Extremely Chewy Chicken

The flavor of this meal was good, however the chicken didn’t rehydrate. I followed all the directions exactly, and even let the meal soak for longer than recommended. The result was a slightly watery meal with extremely dry and chewy chicken.

The only reason this was rated as a two star instead of a one star is that the flavor was good. The texture however not and I won’t be buying this again.

The steak omelette was fantastic! I say ‘was’ because I basically ate every bite on my backpacking trip! 🙌🏻

Great flavor!

Horsey Sauce?

A little different. Perhaps it needed more time but at 7500 ft, some of the meat did not rehydrate. Served with mayo and mustard packets. A little horsey sauce would probably be pretty good with it.

Tasty fuel for the body

Delicious ingredients. Appropriate portions. Perfect for Keto eaters, but I’d recommend it for anyone who wants to boost protein and burn energy that’s cleaner than carbs. Will def. purchase again.

This latest packet from my Aug 2025 order seems saltier, less cheesy

I’ve ordered this meal repeatedly over the last 5 years, as it is one of my favorites. From my order in Aug 2025, the beef tacos meal seems saltier than usual and less cheesy. Granted, the last time I ate one of these was last year (Oct 2024) and that packet was actually from an order I placed in Oct 2022 (still tasty, even if a couple years old!). Anyway, I don’t know if their recipe changed a bit since 2022, but this particular 2025 packet seemed extra salty and seemed slightly less cheesy. Still enjoyed the meal and still intend to keep ordering meals from this company, but I really hope my perception of the quality being off this time is wrong and future orders will be better!

Best Clean Freeze Dry meal I have found

I alternated between the Beef Taco and Italian Style, both were really good but this one is the winner.

Great meals

All gone. Ate them all out in trail. Add a big junk of butter to it and it even more better. More calories.

Fantastic!!

Just tried these while backpacking through the Enchantments. Did not disappoint. I will be a repeat customer. So pleased to have a keto option!

Did not enjoy it

I did not enjoy this and will not be purchasing again. While the eggs where soggy, the sausage was still crunchy. I tried a couple times with different water/time and still didn't really rehydrate correctly.

Perfect Macros

I ordered 3 coconut chicken curry for a backpacking trip because they are the perfect macros for me. I attempted 3 times to get the chicken to rehydrate completely but it did not. The chicken was chewy and slightly hard, I did follow the directions. The flavor was ok but won't purchase again because of the chicken.

Love!Directions are spot on as well

Chicken Casserole

I am pleasantly surprised by the meals. The contents did not leave me hungry; I was in the backcountry for 8 days and morning and evening meals consisted of Next Mile-placing my next order now for another adventure. Some of the meals do not rehydrate all the way, but that is common with most dehydrated products.

So good

I should have cooked it a little longer than the suggested 10 minutes but the taste was so so good! I will definitely be purchasing again for my next backpacking trip.

Buffalo Ranch Chicken

The flavor was very good, but the chicken was tough and did not rehydrate adequately. I was very careful to use boiling water and to wait the entire time which still was not sufficient. Disappointing.

Not just for hiking

This meal was bought as gift for low-carb friend. He is very pleased with the Next Mile Meals I have given him. Your meals are the best freeze-dried low-carb option I have found so far.

Love this one!

So yummy after a long hike

Delicious, but clumpy cheese

This is one of my favorites, next to beef tacos. The only problem is that no matter how much I stir it the mozzarella cheese ends up in big clumps and not represented throughout the meal. Other than that it’s a fantastic freeze dried meal for my adventures in the backcountry.

My husband has type 2 diabetes that is controlled with diet. We ordered our first round of these meals a few weeks ago and used them on our 17 mile backpacking trip this padt weekend. These are the best camping meals ever! We liked them so much, I ordered more on Monday!!
