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.

Green Scrambler Mix


Hot Meal

Moderately lightweight, very quick to prepare, good for short trips or the first morning of a longer trip. This would also be great for base camp.

I was given a container of Super Greens Scrambler made by Mountain Standard. If I had purchased it, the cost is $4 or more. Also, the container is large. Both of these are ridiculous for what you get. Make your own!

This is what you get in that container! Just dry some Kale, Spinach and Parsley (or buy dried parsley flakes)

See How to Dry Herbs

Cooking before packaging - none
Dehydrate before packaging - the greens
Cooking in camp - pan, spoon or spatula and a small amount of oil/butter/margarine

At Home:
This recipe is 1 main dish serving- multiply by how many you need

Package in a baggie, sandwich to quart size, depending on how many you are feeding:

2 T. dried kale flakes
2 T. dried spinach flakes
1 T. dried parsley flakes
1/2 T. dried onion bits
1/4 t salt
pepper
a dash of turmeric
a dash of chili pepper if you like things spicy!
1 t. dry milk

Package separately- in a plastic egg holder, or padded in paper towel in a hard-sided container: 2 eggs per person, and a small bit of some sort of oil for frying the eggs.

Add a small slip of paper with the in-camp directions. You will thank yourself later.

In Camp:
1. Soak the herb mix in about a quarter cup of water per serving until reconstituted, about 5 minutes. Add more water if desired.
2. Break the eggs into the plastic bag with the soaked greens and squish until mixed thoroughly.
3. Heat the oil/margarine in a pan, add the mixed eggs and greens and scramble until cooked.

Experiment with other spices or other herbs!
