Rowan and I use granola bars. Our grocery store has a large selection ... shelves full of various kinds ... and there are certain ones we really like.

They are a whole lot more tasty and less expensive than energy bars.


We have also used oatmeal raisin or oatmeal chocolate chip cookies. I made some a few times, but otherwise they can be purchased in the bakery section of the grocery store.


Salted almonds and dried apricots are great because you'll get all your electrolytes in with calories.


Some people swear by fig newtons.
