Yup. We just put it in our coffee. Cheap calories, and good in the coffee. Gives you wicked gas though...
This is why I no longer consume this stuff and open minded outside of the box forward thinking professional Nutritionists are offering food alternatives. There are better nutritional alternatives whether off or on trail...if we soberly take back our right to decide what we consume.

Typical! Marketing of nutrition in the food industry hypes the potential good nutritional aspects ignoring the dismal nutritional aspects of highly processed food like substances which make the overall nutritional quality of the product quite dismal even highly health problematic.
Look at what this is nutritionally in the vanilla version. 150 calories in a serving with 80 of those calories(20 g) from sugar. This is a 53% by caloric content sugar drink not a protein or calcium or vitamin drink. No wonder why so many addicted to high sugar intake such as those on the Standard American Diet(SAD) like it and those accustomed to roller coasting sugar energy highs bonk. It's starting your day with a sugary processed food like engineered substance similar to what the food industry offers in high sugar content highly processed b'fast cereals marketed to children to addict this young consumer group to an industry's economic approach to nutrition. Are you as an adult also being treated as a child by the food industry?
Nutritionists and Psychologists have rightly placed sugar along side other drug addictions. Sugar could be considered as a drug to which one becomes habituated regularly craving, psychologically(neuro-chemical) and physically addicting implicated in the development of many diseases and health issues. Behavioral studies have demonstrated people addicted to sugar go though withdrawals when not receiving their high sugar intake.
And, bringing it full circle applied to hiking, if concerned about food wt, cal/oz, overall nutritional needs, maintaining an energy baseline, and daily caloric needs as a backpacker ask yourself food soberly - if this is possible - "is this option the best to be habitually consuming on a backpacking trip for energy and overall nutritional needs; is this substance truly a nutritional powerhouse as marketed?"

Dogwood.... please don’t look in my food bag!
I can't imagine hiking all morning on Instant Breakfast when a package of oatmeal weighs about the same. Personally, I like something that fills my stomach for more than ten seconds. But to each his own, I guess.
By the way, half&half packets improve the taste of oatmeal as much as they do coffee. I guess they'd work with instant breakfast, too. I carry them in my coffee mug so they don't get crushed.
