Whats a normal hiking breakfast for you?

[jimandlisas]

Nowadays instead of having coffee and instant oatmeal, the mornings are started off with coffee and high protein type granola/peanut butter breakfast bars, followed by hydrating with plenty of water before hiking. If I don't want to take time to boil the water for coffee I just make it cold, since I use instant coffee. Saves time and fuel.

2/3 cup of my homemade maple, honey and almond Granola...add enough boiling water to make it slightly soupy...and my morning cup of coffee and I am good to go for about 4 hours...

Instant oats, Nido, vanilla protein powder, raw sunflower seeds, some chopper up dried fruit, purified water - in a zip loc

Predominantly it is 4 - 4.5 ounces of Frosted Flakes or other cold cereal. I eat this on-the-go throughout the early morning. If I am leaving a decent resupply it may be bulk granola but once again about the same weight.

I am usually antsy to get on the Trail in the morning, so I just eat a protein bar.

Catapillars, ants, whatever's wandering around camp. Oh, and coffee of course.

I found my new bfast of choice...
Frosted strawberry pop tarts with Justin's honey or maple pnut or almond butter between the two pop tarts. Damn good!

If I am not in a hurry to get hiking then some instant oatmeal and hot tea. If I want to get going then whatever looks good in the food bag, from a granola bar to trail mix to peanut butter and cheese in a half a pita and some cold tea made the night before, while I pack up.

I finally found my ideal hiker breakfast, going to have to find a way to pack a couple of these:

[handlebar]

2 packs carnation instant breakfast shook up in cold water while I pack up between 6 and 7 am or if it's cold made into a hot drink. About an hour and a half later 1 package of pop tarts. In another hour and a half during a break, 2 packs "high protein" oatmeal mixed with cold water in the packages. I have to remember to put a spoon in my pocket.

[Smoky Spoon]

Bowl of oatmeal with peaches follwed by a bowl of cream of wheat with Chia granola with almonds and finished with a cup of perpeteum and protein powder mixed in powdered milk. Really fuels the body....when home substitute the cream of wheat with yogurt adding the chia and almonds granola.

For me it would be a couple bags of cheap oatmeal, a banana, a large pot of hot herbal tea, followed by a couple hand fulls of granola mix with chocolate and about as much water as I could top off the tank with. Then...I start off slow like a turtle and just keep slowly speeding up all day.

What do you do for breakfast on the trail after a few months?

Thanks for the tip on dehydrated fruit at Trader Joe's.

Porridge, or granola, or PB and gorp on a tortilla, or if I'm expecting a lazy day, I might even steam bake some muffins. Coffee is a must. Fresh fruit if it's my first morning out of town, otherwise Trader Joe's has a nice selection of freeze-dried. I'm partial to the mandarin orange sections, reconstituted.

10 MILES BY 10AM is a wonderful breakfast meal on the trail!!!

[shakey_snake]

Peanut butter + bacon tortilla

[Sarcasm the elf]

Am I the only person here that gets near incapacitating, five-alarm heartburn from eating pop-tarts on the trail? Last time I made that mistake was 2010.

[Sarcasm the elf]

As for what I do eat, the answer is not too much in the morning of I am out to really hike. Usually I wake up, am cold and tired, pack up as fast as I can and eat a couple of handfuls of granola or trailmix while I'm hiking. It's not until a couple hours later that I take a break and really eat something.

Whole grain rolled oats (slow burning carb for long lasting energy)
Protein powder (helps muscles build and recover; also keeps you feeling full longer)
Handful of trail mix (dried fruits for quick acting carbs. aka;sugar)
Carnation Instant breakfast (taste, vitamins, minerals, and calories)

I mix all this into a ziplock and consume!

Dehydrated or freeze-dried eggs, with onions (not freeze-dried) and cheese (Feta, if I come across some). Coffee, coffee, coffee. An orange or some grapes.
