"Exactly what I want in a breakfast," says one tester, "fast, no mess, great taste. It's like a creamy yogurt drink without a strong yogurt flavor, and you can really taste the fruit." And with 420 calories, 42 grams of carbs, and 35 grams of protein, this really can serve as breakfast. Testers' only wish: even more fruit chunks. Prep couldn't be easier: add cold water and stir. Comes in four flavors: Berry Berry (our fave), Tropic Fusion, Kiwi Berry and Eat a Peach.

Contains a backpacking superfood - milk!
Everyone knows that milk on a daily basis is a good source for the calcium important to building strong bones . . . but it’s even more important when bones have been stressed by a day of hiking or climbing. Milk is also a good source of protein, zinc and vitamin B which all work to keep you going strong at home . . . and especially on the trail.

Author: MountainGirlMacy Had the peach smoothie for breakfast, so delicious -- thickened up great with real chunks of fruit. I recommend bringing along some granola to make it a heartier breakfast, but two thumbs up!
Author: Trevor The Fruit Smoothie made for a great desert and goes very well with the 151 rum that I carry as fuel, antiseptic and "pain killer".
Author: Bob S. This was a nice change of pace. Super easy to make and a nice size portion. Preparation: I call this - smoothie in a bag. Prep could not have been easier. Pour cold water and the smoothie mix into the larger outer bag. Seal it up and shake it vigorously. Shaking makes it kind of frothy. Taste: Simple, flavorful and refreshing. It even had little pieces of peach floating around on top. Originally posted on BackpackGearTest http://www.backpackgeartest.org
Author: Carol C. This smoothie was a free bonus from Packit Gourmet. It has a whopping 40 g of protein per serving. I drank it for breakfast on the Wheeler trip and was running on full for hours. Stirring was not enough to break up the lumps, but a good shaking in the AntiGravityGear Trail Designs Caldera Kitchen 4 cup screw lid container with cozy did the trick. The peaches still had some freeze dried crunch after 20 minutes - I'd prefer them to be softer. The taste was deliciously peachy with a powdered milk taste familiar from other protein drinks I've had. Originally posted on BackpackGearTest http://www.backpackgeartest.org
Author: Thomas V. Stove used: none This was something that I never thought I was going to be able to use or enjoy. It was peach flavored and I loathe peaches and during the Texas summer I had no idea where I would find the cold water that the instructions called for. Guess what? I fooled the hell out of myself on this one. After camping for three days on the beach I was hot, parched, and pretty much tired of drinking beer or water. I broke out the Jump Start Fruit Smoothie, mixed it with melted ice water from an ice chest and let it sit for a few minutes. I cannot even begin to describe how refreshing it was. It was cool. It was fruity. It hit the spot on a scorching morning at Padre Island National Sea Shore. For someone who really does not like peaches, I really liked this drink. My only issue is that the fruit chunks needed to soak and rehydrate a bit longer, but I was thirsty and in search of something cool to drink. I have to give this item a great deal of respect. It was so much better than I imagined and was a welcome relief from plain water. Originally posted on BackpackGearTest http://www.backpackgeartest.org
