What's the best food to take for energy & performance for hikes - Going to Australia and hiking.
Is it Gatorade, or would you recommend something else? I'm taking Green's Chocolate Energy Bars, Emergen C, Trail Mix, and Organic Nutrition Bars. Any other suggestions? I'd lik esomething beside Gatorade Powder to mix in with my water.

No need for fancy brand foods if you're just hiking. Apple juice is great for sugar-based energy getting into your system quickly. I prefer Gatorade, since I get stomach problems from too much sugar.
For food-based energy, you need to get a mix of sugars, starch carbs, protein, and fat. Best combination: bacon-wrapped brownies. Once you've had one, you'll never go back to wimpy granola bars or chalky "energy" bars.
For boosting energy, endurance, mental mood, try chocolate covered coffee beans. Or mix up your own version of a Starbuck's frappucino. Something like 1cup coffee, 1 cup milk., 1/4 cup sugar, chocolate syrup. You can get recipies on-line. If you have an insulated bottle, blend with ice to last so it will last a few hours.
