The freeze-dried bananas from "Just Tomatoes" are excellent. Most banana chips are fried in coconut or palm oil, both saturated fats that aren't very good for your circulatory system. Read those labels! If they're fried in a more healthful type of oil, they're fine. With my morning muesli, I often use a mixture of freeze-dried bananas and freeze dried berries (strawberries, raspberries or blueberries). I'm going to try Grape-Nuts or Kashii 7 Whole Grain Nuggets (very similar but more protein and, IMHO, more flavor) with the fruit in the future. I'm also going to try making my own granola (commercial granolas are far too sweet for my taste). While I love meusli, every day for a whole week is a bit much.

Honey Bunches of Oats Clusters (note the clusters) with Milkman (premixed into a single serving) with a chocolate/PB powerbar and a LARGE cup of SB Breakfast Blend. Sometimes i make the coffee the night before and just do it cold the next morning in a .5 liter nalgene bottle with milkman and some Karo so I dont have to get the pots out. A sudafed also helps with the morning stuffynose and a wake-me-up kickstart (getting old is hell). Has anyone experimented with reconstituting Snoq Falls oatmeal by just soaking it overnight? I gotta check into that cocoanut powder, sounds tasty.

Most of these wonderful sounding yummy-type breakfasts posted here are just too heavy or involve too much cooking, and of course, the clean-up afterward. I try to avoid both whenever I can while hiking. Although it is not necessarily what I would eat at home, I usually just have Muslix or granola, perhaps with some dehydrated fruit and powdered milk. It is fast and gives good energy. Also, if eating freeze-dried meals for dinner, it provides that all-important fiber. For potassium, bring along some banana chips.

Like all breakfasts I carry they don't require more than boiling water This is one I like to make - you can use fresh Huckleberries instead as well: Sarah's Fattening Coconut Berry Oatmeal In a pint freezer bag put: 2 packets instant plain oatmeal (1/2 cup dry) 2 Tbsp coconut cream powder 2 Tbsp diced dried fruit blend 1 Tbsp natural coconut 1 Tbsp brown sugar 1/2 tsp cinnamon Add 1 cup near boiling water and stir well. Let sit for a couple minutes till cool enough to eat. Serves 1. (Recipe is from my site)

That sounds quite tasty; I might have to try it.

Bacon -Toast Sandwiches Fry bacon and drain fat. Toast bread and spread liberally with butter. Make sandwiches as soon as the bacon is done. Let cool and pack for trip. These will keep for days. You can also add a slice of cheese!

GrapeNuts + just enough milk, water, or water+powdered milk to barely cover. Heat over stove, stirring often. About 1 billion times better than oatmeal. Hot, good flavor, real texture. Sprinkle some sugar in the raw over it, or throw in some berries. Nom nom nom. --Gray
