Cool New Outdoor Gear - GEARBLAZER

Created in the Willamette Valley of Oregon, Skout Trailbars are a relatively new entrant in the crowded energy bar market. Skout graciously send us a sampler pack of their trailbars to taste and test out in our own adventures. We had the opportunity to try all five of their current flavors – Chocolate Peanut Butter, Chocolate Coconut, Cherry + Vanilla,  Apple + Cinnamon, and Blueberry + Almond.

The best word we could describe the trailbars would be “cakey”. The bars were moist yet had a soft crumbly texture to each bite. We found the taste to be sweet but not overly sweet. As with most energy bars, a bottle of water to wash it down is necessary. Our favorite flavor of the bunch was Chocolate Coconut. It offered a strong chocolate flavor that was perfect during a long hike while the coconut added just enough to make it seem special.

Each bar offers all natural and organic ingredients. They are dairy and soy free as well as kosher and vegan. As an added bonus, each bar contains one full serving of fruit. We love the fact that the we understand all the ingredients that are in each bar. For example, the ingredients for the Cherry + Vanilla Trailbar is simply Organic Dates, Whole Grain Organic Oats, Organic Dried Cherries, Organic Almonds, Organic Expeller Pressed Sunflower Oil, Organic Vanilla Flavor, Organic Apple Juice Concentrate, and Sea Salt.
