Awesome food! Really well worth it
Food was great and super tasty. Just a couple of things that the group found annoying that seem easy enough to improve: If you could somehow put the moisture/O2 sachet thingy on adhesive so it doesn't fall into the food that would be great. We found that it was easily forgotten to be removed and that it was annoying to have to dig around in our food to fish it out. And then if there were a way to have easier to measure amounts of water. I doubt it makes much of a difference being precise, but on hikes measuring odd numbers such as 325ml is rather hard. Otherwise a system of filling to the line would be great.
Hearty meal on a cold evening! Great taste and texture.
We loved the meals! Great taste and so convenient that they can be prepared in the bag.
I’ve been using Forever Fresh Food on proper bikepacking trips, not just short weekends. First was Malawi. Long days on the bike, limited food options once you’re off the main routes, and you need something you can rely on. These just worked. Simple, consistent, and exactly what you want at the end of a ride. Then into Lesotho on Rocky’s Ride. High altitude, big days, and weight matters. At one point I was running low on fuel and had to cold soak a meal instead of cooking it. Sat in the rain, shared it with Rocky, my Jack Russell, and it still did the job. Not ideal conditions, but that’s real bikepacking, and it held up. Also used them in Gamkaskloof (Die Hel). Remote, committing riding, and again, you want something reliable when you roll in properly finished for the day. No issues at all. What I like: Lightweight and easy to carry on the bike Simple prep, even when things don’t go to plan Good portions after a long day Consistent across very different environments When you’re bikepacking, especially with a dog and a full setup, food needs to be one less thing to think about. These just work.
I had the best meal amongst the whole group, I think.
I love Forever Fresh here in Ethiopia where Im training coffee growing communities in the rural Herenna forest.
This was one of the most delicious Forever Fresh meals Ive had in Ethiopia while training.
I train in rural Ethiopia. The food here is very unhygienicly prepared. On a trip last year I contracted amoebic dissentry so now I take my own food. My staple daily meal is Forever Fresh. It is fantastc, so light, and so easy to prepare. I have had the whole range and love them all.
The food takes a bit longer to hydrate than indicated on the packaging and the peas were hard, but overall very tasty and convenient for a long hike.
Forever Fresh meals are immaculate. Minimal admin, it made for an ultra lightweight fuel, minimal calories and I got to max out on my protein. I enjoyed the soy chicken stir fry noodles and chicken lasagne. By far the best option for a multi-day strenuous hike. If you carry light, you get to walk easy! The sealed packaging also makes for the perfect compressive rubbish container. And above all else I got to still enjoy a warm delicacy before bed! Here’s to big wins and innovative hiking brands helping us win.
Great food and lightweight…this I knew from adventure racing…but it was also the perfect way to eat during our Otter hike. Bought the 90 meal pack, dished them out between the 12 person group…it couldn’t have been easier!
We went on a 12 day self drive camping safari through Tanzania - with the majority of the time spent in the Serengeti. The Forever Fresh Adventure pack (30 meals) was perfect for our family of 5.. especially when arriving in open camps in the dark and needing to quickly make supper! The meals are absolutely delicious, we could not believe it- home made food in the bush in an instant! We can't even pick favourites as they were all superb- although there was a fight over the last butter chicken curry! These meals are now my go-to for camping and I will be recommending to everyone. Thank you!
I just walked the Whale Trail. I love your meals. This my third time I eating Forever Fresh.
Quick, easy and tasty meals ideal for traveling and hiking.
Very delicious, my girlfriend was very sceptical but was converted after her first bite, tasted fresh and flavourful. Made our anniversary dinner under the stars next level.
Mild and Creamy Butter Chicken with Basmati Rice
Store owner replied: Hi Sandra Thank you so much for your kind words - what a beautiful story. Thank you for sharing with us and Happy Anniversary!
Awesome products 👍
It is so comforting to know after a long day of hiking you can sit down and have a good tasting meal!
Selection of awesome tasty meals for dinner, ultra-light weight.
Best granite kitchen counters anywhere! Day 1 of Fish, Pool in the reeds.
Light weight and ideal for multi day trips - I use them on all my guided trips into the Drakensberg, especially the Northern Traverse and the Giants Cup Trail.
The best trail food for a hungry hiker! Thank you!
Enjoying my Butter Chicken in Namibia during the Expedition Africa race :) Life is goooood!
My Japanese ladies just loving all the varieties that Forever Fresh has to offer. ##fishrivercanyon
They're slept in the sand that night but all smiles as they knew what tasty treat was coming up for dinner. #fishrivercanyon
Boerewors Potjie is one of my favourite meals. Perfect ending to a tough day in the Fish River Canyon!
The lasagne was lovely, these meals are so lightweight, convenient and tasty. The lasagne unfortunately was very saucy and the poeces crumbled a bit. Also it is hard to get all the pasta pieces fully hydrated. But overall it was great to have some lasagne on the mountain!
We went on the Giants cup hiking trail and it was awesome to just boil water and enjoy a meal that was as good as a home cooked meal!!! Would not do a hike without forever fresh again!!!❤️

Store owner replied: Thank you for the amazing review - we are so glad you "felt" at home while eating. Nothing better than the feeling of a homecooked meal for comfort at the end of a long day of hiking!

Good day We have just had the most awesome experience of hiking the Canyon with friends and family. Such a life changing and challenging experience. Here are a few photos of our delicious dinners. We were not the only ones enjoying the nutritious meals. None of us were hungry after our hearty dinners! Many thanks for the food. If we ever extend ourselves again, we will stock up on your meals again.
Hungrey Otter trailers enjoyed the Aubergine meal!
Spicy Lentil and Aubergine Vegetable Moussaka
Store owner replied: hi Carol, we are so glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for your review
Lightweight, delicious and really easy to prepare, no bowl needed. I measured the exact quantity of water needed and with permanent marker made a line on my mug at home before the trip. Poured the boiling water in and for extra warmth for myself, put it in my sleeping bag while I waited. I was on a 3 day hike to Tele Falls in Eastern Cape.
Roasted Vegetable & Coconut Curry with Basmati Rice
Store owner replied: Hi Vivien! Thank you so much for your review and for that awesome tip! Im sure that is going to be very helpful to other adventurers!
Did a "tasting menu" of the Tastes of Italy box, in anticipation of our Otter hike. Absolutely mind-blowing that something freeze dried can taste that good. Went and bought a combination of meals and now ready for our hike and eating like kings and queens as a reward for all the steps.
TASTES OF ITALY | 5-MEAL ADVENTURE PACK (NEW 2023 VERSION)
Store owner replied: Good afternoon Marde and team! Thank you so much for your review and kind words. We are so glad you enjoyed the meals and hope you have an epic adventure!
So delicious! And very convenient! Just poured boiling water in, zipped up and ate from the pouch. Friends were jealous! This was in the shelter three quarters of the way up Towerkop.
Spicy Lentil and Aubergine Vegetable Moussaka
Store owner replied: Thank you so much for your review Vivien! So glad you enjoyed and hope you had an awesome adventure!
Great tasting meal that weighs very little and hydrates into enough for a hungry hiker. I did have to add a touch of salt turning it into a fragrant, tasty supper time meal and the envy of everyone in the group wanting a taste.
ESSENTIAL | 30-MEAL ADVENTURE PACK
Store owner replied: Hi Deon! Thank you so much for your review and feedback. It is greatly appreciated!
A familiar classic, with some local flair. I love the richness that the ostrich meat brings to the meal.
Heart, wholesome and comforting. The entire vegetarian and vegan range is bursting with flavour!
I was very fortunate recently, to eat and fully enjoy a complete and very tasty main meal whilst out in the bundu. I was hiking in a remote area and did not want to be burdened with excess weight in my gear and I packed a FOREVER FRESH value pack that was described as classic Tomato Lamb Stew. I read on the handy very light pack, which measured about 150mm by 200mm., that you simply just add 340 ml of boiling water, reseal, then re open and eat after just 12 minutes. I did all this so easily and then really enjoyed a very tasty, fulfilling and complete meal from one packet. I have never before had such a complete and tasty meal prepared in such a short time and that was so light to carry. I shall now look forward to carrying and enjoying the other flavours in their range of main meals. This is important to me as I do not want to be burdened with the clutter of preparing a full and nutritious meal when enjoying the rigours of hiking and being out in the wild Ron White, experienced hiker
A restaurant quality korma! Convenient, healthy, comfort food at its finest, perfect for a chilly night under the stars. Was pleasantly surprised at how big the portion was, you could definitely share but you will probably want to keep it all for yourself.
