First impressions of the GreenPackin’ Nutrition/Trail Bars are very promising! 1) Pressed-On Bars (Dates, Cherries, Walnuts, Agave Nectar): “Don’t change a thing”. “How much are they? I want to buy some now”. 2) Generic Bars (Dates, Mangos, Walnuts, Agave Nectar): “Tastes great”. “I’ve never had a Mango bar before and I love it!” 3) Gier Bar (Dates, Blueberries, Walnuts, Agave Nectar): “Tastes pretty good”.
Still want to work on a Macaroon Bar and a Cinnamon Apple Pie Bar. If it goes well with the people I’m using as taste-testers, I’ll try to introduce them (via samples) at a couple of local outdoors stores.
