You won't find flavor like this in any other freeze-dried meal... excellent ingredients and excellent taste! Good to the last drop!
This is the best freeze-dried breakfast ever! I've been backpacking for 50 years and have tried all the other brands. This beats them all by a Mile... So good you'll even drink the leftover juice!
Plenty of good sized chunks of beefy beef! Great seasoning. The leftover juice is so good you'll drink it and want more! I've backpacked for over 50 years and tried all the freeze-dried brands; Next Mile Meals beats them all by a longshot!
The chunks of meat were too large. Despite waiting extra time for the meal to re-hydrate, I got tired of chewing after 20 minutes.
These Next Mile meals were excellent. So flavorful and filling. The only thing that I would critique is the fact that the meat was still a bit chewy even after stewing in the hot water for 8-10 minutes. I would definitely order these meals again.
Chicken is really dry but you have to make trade offs with freeze dried meals. Flavor is good.
The food overall was very good. We got the sampler pack and had a great selection. Because we were up in the mountains, I expect that the water absorption (heat of the boiling water) was a bit less so the meat didn't absorb all of the water and was a bit chewy. That really didn't take away from the great flavor. The food was very filling and simple to prepare. Great option whether you need low carb or just want to have a great meal.
Excellent meal with lots of real chunks of beef... great tasting! (I even drank the leftover juice. Delicious!) I've been backpacking for over 50 years and have tried all the brands. This is the best brand I've ever eaten. On my last outing I had 2 different dinners and 2 different breakfasts, and can say the same for each of them!
If you're avoiding carbs while needing this type of meal then these are great. I use them for hunting in the backcountry. I will say that I add a tad more water than they suggest and I let them cook for about 30-45 min, longer when it's sub-32F. I also place them inside an insulated sleeve during cooking to avoid excess heat loss. I also appreciate that they are lighter and smaller than similar products. Normal hungry? Eat one. Extra hungry? Eat two. Good stuff.
These meals are unbelievable. I truly felt like I was eating fresh jambalaya right out of the pot. It’s shocking how healthy and good tasting these meals truly are!!!!
I bought several beef taco meals and although they had a great flavor, the meat did not rehydrate properly, even when I placed the meal pouch in my cozy. I do not live at high elevation and I used the required amount of water and waited the time per the instructions. I also tried the chicken and broccoli and had the same result.
This is the best dehydrated backpacking meal I've ever had. The chicken is front and center; there are no filler ingredients. The curry sauce and vegetables are there in appropriate proportions, and the meat is the center of the meal.
Good flavor but the chicken is toooooo dry and tooo much protein. Would have liked more veggies.
I bought the chicken and broccoli, buffalo chicken ranch and the beef marinara for a 5 day backpacking trip and all the chicken meals were horrible, the chicken didn't hydrate at all and everything was under seasoned. I would not buy them again. The only okay meal was the beef marinara.
I was pleasantly surprised with the taste of this low carb meal option, while hiking in the Enchantments. Tasty and filling, I would certainly bring it on my next adventure.
