It is often enough to add hot or cold water, stir and wait a few minutes. Then you can eat straight from the bag. This makes your morning routine smoother and gives you more time for the experience itself.

Muesli, granola and energy-rich breakfast on tour

Many freeze-dried breakfasts are based on muesli, granola, oats, fruit, berries, milk or other energy-rich ingredients. This makes for a breakfast that is both easy to eat and convenient to carry around.

For shorter trips, a freeze-dried breakfast can be a convenient alternative to a regular breakfast. For longer trips, it becomes an important part of your meal planning. When you're walking many hours a day, your body needs a steady supply of energy, and a good breakfast will help you start the day stronger.

An energy-rich breakfast is especially important when you:

Going to walk far

Carrying a heavy backpack

Are outside in cold weather

Have several active days in a row

Need quick and easy food in the morning?

How to make freeze-dried breakfast

Freeze-dried breakfasts are very easy to prepare. Most meals are cooked directly in the bag, reducing the need for dishes and extra kitchen equipment.

This is how you usually do it:

  1. Open the bag.
  2. Add the specified amount of water.
  3. Stir thoroughly.
  4. Close the bag and let stand for a few minutes.
  5. Eat straight from the bag.

Some breakfasts can be cooked with cold water, while others are best cooked with hot water. Always read the instructions on the product for the correct amount of water and cooking time.

Freeze-dried breakfast in winter

During winter trips, skiing, mountaineering and cold mountain days, a hot breakfast is especially appreciated. A freeze-dried breakfast that can be prepared with hot water provides both energy and warmth when the body needs to get going.

In cold weather, it's smart to plan your breakfast so that it's easy to prepare even with gloves, wind, and limited daylight. Freeze-dried meals are therefore a safe choice when conditions are demanding.

Tips for winter trips:

Keep food easily accessible in the packaging

Have water ready or melted snow in good time

Use hot water for better comfort

Eat before you start freezing

Supplement with a hot drink for extra energy and warmth

Plan breakfast for several days

When planning meals for a multi-day trip, breakfast is an important part of the overall plan. Freeze-dried breakfasts make it easy to calculate portions, weight and energy per day. You also don't have to worry about shelf life in the same way that you do with fresh foods.

A simple plan for a hiking day could be:

Freeze-dried breakfast in the morning

Snacks, bars or energy during the day

Freeze-dried lunch or soup during break

Freeze-dried dinner in the evening

Hot drink or extra energy if needed

By combining freeze-dried breakfast with lunch, dinner, soups and energy products, you get a complete meal plan for the entire trip.
