>>1856806>Knorr sides are vegetarianRight off the bat your limited to tuna and maybe chicken, the latter limiting the cal/ounce ratio and only coming in pretty large portions. You could try sausage or pepperoni added to a Knorr side, but it’s not nearly as good as freeze dried beef
>some require butter or milkYou can use olive oil or Nito, but this is a matter of experimentation at home (getting proportions right). Not that big of a deal.
>freeze dried meals are packed in Mylar bagsPretty big bonus, and a great convenience. The alternative is cleaning your pot or cooking in a freezer bag (which will require a koozie).
I don’t take freeze dried, as I find them a little too expensive for what they are, but it’s not a matter of “lol it’s the same thing as this $2 rice I buy from Walmart.” The convenience is what people pay for, but it’s not worth it for me.
