  Nice vegetarian meal that can be added to a wrap or as a side if needed. Would purchase again for our next trip.

  Tasty but lacking Protein

  If you are a picky vegetarian, you will enjoy this meal after a casual day on the trail. If you are a picky vegetarian, you will not be satisfied with this meal after a grueling day of portages and windy paddles. It would need at least 50% more protein to compete against other options! That said, I'd keep it as a yummy snack when I'm not hurting for nutrients.

  approve as a light meal

  10/21/25

  taste is ok, it's a bit spicy, portion size is ok for a light meal or snack if for a full grown guy. Ok as a meal for someone with a smaller appetite. Not sure I would take this as a full meal, would need at least two of them after a day of hiking, that's too much packaging to carry.

  Good smaller meal

  Easy to make and tastes great on the trail. Portion size is good for lunch but not quite enough for a full meal

  Decent side dish

  I wouldn't count on this as a full meal, best as a side dish, maybe in tortillas or something. Pleasantly spicy, though needs a bit more salt and I added lime (those powdered packets).
