Welcome to Eat Well, Backpackers!

Creating this blog is my ultimate decision for how to handle the ongoing interest in how I have prepared food for backpacking over the years. For a long time my thinking was stuck on the idea of a book, but this topic is too dynamic for that rigid of a format. On the other hand, I didn't want to provide all this information completely free of charge.
Therefore, this blog will have advertisements showing. You are free to ignore them or not. They do help me in a small way.
I collect no information from visitors to this page.

See Tips on Dehydrating Yogurt

At Home:
Per serving- spread 6-8 ounces of low-fat yogurt on saran wrap or teflon dehydrator sheets, not more than 1/4 inch thick. Dry until leathery. Don't over-dry or it can begin to caramelize.

Dry fruit however you like- smaller pieces, slices, broken bits of fruit leather. Or use commercially dried fruits.

Combing broken pieces of dried yogurt and dried fruit bits in a snack size baggie.

Package 2 or 3 full rectangles of cinnamon graham crackers in a separate snack size baggie.

I also pack a single use coffee bag and a single serve juice pack with the breakfast.

In Camp:
Just eat in dried form, or you can add water and reconstitute. This works, but the texture of the yogurt never is really smooth. I prefer to just eat it dry.
