Anyone have any favorite no-cook, or just add water, quick breakfast ideas? Other than instant oatmeal, of course.

Jim j solo has it exactly right. Mountain house blueberry granola with milk is one of my all time favorites. Good calorie count, keeps you going. In my backpacking days this was my staple for lunch, everyday. Add plenty of water to help keep you hydrated this meal is the bomb. If you get the pre packaged foil pouches use a longer spoon to get to the bottom.......I like being near water so you can rinse out the foil package.......then I liked using teeny tiny cable ties to keep the pouch folded tightly and in a zip lock bag......have to be mindful of odors and uninvited guests.

If I had to do it over again........I would purchase the #10 tins and transfer the contents into the nalgene wide mouth water canteens which make the ultimate food storage containers (3 different sizes- the large size holds 14 days worth of 1 cup of oats per day in a tough easy to store and use container).

My thermos holds enough water for two cups of coffee, a pack of oatmeal and still dribbles enough to rinse the bowl and spoon.

The last few years I've been taking granola bars with nearly the exact same nutritional label as Quaker for variety or mornings I didn't want to fuss with a bowl. But I recently noticed mini slimjim's in the fridge last week. Those will be an addition this year as it's my kind of Space Food stick!

They are a little fatter than candy cigarettes. Near Space Food stick size would be ideal IMO.

Gorp works anytime cold fried fish in a pinch…. One or two of my planned pancake breakfasts end up being lunch sometimes or more likely an appetizer for a fish dinner.

The first morning is usually hard boiled eggs and yogurt these days unless it's raining or something.

We take refrigeration and dates way too seriously IMO. Cheese, sausage, bacon, eggs, yogurt, and steak are like the little gifts that keep on giving.

I eat cold cereal everyday the rest of the year so when I found Nido, I started eating cold cereal on treks. I like grape nuts with some craisans and almonds. Shoulder seasons I mix nido at night and plenty cool by morning, mix in a gsi fair share mug and just add cereal.

I did for a few months once. I found it just wasn't me. I'll even pick up a few Cubans just after I cross the border these days. Too much DEET and Permethrin can't be good for anyone either. Wink

Most of my trail breakfasts are granola with dried blueberries, currants, and any berries I can find in the wild.  Added to that is a mix of 1/2 Carnation instant nonfat dry milk and 1/2 Nido (powdered whole milk), which yields 2%.  Because the Nido is slow to dissolve, I mix it up ahead of time as Bill Conner does, and by morning it's ready. 

Outdoor Herbivore has a few nice quick breakfasts, too.
There's AppalaChia (You need to Login or Register to view media files and links)
Toasted Sunburst Muesli (You need to Login or Register to view media files and links)
Apple Quinoa Oatmeal (You need to Login or Register to view media files and links)
and High Elevation Rice Cereal (You need to Login or Register to view media files and links)

If it's chilly and I have a little extra time I heat the milk for a wonderfully warm start to the day.

Nido is slow to dissolve? You mix it ahead of time? Bringing it for the first time on this trip. How slow could it be?

I'm making hot chocolate with it (the packets say add milk.....probably pretty good stuff)......maybe it will dissolve faster with boiling water.

Another tip from QJ folk......Nido, who knew?

Well, I liked it cooled which works well in September overnights. I suppose the Nido does not mix as easily as some things is why I always use the GSI fair share mug and shake the bejesus out of it.
