Is this review too honest: The best high nutrition ultralight hiking food? Radix backpacking food 

I was lucky enough to visit their factory when I was in New Zealand. It quickly became evident how passionate they are about nutrition and not adding in 'stabiliser this' and 'filler that' Mass respect for Radix!! :)

I love how your friend called it dinner muesli haha! I agree, they’re perfect for getting the calories you need on a hike.. but having those same textures multiple days in a row can be a little rough! It is worth it in the end must admit!

Excellent review. I do also wish they did a couple of meat options but I have found that I mostly don't miss the meat content with Radix, especially since some other brands use soy extender for their meat which gives it a foam-like quality. For meals with meat I tend to go for Campers Pantry as they achieve good textured meat. Something that was pointed out to me is that the 800s have a much higher fat content than the 400s and are not just 400 x 2. They are noticeably fattier tasting, though with a curry or pesto that is perfectly acceptable given both dishes are usually quite high in fat anyway. To me the breakfasts have been the biggest revelation as I didn't believe a no-cook breakfast solution that ticked all my boxes existed. Having the choice of 400s for the easier days and 800s for those long and strenuous ones is also a major reason it is now my go-to breakfast on the trail.

Great video. As a coeliac I usually dry my own food, however in New Zealand used Radix for 8 nights. Like the Indian curry and Pesto (400cal) Found they were better when I added a small serve of rice. For me, all the breakfasts were too sweet for my palate.

Great review kate, I highly rate Radix as i find other brands too sweet for my liking. I just add some home made jerky to the mix and that works a treat.

I do like the Radix range of meals, as I can often find they don't include the ingredients that I either have an allergy or sensitivity to. I especially like their breakfasts, and I loved the Grass fed lamb with Rosemary, perhaps that one is not available any more?? Cheers

Heard about Radix from you years ago and got one for an overnight hike. Was a brilliant meal and would definitely stick with them on future hikes!

Good honest review Kate and a treat to get a few videos in quick succession. I bought some Radix on your recommendation for my last walk, but didn't end up taking it as it felt OTT for an overnighter. Had bratwurst and sauerkraut hot dogs instead! Oh well, the Radix will keep. And as you say their weight efficiency and complete nutrition would be ideal for longer, harder trips.

Good on you Kate, love your videos.

Yes, but the carrots... I can taste the carrots in every meal (thankfully not the brekkies) and i was horrified but not surprised to see where they sit on the ingredients list - i hate carrots 🤮
