Help Us Choose Our Next Adventure!

June 18, 2019

choosing the next keto backpacking food

This year's hiking season is in full swing and we've loved seeing where our customers have been traveling! Even while we're having a blast keeping up with your summer time adventures this year, we can't help but think ahead to what the next few months have in store for us (and you!).

Breakfasts were such a huge hit this spring that we're already brainstorming the next great addition to our healthy hiking line-up. Our test kitchen has been hard at work cooking up our newest menu options.

If you could choose, what would you love to see available on the Next Mile Meals site?

Dinner for every adventure

The six meals currently available on the site are the same six freeze-dried meal dinners that fueled us on our Pacific Crest Trail thru hike, but that doesn't mean we should stop there. Some stir-fry recipes? Or maybe something with a bit more Moroccan influence? Or how about a good old-fashioned deconstructed Cheese Burger? Some more paleo backpacking meals?

MOAR Breakfasts!

Two morning meals are great, but more would be better! We've been thinking up some new backcountry recipes to start your mornings right, including a Veggie Frittata, a Greek Omelette, and we've got a few other egg scrambles up our sleeve.

Something entirely different

We've been playing around with some new recipes that are totally different, like fat bombs and keto blocks and low carb no-oat meal; options that are trail tested and camper-approved. Not everyone has the time (or the stove) to rehydrate a meal, so what other meal additions might make your hike or trip a bit easier?

Leave a comment below to share your thoughts and wishes, and you just might see those dreams become reality in time for your next adventure!

At least one more breakfast, maybe a French toast flavored fat bomb if you can figure out the mix. Cheeseburger yes!!! With freeze dried bacon and guacamole. Fat bombs or Keto bricks would be awesome for lunch or a quick no cook breakfast. BTW, I’ve unintentionally become a rep for you on the Appalachian Trail, everyone loves your meals. :)

Breakfast wishes: Sausage gravy on cheddar biscuits. The biscuits could go in the same pouch but would be in a second bag, to be pulled out before rehydrating the gravy. The crunch of the biscuits would be a nice texture counterpoint. Maybe waffles to go with the gravy instead. Almond flour works well for both breads.

Snack wishes: Real fat bombs, packaged by calorie amount to compare with protein-heavy bars (like Quest). Cocoa butter, dark chocolate, nuts and nut butters, coconut oil, ghee, almond or coconut flours. Doesn’t have to maintain a bar-type consistency, could be more like a “Stinger” shot. A conveniently-packaged small serving could still be very low carb. I can make these myself from shelf-stable ingredients, but once I put them together the clock is ticking…

Anything without dairy would appeal to a wider audience, like the paleo crowd. I can’t digest grains or dairy so would love more options that work for me. Thanks!

Well, since you asked….if it were a perfect world NMM would be available for shipment/purchase in Canada! But failing that? I’ll take that deconstructed cheeseburger!

OMG no-oat meal would be amazing!!
