For the protein powder, you can premeasure some powdered milk to go with.  I suggest adding a little sugar to it as the powdered milk seems to be an acquired taste.  For deep backcountry where weight/distance are issues I like to carry ramen noodles.  They are easily prepared in water that is barely warm, so you can get long life from a fuel canister.  If you try beans/rice/other pastas it takes a bit of boiling to get them ready to eat and uses up fuel.  Other than that, lots of bars.  My favorite right now being the Snickers Marathon bars--280 cal with 21 g of protein.

I'm right there with you on that one!  I've been adding sugar to powdered milk for quite some time.  Only way I can stomach the stuff.  With the sugar I get used to it right away.  Plus, I don't have to add suger to my grapenuts (only cereal that doesn't get destroyed in my pack).
He asked, Do you ever give a short simple answer?  I replied, "Nope."

for those that take powdered milk you can actually bring powdered choclate milk to mix with and it doesnt weigh anything and it is actually good for you well so my kids have told me  :chuckle: but it definatly tastes better than that white powerdered milk  :twocents:
my grandpa always said "if it aint broke dont fix it"
