Coconut Chicken Curry

Last year I bought Next Mile Meals and across the board they were excellent. I took this on a Bikepacking trip and was stoked for some Keto Goodness. I followed the instructions and after 10 minutes the Chicken was still hard. So I added a bit more boiling water and waited. As a seasoned Freezer Bag Meal backpacker, I kept the meal in my jacket. I checked the meal every 5 minutes and added boiling water every 10 minutes. Finally I drank a soupy mess with stiff chicken. I am bummed and hope this is just a production fluke. My last experience with NMM was out of this world excellent!

We just finished a week on the AT and Next Mile Meals were consistently the best of all the backpacking meals we brought for breakfast and dinner. We brought a variety of brands that were considered "the best", but there was really no comparison with NMM. It took a little bit to get the water and heating times right, but I suspect that's the case with most meals in a bag. Moving forward, we won't be taking anything but NMM with us on the trails.

I was really used to the crunch in the old recipe, which was changed I guess for allergy reasons (it used to have almonds I think). It’s still good but I miss that a lot. What I do now is add a 1 oz packet of peanuts to the bag when I add the water. It works well with the flavors and adds that crunch again.

I loved it. It also does not have cheese which I like! Please make more non dairy items!

Great energy for lunch on the tailgate after climbing the mountains in search of Chukar. Or walking the prairie in pursuit of Prairie Chickens, Sharptail Grouse, and Hungarian Partridge. The dogs have the energy. I need to refuel at noon. This is the meal I prefer!!
