Ova Easy egg powder – huge fan. I bring little ziplock bags with spices for all meals, including dehydrated chives and onion flakes. And little boxes of dried hashbrowns are a snap on the trail. My breakfast staple: tortillas rolled with peanut butter and M&Ms inside.. Carnation Breakfast Essentials powder comes in various flavors (I like the chocolate) mixed with powdered milk & water for a great breakfast drink.

Literally my hero!!! I’m planning the menu for my camping trip to Yellowstone and all I could think of was oatmeal 🙃. I will definitely be trying some of these!

In reply to Shawna. I definitely use those egg containers for car camping and I've used them for some short backpacking trips, but in general I find fresh eggs too bulky, heavy, and messy. But they definitely taste good!

Am I the only crazy person who brings actual eggs still in their shells, nestled in the cute little, yellow egg container? Admittedly not practical for long hikes but 6 fresh eggs are good for a week . I scramble them with green peppers, onions and/or mushrooms. Yum yum!

hot cheesy quesadillas, lots of carb lots of protein, add dehydrated salsa (reconstituted) for a punch; we sometimes add freeze dried eggs for a real treat

@Leigh | Campfires & Concierges,

Glad to learn about another company, thanks. At first I thought that was the one stated by a mom and son but it’s another family started business! There are so many great new garage-up type companies making healthier meals – I love it! GoodtoGo is my favorite so far (at REI) with really done veggie and GF meals.
I’m still trying to find a good savory, lightweight,
vegetarian breakfast for my husband. I’ll figure it out some day. ; )

Chia hot chocolate is my go to hike breakfast. Chia seed, dried coconut, a bit of hot chocolate mix. Oatmeal and eggs don’t agree with my stomach so my choices are limited. I’m excited to try mashed potato mix.

We have tried the egg powder – I agree it’s definitely much more affordable. However, I don’t think it’s nearly as tasty as the freeze dried eggs. I guess its up to each person to decide if they want to splurge on backpacking eggs 🙂

Amazon carries bulk dried egg powder (I got the 2 pound can from Augason Farms). It’s easy to package into individual bags and add bacon bits and dried vegetables, and it rehydrates and cooks into perfect scrambled eggs! Much more affordable than $7 individual breakfast packs.

Another instant box food we love is scalloped potatoes. I dehydrate corned beef at home and mix it in. If you have a little extra time in the morning, frying the beef after it is rehydrated adds caramelization to the edges of the beef then add the potatoes and follow package directions with powdered milk and butter.
