Packaroon Road Trip to the North Slope
I'm just back from a 8 day road trip from Anchorage up the "haul road" to the north slope of Alaska that travels between the Gates of Arctic NP and the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. We purchased a dozen Packaroons to have as a convenient snack during the drive and hiking. They are always a convenient snack for travel and I'd recommend for anyone wanting something light, filling and an alternative to other "roadfood".
Tasty little snack!
I had a blueberry almond Packaroon. This product is vegan and gluten free and made with a lot of organic ingredients. It was very coconut-y. Texture was good - held together well, but had the perfect amount of chewiness from the coconut. Flavor was great, but I really enjoy coconut, so if that's not your thing, you may want to try other flavors. the packaging was also very visually pleasing. This would be great to throw in a pack for a hike or an anytime snack. I am looking forward to trying some of the other flavor options available!
A couple in your pocket or pack = all-day energy!
Packed with natural and organic ingredients like Shredded Coconut, Coconut Butter, Blueberries, and more, the Heather’s Choice Blueberry Almond Packaroon is a staple snack in my fanny pack / day pack when playing in the mountains of Alaska. Each ‘Roon contains 8g of saturated fat, 12g of carbohydrates, 8g of sugars, and 2g of protein. Pop one in your mouth for a slightly sweet treat and the calories you need to keep exploring outdoors. (Note: I received free product in exchange for an honest review.)
Perfectly sweet snack
This small but sweet snack was surprisingly good and was such a nice treat mid hike. I love coconut and this was delicious. It fit perfectly in hip belt pocket.
The best trail snack
I love all Heather's Choice foods, but packaroons are always a must for any adventure.
170 cals for 1oz. Perfect for backpacking
Took this little bad boy on a hike and it was gone before I knew it. I love high calorie treats for backpacking trips, and this little macaroon is 170 calories for 1oz. The initial bite is a bit off putting, it’s like if you bit into a lavender lemon candle! It’s strong, but as you eat it, the flavor settles a bit and it’s more enjoyable. It honestly didn’t last long, as was gone before I knew it. I’d buy this again, IF it’s in sale. For $2.50 it’s such a small portion honestly. I like it, but I don’t think I’d ever pay full price for it. So… REI, please have some more snack sales! 4/5 star, because negative one for the initial off putting taste and the high price tag for a tiny little bite of snack.
A lot of Coconut in a Small Package
I love coconut and this is a pure coconut bite. It is a very compact cake of shredded coconut held together well with just a few ingredients. I took it out on a trail-building day in 100 degrees/high humidity and it did not change the consistency of the product at all. That said, the packaroon is a little dry. More suited to nibbling over a period of time. I graded it down because it requires that the ingredients be shipped to Alaska, baked and packaged and then shipped to the lower 48. That's a lot of travel for one coconut cake bite. I would be more inclined to purchase if it was produced locally.
Good
Only came across this because I read an article about recommended trail snacks. It’s dry but I actually liked it!
Tasted good (cherry almond), but lacked texture
Presentation - Nice packaging that is easily stored in a hip belt pocket for easy access. Not overly macaroon-esq in shape or texture. Resembles more of a compressed biscuit. Taste - Strong coconut flavor gives way to extract of almond with only slight hint of cherry. Didn't get any maple syrup and the packaroon wasn't all that sweet. Overall a pleasant flavor. Texture - Fairly dry, but not to the point of crumbling. No real texture given by the shredded coconut which was slightly disappointing. I'd eat it again if someone offered me one, but probably won't be searching for these in an REI store for future trips.
Great Snack on the Go
I was not sure what to expect when I first tried out the Blueberry Almond Packaroon. While they do not have the greatest texture, the flavor is outstanding and they are a great pick me up boost when on the trail or being active. I have used them during several hikes and also during a trip to the beach. The Blueberry Almond packaroon is my favorite as it has a great taste and a boost of energy. The great park about the packaroons is they are super lightweight and pack a huge boost in a small package. If space is limited or you just want to stay light weight, I highly recommend the Packaroons for your next adventure!
