Outdoor Friendly Foods

Boulder is home to a population of climbers, skiers, hikers, rafters and all manner of adventure hungry thrill seekers. Whether setting out for a week long backpacking trip or a quick afternoon hike, the right kind of food and beverage is key.

The active food category has always been a little sleepy, as we’ve seen a lot of the same brands dominate freeze dried foods and energy bars. But as consumers are becoming increasingly likely to spend more on sustenance that is convenient, new and eye grabbing options are popping up to intrigue the appetites of outdoor enthusiasts.

This company features a diverse selection of organic freeze dried dinner entrees, breakfast options and snacks.

Trail Nuggets

These bars communicate functionality as an active snack, with natural energy and protein – despite having similar ingredients to other bars in the category.
