveys on his kickstarted site.
Greenbelly is organic, gluten free and 1/3 daily food balance.
I am a great fan of Em Bars (Emily Miazga), but these new bars from Chris well and truly match.
They are not available in NZ yet (watch this space!) and I guess if you like Em Bars and do get to taste Greenbelly, nationality may prevail (the later being American and given current exchange rate may be more expensive).
You can order online and Chris will send to you. Check out his website at http://www.greenbelly.co/

New Meal Bars from Greenbelly
I discovered these new Greenbelly Meal Bars via John Abela's blog. I currently swear by Em Bars but Chris the founder of this company is on Kickstart raising funds to gear up production. I love his entrepreneurial spirit so I've Kicked in a few buck and get a sample tasting and help him on his way.
