Heathers Choice meals review
« on: July 24, 2016, 04:33:02 PM »
I purchased some of the Heathes Choice meals to give them a try before elk season.  I typically eat healthy and have some food allergies so i decided to give them a go.  I have tried Alpine Air and Mountain House before and these are by far leaps and bounds better then either one.  I just gave the Cherry Chilli a go, and then poured it into a bowl.  The serving is a very large and fills a bowl completely up.  Even sitting at home they taste good and would fill you up big time.  Just thought i would throw this out there incase there were a few people on the fence do to the price.  My opinion, with how much i spend on hunting, an extra $4 for awesome food is nothing.

Good to know. Tried Alpine Air meals this weekend and was not impressed. I'll give these a go next time!
Just tend your own and live.

I'd try em but not a single one doesn't have an ingredient of some sort I don't like  :bash:

I know they are spendy.  But you get what you pay for.  When i add up all the gear and tags/applications/time off work/gas. It doesn't bother me to pay a little more for things that are good.  I went as light and cheap as possible last year, and it burned me out after a few days.  When i was 10 miles back and hiking my butt off i wanted some good food.  This year i will buy better food and bring more even if it cost me a few ounces.

I need to check back again. Every time I go to order they're out of the two I want. Yes, they are very good and much healthier than the MH's even though they are close to 3 times the price.

Wow, very few choices offered in the entrées.  Chili, spaghetti, and a couple of others that look somewhat scary  :(

Can you guys elaborate on why you think MH, Alpine Air, and Backpackers Pantry are so "unhealthy"?? The macronutrient profile is legit, they don't use preservatives, and emphasize whole foods. I see complaints about the sodium content but when you're pounding out the miles in the backcountry you NEED salt, otherwise you're going to run out of go in your muscles real quick.

dollar or two more I would try them, but $15 is almost 3x what MH/BP go for.  That is dinner at a restaurant price where I do not have to cook, get served a nice cold beer and can flirt with the waitress..

Vs.



For alot of folks it's the ingredients. I make a conscious effort to eat healthy most of the time. So when I go 5 days in a row on mtn house it's rough. Just my thoughts.
