Wild Zora Paleo Freeze Dried Meals for Backpacking & Camping - Healthy Gluten Free & Grain Free Camping Meals/Backpacking Food + No Added Sugar - Includes Breakfast & Dinner Options (Variety 7-pack)

I have these tasty freeze-dried meals on auto ship and recently used a bunch when our family went camping. The meals came in handy on a couple nights when there was heavy rain and we couldn’t conveniently cook on our grill. Two packets were enough to feed two adults and three little kids. All of my kids, even, surprisingly, my picky one year old seemed to enjoy these!We have a couple people with severe allergies in our family so it is really appreciated that the foods from Wild Zora are free from allergens. The ingredient list is really high quality, high protein, and healthful. It seems like most freeze dried meals don’t have as high a protein content. You could easily add additional seasonings (tastes great as is but would be easy to customize), proteins, veggies, or serve over a grain such as rice. The texture is great, as with many freeze dried meals the food is chopped pretty fine prior to packaging.I have also used these meals when restaurant fare has been unsuitable due to allergens and the meals are portable, lightweight, and easy to prepare. I have only made the meals with hot water in a bowl or pan (not the pouch) but being able to make them with cooler water/ in the pouch makes them very versatile and convenient.

This was my first backpacking adventure and I knew I wanted something with less sodium and processed ingredients after hearing so many negatives about other dehydrated meals, as well as wanting more vegetable options. I decided to try these instead. I really loved the fruit and flaxseed for a breakfast option, especially the pineapple/mango one. The dinner meals were fine, although they all taste too similar. They were filling! My only complaint is that the meat and veggie pieces are much too finely chopped and I got very bored eating the same bite after bite. It kind of seemed like I was eating the little dehydrated veggie packets that come with some noodles.If you aren’t on a strict paleo or grain-free diet, I would suggest bringing tortilla shells. Luckily I had some and that definitely helped the monotony of the meals. I also added salt and pepper, and wished I had some Tabasco too.I would purchase these again, definitely for the breakfast meals. I think I’d do the dinners as well, but perhaps eat half a packet and half of something with rice or grain. Definitely worth the money and I’m happy to support this company!

Normally I would not buy this type of product. It seems more suitable for man bun wearing guys that for a 66 year old red neck.But I decided to try the variety pack for my wife. She likes to try freeze dried meals when we are not at home. I was very surprised when I tried these. I liked them better than my wife did.I like the major brand freeze dried products. But these are a big step above them. They are a bit more pricey though.The meals are tasty, easy to prepare, and filling. I found these single serving meals are more filling then the two serving meals from the well known competition. They also are not as bland as the competition. I didn't find a need to spice it up.I will be buy them again.

These meals are ok. The flavor is very earthy, while the meat in the meals are delicious. The meals were missing the oxygen absorbers so that may have played a role in the flavor being so earthy. I stepped out and tried these meals to help add some variety to my last backpacking trip. The whole group agreed that the flavor was just off for some reason. Some salt might have helped? There was plenty of food for an adult and I felt full after eating the meal. I would not buy them again because I question the shelf life with no oxygen absorbers in the meals and again, the flavor was just a little off.

I recently bought the seven pack for a 53 mile backpacking trip and was very pleased with all of them. I’m not a breakfast person and these breakfasts were amazingly good. I am strictly Paleo/AIP diet and I was so happy to find this brand. A lot of the other dehydrated brands had crap in it that I didn’t want to eat along with gluten, sugars and other excessive carbs. These were very nutrient dense and I felt clean and healthy on my trip. The flavors were really good and the quality was top notch. I was excited to have dinner every night! The only thing I would suggest is maybe bring some extra fat to throw in there like a bit of butter or some extra olive or coconut oil. That would make it absolutely perfect and you need that extra fat on backpacking trips for added fuel, these are on the lean side on the fats, but still very filling. I will eat these on my next back packing trip 100%.

I ordered the mix. So a few different nightmeals and a few breakfast. I tried two of dinners for lunch, hoping the 2nd one would better. I was wrong. I can eat anything, but I could not finish either of these. And the gas from both! Lethal! Even the curry couldn't save the meal. It truly was awful, and it seems like this was a common report, as they advertise " Now with better flavor". Yikes! The package reads healthy, though calories are very low for a hiking dinner. But what they combine is bad. And everything is ground down. Its weird. All of the vegetables are a little more than small flakes now. I also tried the banana nut blueberry with flax seed. The blueberries were great! They rest was so ground down, it just made for a horible texture and beyond bland just like the dinners. Nothing sweetening it, just plain milled down flax seed. Glad I tried these before hiking, that would have been rough. Truly made by food scientists or people that believe kale is good.
