Agree w other comments w no sauce or flavor. QA issue? Was edible but def missing sauce or flavor.

I am doing some taste testing before I use them for a remote fly fishing trip I am going on soon. I have found with most trail meals I have to use a bit more water than stated in the directions so I used 1.5 C of water for the three bean chili. at first it was a bit dry and needed salt. I added a bit of sea salt and used ~ 3tblsp of heavy cream. after that, I could not stop eating it!! I will take some of the coffee half and half that do not need refrigeration and add them to it everytime. I may try that trick on some of the other meals as well. very filling and can see enjoying it after a hard day of hiking and fishing.
Ty T.
Great, tasty and simple.
Roger M.
Love the chil mac its great!
Moto F.
My wife and I both chose this meal because we don't eat meat. It was literally just a pouch of macaroni and some beans that stayed rather dry despite extra soak time. There was neither any flavoring nor sauce present. Maybe a manufacturing error?
Mark
Meals look great!

Thanks

The sauce was very watery, and not very flavorful. I use very hot water from an electric kettle, approximately 212 degrees. I let is sit for 7.5 minutes, stirred it and resealed, waited another 7.5 minutes and the contents was still dry and course, accept the pasta.
So yeah not working for me. This is the second time I have tried this product and in my experience it has not improved. Sorry :-(
Michael N.
There was no sauce in the meal, some sort of manufacturing error? I emailed them twice and got no response. This doesn’t taste very good without the sauce.

In preparation of my upcoming S. African Walking Safari, my granddaughter and I tried the Mac & Cheese in a mock camping situation. We boiled water in the Sterno Stove I'll be carrying, and then hydrated our meal - it was delicious! We added a little more water than the directions suggested, and that made the hydration faster. She used to spork, which worked more effectively than the plastic spoon I used. The Net-Net: Peak Refuel seems to be exactly what I need for my upcoming carry-everything-I-need 6 day/5 nite hike in Kruger National Park - and not a bad idea to cook & eat one before you go off on your next adventure!

Came with just beans and Mac, no chili, no spices. I am on the pacific crest trail and have nothing else to eat. Back to mountain house on my next resupply.
Teri S.
My husband and I are both vegan, and this is one of our favorite quick prep meals for when we are on road trips or camping. The flavor is delicious, the textures are great, and it's a hearty meal for those days you've been lugging gear and need something to recharge you. Absolutely recommend!
David R.
There was no sweet chili sauce or taste to the entree. The product should be improved or replaced.

I hiked 2,200 miles this past summer, completing the Appalachian Trail and the 3 bean chili mac was one of the best meals I had on trail. I'm vegan so it's hard to find any meals that work for me but omg, I could've eaten this every day

Three Bean Chili Mac - 3.5/5.0 - "C-"
This is one of their vegetarian series. Initially I agreed with the net reviews at a 3.5, but after finishing the bowl and several more not fully hydrated beans, I am going with a 3.0. My wife gave it a 4.0 as she thinks it would make a usable base. So altogether this would be a 3.5!! The flavor is fairly bland and could use salt and pepper, and or hot sauce or parmesan. So altogether it could be a 3.5. It was easy to digest with slight stomach upset, so that later it could be a bean tent warmer. Would be better with hamburger meat! Also this did not make enough for two people. Fair value for price vs. Calories for survival or backpacking!!!!
Connie B.
Great flavor and filling. One of my favorites
Charles S.
Great ratio of Mac to chilly
Roy J.
Good, thank u.
James C.
Great meatless alternative. Loved the sauce. Not your typical “chili”.
Robert K.
Thank you so much. Very delicious.
Brandon L.
Delicious, great for any adventure!
Stephen S.
So I moved to a new area that has a big camping and hiking culture. I always wanted to get MREs or dehydrated food, but the vegan options are always lacking. I stumbled across this brand at a local ACE hardware and was pleasantly happy with the result. As a big guy the 610 calorie meal was pretty awesome. I definitely want to get more and will also get the other two listed vegan options. Thank you and I hope you can develop new vegan options.
Len F.
Was like a home cooked meal
Steven J.
Had mine with sirloin steak...excellent Combo !!!
Cosette R.
Rehydrates well with a little extra water, and tastes warm and comforting. The chili flavor is vague and unassuming, but in a way that's nice when you want something with a simpler flavor profile to break up the other meals you've brought.
Joe P.
Surprisingly delicious! I usually sprinkle in a small amount of chili and cumin powder. Also a dollop of sour cream and Mexican 4 cheese blend is great on top.
Claude
Great!
Janine
Terrible big disappointment, sorry true
William

Peak refueling is incredible and that one is my favorite!!
Connie B.
Tried it when we went camping as a quick meal. Have to say it was good and filling for 2 people. I recommend this.
Nicholas
Taste was fine
Jon
They can do better. Needs more sauce
Wm
Great flavor, add a little extra water though as the beans take a bit to rehydrate.
David E.
Amazing taste!
Merlin F.
Great on the hunt meals in a hurry.
Connie B.
Took with us camping and tried it. Very good and filling.
David E.
I've purchased almost every meal on their menu and I'm amazed how great these taste. The 3 bean chili mac is my favorite. I hope they bring back the beef chili mac though. the shelflife on these meals blows my mind! I give them an A++

Honestly I haven't had a good vegan freeze dried meal before this. The few I have tried have just been alright, Peak's vegan meals however are amazing, there are only two downsides I see.
1.) It's a relatively small meal, even smaller if you follow the serving size recommendation, however it is very filling.
2.) It's hard to pic between the 3 Bean Chili Mac and the Butternut Dal Bhat, both are great.
I plan on stocking up on these and definitely getting one of each for my vegan friend to try.
Joseph S.
This was the best meal I had during my weekend backpacking trip. It was very flavorful and very easy on my stomach.
Neil B.
This is the best vegan meal in the outdoor market. Incredibly hearty and tasty!
Tori
I'm a vegetarian and a big foodie, so I wasn't sure how a freeze dried vegetarian meal would taste - WOW! This is so hearty and rich in flavor. The sweetness of the corn with the hint of spicy from the chili is so perfect. This will be my go-to meal when I'm outside (and maybe inside!). The best option on the market by far.
