Peak Refuel Butternut Dal Bhat | Freeze Dried Backpacking and Camping Food | Amazing Taste & Quality | High Protein | Real Meat | Quick Prep (2 Serving Pouch)

I split mine into 2 mylar bags because it is a lot of food for one person. I have tried a lot of freeze dried meals and this is by far the BEST pre-made camp dinner I have ever had. Seriously good.

This meal was delicious!!! And it wasn’t just because we had been hiking. My sister and I have had lots of these dehydrated backpacking meals and we agree that Peak Refuel is the best but that this butternut dal bhat was the BEST backpacking meal we’ve ever had. It’s gluten free, vegetarian (I think also vegan) but so flavorful. Has tons of protein but not as much as an animal protein meal so if you are feeling like you need more bring along some packets of chicken or jerky to up the protein intake.

I ordered (4) of the peanut butternut dal Bhat, because I found I really like them. What I got was two of them ad two sweet pork rice….. not what I wanted and apparently, because it’s a grocery item, I cant return it. Even though its a sealed hydrated food. At 13$ a bag, Iam really not happy that I got sent the wrong food and I can’t do anything bout it. If nothing else, I should do receive a credit or something.

My daughter and I shared this and we both thought it was really good. Definitely the best of our 3 dinners during our backpacking trip. I would buy again!

It should be noted that the portion size on this product is not skimpy. The bags are labeled as providing 2 servings. I ordered it thinking "sure, it's probably just barely enough for just me." But no! There is a lot of chow here. The bag weighs nearly 7 oz. before adding water. The reason I mention this is because leftover food can be a problem in bear country. If you're flying solo, maybe fix one of these at home and see about the portion size before taking it on a backpacking adventure--and if it's too much just bring along half a bag, or a friend!
