REI Content with Miranda is seriously next level, nailing it! So many try but fall short, REI and Miranda totally nailing it! Not corny like most are, legit funny, educational at the same time, perfect so well done! Love these!
When I was in my 30s and doing a lot of longer distance cycling, I used the gels a lot. I still keep a couple in my pack when hiking as they take up no room and can give a quick boost of caffeine and energy. One thing I take into consideration with the bars is how much one will melt in a pack if its hot. Opening a chocolate anything and finding it is now a sticky pudding isn't fun. :) Equally, in winter hiking, if it's rock solid it's no fun either.
@@rei that was actually just 2 weeks ago! Watched this video to get some recs on alternatives lol. Thank you for the timely content! I now have several options to try out. 😁
I'm new to your channel and only watched about half a dozen videos so far and I gotta say, if you don't burp in all your vids, I'm gonna be very disappointed 🤣 I'm loving your happy ways and your enthusiasm. You're also very funny which is brilliant to watch. I'm learning a lot from you as a newbie backpacker.
I sometimes bring gels with me on mountain bike rides because I like the instant energy. I find most gels to be disgusting, but Honey Stinger are actually pretty tasty. Their waffle thingies are good, too.
There’s a version of the clif nut butter bar that is chocolate and is filled with peanut butter that is delicious. Tons of protein etc etc but mostly what i like is it tastes like a Reese’s lol.
I run more than bke, bu after trying tons of gels, gummies etc that all make me feel like shit, the maple and salt is exactly what iI do too. sometimes the all natural applesauce puches. But that came right back up last weekend too...
I enjoyed this very much, the bantering from behind the camera was great. Lol. Rambo is a must see at least once in your life kiddo!! This actually helped me out quite a bit with some things I've been going over about chews and gels.
No biggie but sometimes your tastebuds are altered by what you just ate previously. So if something you ate first was surprisingly sweet, it makes the next thing you try taste really not sweet and your tastebuds will focus on the other flavors behind it. I still love comparison tests. Someone I know was preparing to hike the AT and we spent a long while taste testing hiking snacks so she knew what to bring…but it was over 10 years ago so it is nice to see more current comparisons.
Gels.... bicyclists find them very handy and easy to get into the system without stomach upset, fit easy into jersey pockets. My favorite is Hammer Gel Huckleberry flavor. Trace electrolytes etc. and not a big sugar rush feeling. I wouldn't be likely to use them for hiking/backpacking either, unless part of a Search and Rescue team or backup/emergency energy source. But LOVE that Huckleberry gel when bicycling! :D
It's great you did the energy gels section because they're not as common as the other snacks. (and don't apologize for the burp, it wouldn't be an honest food video without one, 😁👍)
@@rei homemade recipes with a base of almond butter, agave syrup and sea salt are simple but go a long way (also adding in powdered electrolytes helps a lot)
@@rei The Honey Stinger line of gels. They don't taste gross at all, taste mostly of honey. I'd say they're they most prominently displayed in my local REI. I also like their chews as well.
As a trail runner, I use the cliff Bloks because 1) it's two servings per package, so I can have more if i feel i need it, and 2) The shape of the packaging is a lot easier for me to grab and eat the gummies one-handed while I run. I keep an emergency GU basically for when I bonk and need near-instant calories, but I don't know anyone that actually likes the texture of gels :D
LOL, burrrrp and I loved this video!! Oh and Nala too!! Anyhoo Miranda and crew, I love this bar: Power Crunch Original Peanut Butter Fudge. I usually get them from Trader Joe’s. But just noticed that I can purchase a box of 5 bars for $5.99 at Target!!
She is just fun 🤩. Thanks for helping me with the these products ..I’m like you chocolate is not my cup of tea for energy bars. Plus Nala was there and what a vlog without the burps ! Keep being you Miranda !
Considering your close proximity to the Pacific Crest Trail , I'd love to see Miranda do some trail magic, and checking out trough hiker gear! Maybe an interesting twist would be to have THEM cook you a meal, out of their pack! (While you generously compensate them with a proper cooked meal, as part of the magic ofc!)
I've been having fruit leather lately as a portable hiking snack and I absolutely love it. Oh and the chewable electrolyte things from Saltstick are great.
I would like to formally petition for every outro to be a poem from now on. I thank you for your consideration, and I am looking forward to your response.
With the girls, Gu makes one that's basically caffeinated chocolate pudding you might like. But as a runner, I eat them after 6mi when I don't want to stop but know I need sugar and caffeine to keep going. I like the Mango flavor.
As a runner, I've tried many gels. Hammer are my least favorite. Honey Stingers is my new favorite, followed by Cliff. PowerGel used to have a tangerine flavor that was incredible, but they discontinued it. They have a tropical fruit flavor which I'm willing to try.
I'm experienced with energy gels and I'm around ppl who use them alot. And I can say I've never met someone who liked the taste. The key to using them is to drink them down with water asap. Then they're not too bad.
@@rei imo there are a lot of good options for energy bars. But currently I'm enjoying using Bobo's bars -like the one in the video. They aren't too dry or heavy on the stomach which is nice.
Enjoyed both the content and production of this one very much. I can most definitely see this as a series. REI should sell the number 1’s as a bundle. Yummy.
For gels I prefer the ones that are flavored like chocolate, vanilla, caramel, etc - easier to pretend it's pudding that way. Fruity is better saved for the chews, IMO
I agree with you on the gels, yuck, but I do love the honey ones. And the Meal to Go bars are our favorite right now, especially the oatmeal choc chip and the blueberry superfruit one. You should check those out, lots of calories.
Great video! Particularly because you like the ones I like. :) Gotta say, though, you picked the worst energy gel flavors to try. GU has some awesome flavors like toasted marshmallow, birthday cake and salted caramel that are really tasty.
One of my biggest issues with some of these bars is the aftertaste. Same thing with anything that has caffeine in it, those typically have a bitter taste.
One thing these taste tests only briefly address is cost and availability. If you're just grabbing a one-off "snack" / sweet treat while checking out at REI, that's one thing, but for day or multi-day trips, the cost of that "sweet treat" adds up REAL quick and since they're more of a speciality item, finding them at a local retailer or on short notice is gonna be hard; regardless, you're gonna be paying a premium (unless you're an investment banker, surgeon, or corporate lawyer with money to burn, then you do you, I guess). A lot of these bars are just dressed up, "healthier" candy bars. Meanwhile, gimme Clif bars all day every day. They've got good quality, decent calorie density, a TON of flavors, they're CHEAP (easily 2x to 3x's cheaper bar-to-bar), and Clif bars are sold EVERYWHERE and available all the time; no online ordering, no specialty natural food / organic grocery (with their price markups) or outdoor retailer required for purchase (Sorry, REI, I love you, but I'm not driving across town just to get food supplies for a day trip). You can get 12-count boxes of Clif bar products for the same cost as 3-5 of some of these other bars.
I take a couple of the GU energy gels when I hike but I stick to chocolate, peanut butter, or the mocha flavors (or similar). The fruity flavored ones I don't care for. With a swig of water, they do pretty well at giving that little extra oomph plus if you find a flavor you like its kind of a mood thing too.
Right about the time this video dropped, Consumer Reports (Sept 2021) had a short article on snack bars. Their general guidelines were: 1) at least 3-5 g of protein; 2) check the ingredients list for "real foods" (fruit, nuts, etc.) preferably as the first listed ingredients (more real food, fewer/less processed ingredients). I was surprised to see that Clif Bars don't do very well on the "real food" measure.
It took me until the end of the brownie and cookie bar segment to realize the staff were ordering the packages by rank instead of just messing with Miranda for the reveal.
For those that do eat dairy, Think Bars have 20 ish grams of protein and 25 ish grams of carbs. I eat them to supplement protein intake on my 24 hour shifts and usually have one in my daily bag. Plus they're tasty but drink with water.
That's a great question! Here's what Miranda had to say, "It’s the North Face Pacific Shirt! An absolute fave of mine. www.rei.com/product/185827/the-north-face-pacific-shirt-womens".
As a cyclist I’m a big fan of Picky Bars. I find so many solid energy bars are really claggy and stick in your mouth and make it harder to breathe between chewing. No such problem with Picky Bars.
I looove the heather's choice packerooons!! They are really high in fat, which means they're calorie dense, and they have flavors that aren't like all the other bars you eat on trail
Me just hanging out here, somehow hoping that commenting on last week's vid like a 5 year old on a road trip will make today's appear faster... Hey, REI, it's Sunday!!!! Is it ready yet? When's it coming? Is it ready yet? Are you uploading now? How about now? 😉
Miranda almost made it through a video without farting or burping, but alas no. I like the caffeinated chocolate GUs, esp on a long run/bike ride. not so much hiking.
wow, I like Probars so much, I hope your #1 and #2 picks are good for my taste as well Still a probar person but nice to have alternatives. Gummies - the honey stinger ones are the bomb you should try them !
@@rei Oh, I will. My family's relocation to Vermont sees us relying on Miranda's tips. My husband’s already there and already lost a piece from fly-fishing pole and slipped waist-deep into water destroying a phone... so, he's living it up while the rest of us wait with anticipation for the day we say goodbye to Texas. It's been years, but I can't wait to go camping again sometime soon. Do they make stuff in xxl now... 30 years will do that to a couple.

Love all the videos! How about trying different electrolyte tabs, liquid and powders next!?
Thanks for the love and the recommendation!
Lmao the Dr Seuss thing cracked me uuppppp XD 😆
I love how mango and coconut was the flavour of both her favourite and least favourite fruit and seed bar
It shows how different every bar can be 🤪
It was mango/coconut and the last choice was coconut/mango maybe she likes more mango lol

Absolutely! Gels can definitely be a great alternative in those situations. Thanks for watching, Mike! 🙌
I learned the hard way with Snickers bars and backpacking in 90-100 degree weather.
The important thing is that you did learn from that experience. 😊 Have you found an alternative that works well for you since then? 😃
@@rei that was actually just 2 weeks ago! Watched this video to get some recs on alternatives lol. Thank you for the timely content! I now have several options to try out. 😁
Love it! We hope you find a new fave. 🙌😄
I’m a type 1 diabetic hiker and use energy gels for low blood sugars while hiking. GU has other flavors that are pretty decent!
We're happy you enjoy them! Happy trails ⛰️🥾
REI you have to hold on to Miranda like your life depends on it. She's the greatest
We love Miranda ❤️

I am a runner as well as a hiker and from the gel choices you had, I would agree that Muir is the best. It has the best texture.

This is most uncensored video than any other REi Miranda in the wild in terms of language. Haha. I dig it.
Cant say ive tried any besides the clif bars but good to know theres a ton more out there for when i get bored
We hope you have an opportunity to branch out 😀

Caramel Macchiato GU is my personal favorite for gels. The flavor even kinda works with the texture which somehow makes it less unappealing.
It's like having a coffee shop on the side of a mountain!
I like the caramel and the fudge ones.
I only eat Snickers and an M &M trail nut mix I make myself on the trail. Beats the taste of any of those bark tasting bars.
GORP holds a special place in many of our hearts: bit.ly/3Cwd4Us
So far I've found that Huma chia gels have the least offensive texture but nothing beats Jelly Belly sports beans :)
Jelly Belly sports beans are a popular choice!
Wasabi between bites. 🤪
Gotta try the 60 mg. THC gummies. A whole new trip.
One of my absolutely favorite energy bars is the pro meal bar in the banana nut bread flavor.
I randomly purchased a Tahoe bar at a grocery store in Truckee while going through the check out line... they are my favorite bars now by far.
YAY! We're happy you found something that works for you 😀
I use Clif Shot gels all the time on rides. Citrus is my least favorite. Try Strawberry or Vanilla! Way better. Thx for the video!
We appreciate the advice!
Gu Salted Caramel energy gel. Texture and flavor are perfect. 😋
Gracias por compartir
so down to earth Miranda should do personal appearances at various stores across the country I would go and meet maybe get a signed picture.
Great review Miranda. There are so many bars out their this give me a reference point. If I ate all that you did I would burp also.
Thanks for the love, Scott! We hope you find some tasty energy bars 😋
It took me until the end of the brownie and cookie bar segment to realize the staff were ordering the packages by rank instead of just messing with Miranda for the reveal.
That could have been an interesting twist! We hope you enjoyed the video, Stephen. 😀
I could slam Clif Shot raspberry flavour gels all day every day xD
For those that do eat dairy, Think Bars have 20 ish grams of protein and 25 ish grams of carbs. I eat them to supplement protein intake on my 24 hour shifts and usually have one in my daily bag. Plus they're tasty but drink with water.
Great info! Thanks for watching and sharing. 😄
