The main was...kinda bad. It smelled perfectly fine when I opened it up, but actually tasting it, the flavor was just...blegh. I don't really like spinach though, so that's probably why. It just tasted awful. I couldn't eat more than a couple bites. The sides were also hit or miss. The pretzel nuggets were gross, as I don't really like onion or honey mustard, and the First Strike bar was just kinda okay-ish. It didn't have a whole lot of flavor to it. The crackers and peanut butter were the usual, they were pretty good.
The chocolate protein drink mix was really interesting though. It smelled and tasted *EXACTLY* like a chocolate First Strike bar. Like seriously, it was the exact same flavor. Strangely though, it never mixed in properly. I added 8 ounces of water like it said, and shook it up in the bag for a little over a minute, but there was still lots of unmixed powder when I poured it out. Even stirring it up with a spoon, it would not fully mix in, and lots of semi-mixed powder floated up to the surface. Still, it tasted fine, having that fudge-like taste of the First Strike bar.
So yeah...kind of a "meh" ration for me, but if you like spinach and/or Onion+Honey Mustard pretzels, go right ahead.
