An easy, no cook breakfast, is bagels with cream cheese or peanut butter. 

Coffee and bagels work fine.  But if you have a bit of time and energy, you can heat your frying pan, and not add any grease, and the bagels will toast up nicely. 

I also bring along precooked bacon.  Topping bagels/cream cheese with bacon adds some zest! 

We eat this meal on days we're breaking camp early and/or want to be on the water quickly.

Carnation Instant Breakfast - which is called Breakfast Essentials now. 

Depending on volume - for one serving;using premeasured Nido in a baggy sandwich bag - take a sandwich sized ziplock bag - add your cup of water, then pour in the Nido - seal and shake vigorously; carefully open and add the instant breakfast - shake vigouously (best if you roll down the top a turn or two to prevent any leakage out of the seal - occasionally a drop or two will leak out of the corners of the seal.  You can squeeze the bag between your fingers if you find any lumps, to mush up the lump - then pour into your cup.   Along with the instant breakfast, I will have a "granola bar" of some sort - usually one of the nutrition bars of whatever variety, or some sort of packaged "cookie" like a Little Debby cinnamon streusel, or blueberry muffin.

I have never had any issues with the nido not mixing using the shake the bag method.

Instead of mixing non-fat plus nido to get 2%, why not just buy Milkman which is 2% - it was off the market for a number of years, but is back in production mow.  I haven't seen it in the grocery store, but REI sells it - $3 per quart pouch is expensive though - likely could buy it online somewhere for a lot less.

Nido is easiest found at Walmart, in the Mexican Food section.  Maybe at a Whole Foods type of store also.

I also use the Nido/Milkman to mix up INSTANT pudding - same methodology, just shale the pudding mix for a minute or two, then put the ziplock into a second ziplock to keep lake water off, tie a string to the bag and toss into the lake - sets up nicely.

for solo trips, I do a half package of pudding with one cup of milk - adjust as needed for group size.

Home made trail mix, (which is mostly cashews, almonds and raisins), some type of breakfast/granola bar, and a snack size box of raisins.

I think we have it all wrong.
What PJ REALLY means is if you drink enough
Yukon Jack, you THINK your in Copenhagen and start posing for pics like his infamous "Merman" pic.
Obviously a shout-out to the famous "Little Mermaid", but with a UpNorth sensibility.
