Heather's Choice Strawberry Vanilla Breakfast

Tasty, healthy breakfast. Found at random online. Smaller outfit that specializes in backcountry meals. Gave it a try on my last adventure and was very impressed by the taste and homemade quality. Having visited the website to consider future meals, it's obvious the gal who owns and operates is very skilled, not only in food prep, but in backpacking. Will definitely try again. Full review

Mountain House Breakfast Skillet

This meal was very easy to make and filling and had a lot of flavor. Everything heated well though the eggs were a bit runny for my taste. The flavors were good and the meal was very hearty. If weight isn’t a concern I think this would go amazing in a tortilla with some hot sauce as to me it tasted like the inside of a breakfast burrito. I tried this meal as a member of another site in exchange for a review while at Lodgepole Overflow Campground in Lake Alpine. This meal was very easy to make… Full review

Good To-Go Granola

Delicious, nutritious meal. Much better tasting than other granola varieties. The pros of taste, prep ease, and nutrition far outweigh any cons. I received this product as a gift for being a past Reviewer of the Month at Trailspace. Taste: This was easily the best tasting prepackaged breakfast I've had to date. It was sweet, nutty, fruity, and hearty all at the same time. The ingredients combined perfectly for my palate. A few of the ingredients are figs, blueberries, almonds, oars, and flax seed.

Good To-Go Oatmeal

Yummy and different take on a classic backcountry breakfast. We have all eaten our share of oatmeal breakfasts in the backcountry. Many opt for the grocery store bought packets, which aren't necessarily great, and are usually loaded with sugar, and not much else. I have been in the habit of creating my own ziploc oatmeal packets with oats, nuts, cranberries, raisins, and brown sugar, which is decent, but not perfect. Good To-Go has had great success with their tasty dinners, and steps into the breakfast… Full review

Mountain House Scrambled Eggs with Bacon

Walk, no, run away from these! Do not buy these, do not try these, they are nasty. The only "camping meal" worse then this is the dreaded MRE Veggie omelet. These taste like shame and regret, which happens to share flavors with cardboard and packing peanuts. My favorite brands in order are Good To-Go, Pack It Gourmet, Mountain House, Outdoor Herbivore, Hawk VittleS, Backpacker's Pantry, AlpineAire, MRE. These do not stand up to MH's typical quality. What's weird is that the Breakfast Skillet is… Full review

Packit Gourmet Santa Fe Breakfast Corn Pudding

This is the best pre-packaged breakfast that I have eaten on the trail. I have sampled many other dehydrated and freeze dried breakfast items over the years, and have not repurchased any of them. The Packit Gourmet (PIG) Santa Fe Breakfast Pudding is the first one that will be a regular in my trail food rotation. Summary: I usually test gear multiple times, but this breakfast meal was so good a couple of weeks ago that I thought I would share it with everyone before the colder months really set… Full review

Backpacker's Pantry Granola with Bananas & Milk

Loaded with calories, this Backpacker’s Pantry breakfast is an excellent product for one VERY hungry hiker, or two people with normal appetites. Note: This is a LOT of breakfast, you don’t want to feed forest creatures. Look for the single serving granola meals! This just-add-water dehydrated meal is ideal for people that want to enjoy their meal quickly, and get to what they want to be spending their day doing, be it hiking, sailing, or any other highly rigorous activity. Specs Makes Two 13oz… Full review

OvaEasy Whole Egg Crystals

Tasted even better than fresh eggs, super easy to prepare, stayed fresh for months. I'm aware the OvaEasy eggs have been reviewed many times on Trailspace, almost uniformly positively. Heck, it's why I decided to try them. I just have to add my "Yea!" vote. It's so nice to find a product that works, isn't super expensive, and makes camping and backpacking just that little bit more comfortable. In January of this year, I took Nutriom.com up on their introductory free-shipping offer to buy one small… Full review
