Core Meal Walnut Banana - 10 Pack

Delicious! I love to have these as an on-the-go option. They taste wonderful and are wholesome, although not inexpensive!

As a nutrition consultant, I have high standards for the food I eat, and this food impresses me in every way.First of all, it tastes absolutely delicious every time I take a bite.Impressively, it only contains 6 ingredients, none of which include anything partial (like sugars, syrups, flour, oil, flavors, or even so-called natural preservatives like citric acid). Each ingredient is used in its complete form, meaning your body recognizes it without any trouble.Speaking of your body's comfort, every ingredient is certified organic, gluten-free, raw and soaked. Soaking nuts, seeds, and grains hydrates those plant foods, restoring their character to how they would be if you ate them freshly picked; they let down barriers such as enzyme inhibitors that are there to keep you from being able to fully break down all the cell walls and assimilate the huge amount of nutrients stored in the food. Simply put, soaking = better digestibility.And the reason I'm rating the Walnut Banana flavor is that of all the flavors of CORE's Warrior & Defender Meals, this one keeps me full the longest. I recall the first time I ate one, I was full upon eating it, and felt satisfied for 6 hours before my body even asked for a snack. I had stable energy the whole time, and all I needed was my water bottle by my side (because oats are always thirsty).Remember that this is a full meal, when you consider the price, calorie content, fat, carbs, etc. The carbs are ALL complex, so they release slowly in your body without any spike/crash. The calorie content is HALF that of the average American meal, and yet it fills you up just as long because only whole ingredients are used. They cost less than it would cost you to go to Whole Foods and buy all the ingredients from the bulk bins to make it yourself. And the fat is only what is contained in about 7 walnuts.Best of all, one of these should fill you up for at least 3 hours.Take them hiking, on your road trip, or use them around the holidays while you're constantly preparing all those family meals. Be sure to read the instructions on how long they last at room temperature, in the fridge, or frozen. These are perishable because they are fresh and raw, not dehydrated; and as CORE Foods says so well -- Real Food Goes BadI highly recommend you try a pack. You will definitely notice the difference it makes in your health, and the convenience it provides in your daily life.
