My go-to meals for any expedition!

I have done numerous expeditions in extreme environments over the last 15 years, including most recently a solo ski expedition to the South Pole that lasted almost 60 days.

Over the expeditions, I have tried various different types of camping food, though the meals from Expedition Foods are undoubtedly for me the best and tastiest, and they really have a great range of different flavours that help make every day on the journey different. The quality is consistently high across each of the different meals. It's so good having the 1,000kcal options for dinners and breakfasts, which is really the level you need for these meals on such journeys, and then lower calorie options for mid-day snacks.

Am planning a return to Antarctica in 2027, with a crossing of the continent that will be around 100 days, though will be doing plenty of smaller expeditions in Norway and Greenland prior to this. I will undoubtedly be stocking up on the Expedition Foods meals for each of the journeys - looking forward to them all!!

Highly recommend

Used Expedition Foods 1000kcal Spaghetti Carbonara during the Marathon des Sables – 250km across the Southern Sahara. Tasted really great, easy to prepare (I used cold water), and kept me fuelled every day. Brilliant product for extreme endurance events. Highly recommended – I’ll be using them again!

I am a lifetime convert!

I am a lifetime convert to Expedition Foods! When planning the Meili-II Analogue Space mission, there was never any doubt about who we would turn to. EF supplied the previous mission, and the ability to rest easy knowing that we were getting great nutrition and enough kcals every day was invaluable. The food tastes amazing, which is also a plus when you’re out in extreme conditions for two weeks!

Mike @ Space Health Research

P.s. my favorite is combining the cheeses eggs and the chicken fajita packs into a mega burrito bowl!

Chocolate pudding

I had the spaghetti carbonara on a recent bike packing trip in Scotland and it was really good as usual but I also tried the chocolate pudding and have to say it was incredible, so tasty and just what I needed after a long wet day in the saddle.

What a wild weather treat!

Wow! Not only did my Thai green curry taste lovely there was a very satisfying filling portion. Being freeze dried means it’s way more healthy and nutritious than all the cheaper ready meals I’ve ever bought and it’s not UPF. You certainly get what you pay for and if you can afford it these are the ones I’d recommend.

I've returned after a few years... wow, why did I stop!

I used to use Expedition Food meals when I was doing a lot of Himalayan expeditions. As someone who is dairy free, I've struggled to find tasty nutritious meals which have clearly stated what was in them.

Due to a change in my work circumstances in recent years, I've sadly not been doing many (only 1 trip in the last 5 years) high altitude trips so I'd stopped using them.

In recent years I have still been doing a lot of camping (particularly on Mountain Leader training and assessment courses) but I'd been experimenting with fresh food. However in bad weather this isn't always practical so I thought I'd try Expedition Food meals again...

Wow, why did I stop! Light, tasty and easy to cook, I am also really impressed with the double tear offs. You can now prepare and then shorten the packaging to make eating easier.

I'm definitely going to use again.

Excellent Service from Expedition Foods

Great service from Expedition Foods. Delivery was shorter than outlined on order, great delivery company as you could leave a note to leave at the front door vs needing to be at home.
I ordered 4 packs of meals accidentally. Sent Customer service a email and with 24hrs I had a friendly and helpful response to help me on how to return my order. Very good customer service! Thank-you Expedition Foods.
