[aaroniguana]

Fried scrapple ....topped with Apple Butter....yum!!!

Damn straight! That stuff is so evil delish it should keep without refrigeration for at least a week.

You do realize you could make it yourself with Nido full fat (26%) milk, freeze dried bananas and bulk granola from the store? And make like 10-15 servings easily for the price of 2 bags of MH?

I like PopTarts in the summer.

Go first class and get the Kashi brand granola, you can't tell it from the Mountain House with the Nido in it and you can put whatever fruit you want in it.

I was thinking of using honey powder like I do the powdered peanut butter: certainly not as a substitute for the real thing but rather to add interest, taste, and variety to regular pack foods.
Before we get all ga-ga over soy milk, wander over here: http://www.t-nation.com/readArticle.do?id=459861 and do some research.

[TACKLE]

Right! I start off with a dozen in a carrier, I'd take more if they weren't so heavy. That and some of that pre-cooked bacon. The bacon comes in 15 strip boxes. That works out to 3 - 3 egg and 5 bacon strip breakfasts, 1 two boiled egg lunch and 1 ramen egg-drop soup. Mmmmmmmmm.

Egg drop soup sounds great. You just stir in an egg?

TACKLE

[skinny minnie]

oatmeal with flax seed and a little bit of protein powder, powdered milk (I'm obsessed with the brand Peak - can buy it at caribbean grocers, tastes amazing in coffee as well)

add dried cinnamon apples and walnuts

or dried cherries and dried apples and almonds

or dried coconut and almonds

or dried apricots

or dried bananas

or pretty much all of the above for everything oatmeal!

breakfast couscous is good too - use instant couscous, add any of the above ingredients

[StarLyte]

Looks like you're more about a quick breakfast, but on a cold morning nothing warms me up like some nice hot oatmeal with powdered milk and raisins!

I also throw in a handful of shelled sunflower seeds. Lots of protein goin on.

Make sure your flax seed is cracked/hulled/ground ahead of time in order to get the total nutritional value from it. I use flax a lot.

Honey buns. 2 fer a dollar, 900 calories.

Sure, eat that if you want to crash and burn. That's all simple, quick burning carbs. Ideally, you want to eat complex carbs like oatmeal for real hiking energy.

[Wise Old Owl]

PS- Honey packets at Popeye's Chicken. I get a few everytime I stop there.

It came to my attention most places are now writing on their packets "Honey Flavor" Its mostly simple syrup.

milled flax seed, good stuff.

Where do you buy those individual servings of honey? I make pancakes (one big thick one) in my Bakepacker lite, but haven't found a source of syrup packets yet.

The Chick-fil-a in our area carries the honey packets.

I use to have a pop tart breakfast but crashed to soon. I'm trying to make all my calories count this trek. Going with Oatmeal to Go bars, instant oatmeal and a ziplock of shredded wheat squares mixed with walnuts, splenda and powered milk. Add water mix and eat.

[ShelterLeopard]

Oatmeal with hot cocoa powder on top!
