<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> Hi, I want to thank everyone that sent me an email! Here were the suggested replacement for the Health Valley Bars. I have not checked into any of the products that will be mentioned to know if they are GF. Before you try any of them, you will want to make sure for yourself. Just had jennie's macaroons this weekend. They are GF and lactose free. They are individually wrapped and not too expensive (I think .59/per). Chocolate and regular flavor. They were delicious, chewy and very satisfying. Hope you like coconut. I found them at wegman's grocery store. not sure where else they are carried. I take Glutano pretzels, mini popcorn cakes, Crunch N Munch, Edward & Sons crackers for emergency fill ins. I eat Pamela's biscotti, when I want a cookie. The lemon-almond (or some nut) is really good. I usually carry around sesame snaps for the same purposes. The advantage is they are cheap! I also have some Glutafin Digestive cookies which are packaged in groups of 3 and handy to carry around. Fruit leather is also a great thing. (email from Canada) Have you thought of getting something from Gluten-Free Pantry or Ms. Robins. They carry a line of products that will go into your purse. They have some good cookies that are imported from England. Check on the net for Gluten Solutions, Gluten Free Mall. I take Planter's Original Peanut Bar with me when I go places. About the same size as HV Bars, and very filling. Some sugar, but mostly nuts. Boost bars I carry the Essentials Energy bar. I especially like the Chocolate raspberry Truffle and Powerbar has a fast fuel gel that I can carry in my pocket or leave in the car. Snickers Bars are good also. Buy some GF rice krispie type cereal and some marshmallows. the recipe is often on the marshmallow package. Make the Rice Krispie type bars with dried fruit, nuts, chocolate chips or anything else added. I put them in Zip-lock bags. I live in Australia, so I'm not familiar with the actual bars that you are referring to, but something that I enjoy eating and are handy to carry with me are coconut and nut bars. There are quite a few varieties here, such as coconut and macadamia nut and coconut and almond. They are made by a company called "Go Natural" but I don't think this brand would be available in the US. But I expect that there would be some kind of similar bars available. I buy these bars in the supermarket, but health food shops would also have some other types I expect. They are good to carry around, and don't break easily, plus they fill you up - and they taste nice! (cause they're just a normal health bar rather than "special" gluten free food!)If you haven't tried EnerG brand's granola bars, they are wonderful. You could always make your own granola bars. I know that Bette Hagman has recipes for them, I think in her first book. They travel well in the purse (they are really hard). They are pretty sweet. Just brought rice crispy squares with us to Canada for 10 days. They held up quite well, in suitcase, car, plane, airport, and pocket. You could make them more nutritious, with peanut butter, or raisins, or nuts. Much cheaper too! Gary Null makes a 'Fruit and Fiber Bar' that is rather good, It is gf. I use it for a snack while traveling. I believe that any Health Food Store can help you find it. I buy them, by the box, from The Vitamine Shop - this is a mail order establishment based in NYC....Call 800 information forthe NYC number and request a catalogue. Guess I will make my own rice crispy bars for this trip, since I leave on Friday. In the future I will try some of the other suggested ideas. Would like to have something on the shelf that I can have on hand for immediate use. Jane ND
