cupkayke Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 I'm going for a hike today, about 45 minutes from home. I'm making breakfast right now, but is it ok for me to bring some nuts and fruit to eat on the trail/on my way home? It's not like I can stop anywhere for lunch, and I'm sure I'll be hungry after my hike on the drive back to the city. I'm trying to keep my snack dragon down, but I also don't want to get hungry and then stop for something non-compliant. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Tom Denham Posted June 6, 2013 Moderators Share Posted June 6, 2013 That would be a very appropriate use of nuts and fruit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoJo09 Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 Probably too late for today, but I've also found it pretty easy and convenient to pack some HB eggs, vege sticks, avocado dip for hiking. This actually makes me want to get out for a hike this weekend - as long as it's not bucketing down! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sara S Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 I am also a walker/hiker and I walk every day. On long walks I will be gone for up to 4-5 hours so I need some easy snack around all the time. I have looked on line at some bars by Nakd and also Rude Health. Does anyone know if they are considered Whole 30 compliant? For example Nakd has a Chocolate Orange bar with this description. Now I look at it and it seems okay, but I'm a Newbie. Product DescriptionRaw fruit and nut bar. Free from gluten, wheat, added sugar and dairy. Ingredients Raw Dates (40%) Raw Cashews (40%) Raw Raisins (14%) Cocoa (5%) A Hint of Natural Flavour This is just an example but all of the bars I looked at are the same except maybe a different nut or flavorings. I'm just on day 9 so I don't want to mess it up. But having something like a bar that I could just throw in my backpack along with water would be great.

anzadel Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 You can always put a cooler in your car with lunch waiting for you afterwards. Still take the fruit and nuts on the trail tho! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 You can always put a cooler in your car with lunch waiting for you afterwards. Still take the fruit and nuts on the trail tho! I pack a salad inside a small cooler in my backpack. (Tuna salad, chicken salad...) And, I do still bring something like olives, nuts, or jerky.

Lemony Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Did you find out the answer to this question re naked bars? As I have these for my daughter and it would be helpful if I am out and starving to have one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlyon Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 I used to eat Nakd bars quite often, i love the ginger bread flavour. Our local store stopped doing them though. Would be a great option if found compliant. If they were would they Liar bars from Nom Nom Paleo Food For Humans be okay? Unsweetened coconut flakes, macadamia nuts & medjool dates are the ingredients Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for any help Sara S Did you find out the answer to this question re naked bars? As I have these for my daughter and it would be helpful if I am out and starving to have one This is like a Lara bar: acceptable as emergency food, okay as food you take along on a long hike in the woods, not okay to eat in your home or at the gym because that is not an emergency and there are many better choices in the home or at the gym. Take a look at the Whole30 for Athletes forum for what other folks have done for their workouts. If you are hungry in between meals, that's a completely different situation. The Whole30 recommendation is to have a mini-meal, containing a protein and fat. Nuts are a fat source on a Whole30. Save your 1-2 daily fruit servings to have with or immediately after meals only.

Lemony Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Ok that's great. I went 6 hrs without eating at the weekend because of no suitable food options. So in an emergency I could have one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand that if I'm home I should make a real meal. I think I'll try it but only use it on my longer hikes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Where do you find compliant jerky? That's what I really wanted to take on my hikes but I couldn't find any with sugar and/or preservatives. I make it and have recently found some in NM. I can post the name of the company if anyone wants to try to track them down. I have a dehydrator, but have also read that people make it in a very low oven. Recipes have been posted here before. I use some of my favorite spice, a little acid (vinegar), and a little applesauce for sweetness. I find ground meat is easier to dry and get a good texture. For me, this kind of preparation can eliminate some "emergencies" and leave the bars for real "I can't get back to my car until 12 hours after dinner" type emergencies.

tarheelpo Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 Sure. Post up the name please. We're all looking for compliant foods. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 Oh no! Our last bag is empty and gone as of the last few days. My MIL is sending some more, but I'm not sure when I will have it. I will get the info to you as soon as I have it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 The jerky I found in NM that was compliant is Bar-X brand by JD Foods. I think I'd still rather make my own so that I really know the quality of the ingredients, but this was nice for the unexpected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
