I think this is an area where guys pack a lot of unneeded crap.  Design your nutrition plan around as few items and cooking as possible.  When you are carrying it on your back, it's just calories.  Don't get crazy elaborate.   I pack a jetboil, a couple of cheap spork/spoon things and I just recently started carrying a titanium  cup for coffee. I drink coffee a few times a day and got tired of my coffee tasting like Ramen and my Ramen tasting like coffee

And your Backcountry coffee of choice is?

Titanium jet boil, titanium spork, and the plastic cup that comes with the jetboil.

For coffee I use Starbucks instant vias and unflavored protein powder for creamer.

How is that? I've never considered it until now.

Jetboil, Sea to summit long spoon, have Sea to summit collapsible cup to try this year. Long spoon is great for eating your Mountain House, no getting food on your knuckles.

Collapsible stove, metal cup, metal spork. I don't do coffee anymore on the mountain.
Just water and something to put in the water. My meals stay in their as purchased packages and eaten out of the same packages.

Then, if I'm on a long enough trip and have enough MH packages, I use the empties to make gaiters.

Yeah I know, but I got tired of having to take care of business right in the middle of prime glass. water and an energy supplement in my water keeps things towards the middle of the day.

It varies back and forth between the JetBoil or Pocket Rocket w/cup they used to sell. Separate cup for coffee, the long plastic spoon REI sells for like $1.25. Starbucks via, couple hot chocolate packets and you got yourself a mountain mocha!

I used to try and cook real meals, but I've gone back to freeze dried for convenience in both cooking and clean up. I will take tortillas though for some of the meals to make breakfast burritos and/or burritos at night with some of the meals.

Nothing bad about the taste, but it only slightly changes the color and flavor, so if you like heavily dairied coffee this will not get you there. It’s closer to just putting a tiny splash of cream in your coffee.

The main thing you have to be careful with putting protein powder in hot stuff is let it cool somewhat.  If you mix it in freshly boiled water you will not like the results, clumps up and tastes really gross.  While I don’t know for sure I suspect there are two things at work here:
-Proteins denature
-If the powder is flavored then the sugar alcohols can break down.

I use unflavored because I have found the flavored ones are really hard to get to taste good.  On a pure protein powder if it’s hot enough you can barely sip it, it’s cool enough to add the protein powder without issue.

Starbucks vias all the way!  I like my coffee like I like my women......strong and black
