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.
Most days I prefer bars but these are nice in a low carb wrap when I have a bit more time at camp in the morning. I add some cheddar.
Breakfast was ok. Wish it didn’t contain any soy based products
We went to burning man and had them twice a day and they rocked! They were soooooo good and a bunch of people in our camp ordered some after they got home! Can’t say enough good things about the taste and quality! Can’t wait to bring them on our airstream adventure!
This is my go to backcountry meal program. Since I am a type 2 diabetic that controls it with diet and exercise, I have to be careful with my carbs and sugars. Next Mile Meals have been a game changer for me.
My first time trying Next Mile meals and although the flavors are good the chicken meat was like eating boot leather. I was at around 9500 ft elevation so I doubled the recommended rehydrating time and it was still like boot leather. I wouldn’t buy again. I spend about 50 nights a year in the back country eating dehydrated meals.
Spent the weekend backpacking with my son and friend. We enjoyed a beautiful hike and set up camp all the while saying who was hungrier! I finally ate my first Next Mile meal and I was impressed as how good it tasted. I could have used a bigger portion though. Also, the chicken remained a bit hard and chewy even after being allowed to sit for over 10 minutes.
I would definitely eat this again however, perhaps allowing a longer time frame in the boiled water would help the chicken soften up
It was good, however the meat was a little dry even after letting it sit and cook in hot water a bit longer than directed. But over all these meals are a lifesaver for those who can't eat supper high carb backpacking meals.
The deli roast beef was decent, but very dry and tough. It could have been that I got a bad batch.
