helwenTried a couple of on-the-go snacks by a company called Enjoy Life. They have three types of something called Chewy on-the-go Bars. We've tried two of them, and three of us like them so far: L, me, and my MIL. The texture/consistency reminds me a bit of Fig Newtons. One little bar is 120 - 140 calories.
We tried the Cocoa Loco (1 g of fiber) and the Sunbutter Crunch (3g of fiber).
NO: Wheat, dairy, peanuts, tree nuts, egg, soy, fish, shellfish. These two are also made without casein, potato, sesame or sulfites. We'll have to try the third one out the next time we are near the Big Y in Hadley.
Enjoy Life's business is making gluten-free foods that are free of the 8 most common allergens.
It is not cheap, but if you need some safe travel food, then here's an option. Nutritionally, I figure it is also a step-up from eating Fritos.
Some of these will definitely be making it into my bugout kit!
***
On another note -- are there any non-wheat beers or ales that are decent? I'm not known for my expertise or vast experience with alcohol, so I'm curious about this. The BBC ales don't seem to bother me too much, but someone's homemade stuff set off my asthma last spring, so I'm a bit more cautious now. Thanks for any info on this.
