Excellent

Delicious. I loved it. Works good in a tortilla or with rice to add some carbs and cals. Happy hiking!

Excellent

Great meals when on the go. I’ll be having these on my August JMT thru hike. I was in the military for a few years and have eaten many MRE’s and always had the other popular brands, but these are really next level. Highly recommended.

The worst taste and texture

This had the worst taste and texture of any backpacking meal I’ve ever tried. I will not be purchasing any more of these.

Good but a little dry

Tried a few meals and put the recommended amount of water and the chicken stays a little dry and crunchy add an extra oz or two for best results

Sausage Scramble

Frustrating to fill this out from the email. It goes blank half-way through.

Anyway...the directions on the package say to cover with water but not submerge. That worked for other meals but this one floated in the water and I couldn't tell when it was "covered". Note: I had no measuring device so I was winging it. The result was breakfast soup which tasted ok but not what ya'll intended, I'm sure.

These meals did not live up to the promise

They tasted false and grainy, with the feel of artificiality.

Great taste

Excellent texture and creamy ctaste

Delicious

I thought that the Cajun style Jambalaya was outstanding. It was the best meal I have had in the field that has come from a bag. Highly recommend!

Lots of Sausage!

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!

Good to the Last Drop

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!

Not Good

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.

Tasty and flavorful

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.

Good food

Chicken is really dry but you have to make trade offs with freeze dried meals. Flavor is good.

Chicken broccoli

It was delicious

Great Low Carb Options

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.

Plenty of beef!

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!
