Product description

Freeze-dried food - if you're into going light, this is for you. These are almost the same size as the regular meals, just more like something people tend to eat for breakfast and generally contain more carbs and energy to get the day going.

Freeze-dried food is good when potable water is available so that you don't have to carry it, like when trekking in Finland. Blå Band stuff has the usual modern features - it doesn't require cooking after adding water, and you can eat it straight out of the bag.

Despite the Swedish name, the food itself is actually made in Germany.

The food has a shelf life usually of two years. These won't turn bad after that, though.

Nutritious and lots of bang for its weight. I have only tried the rice pudding with berries, it is tasty. The first time I tried it, it tasted pretty bland, not sweet at all and rather salty, but actually all it needs is sugar added to taste and it is brilliant. As for the porridge ones (I have not tried them!), you can make your own for cents, by using oats and dried milk, plus some dried fruit bought from the supermarket.

Blå band Apple cinnamon porridge is a great freeze dried breakfast. It tastes pretty ok for a freeze dried meal (close to expiry date, bought a while back). It's not like "wow". It's more like "wow, real porridge without washing the pot after, brilliant, but was it delicious, not really, it just tastes like... porridge". It was a big portion, I'm a big guy and could almost not finish it all. Freeze dried porridge sounds totally disgusting but it can't be much better than this, just like home made, but feel free to add some real jam, raisins or something. Would I buy it again? No. Even though I hate washing dishes I really can't justify the cost of this meal compared to making my own porridge by boiling cheap oats (havregryn), costing 1 USD per kilo. I'll bring my own oats and save the money for freeze dried food with meat/fish to be eaten at lunch/dinner. I will probably regret it when I'm washing dishes again.

Best freeze-dried breakfast there is - like the regular meals from that company. I really love the Apple Cinnamon Pudding since it is not overwhelmingly sweet nor heavy, but perfect for a good start. Highly recommended.
