Holy calories! Is that a typo?
Nope, it's true—540 cals per serving and a whopping 1,070 cals in an entire double serving. If you're embarking on a long-distance hike, or just burning a ton of calories, look no further. This is our highest calorie entrée.
Is this meal spicy?
Not so much hot, as it is flavorful. Poblano, black pepper and cumin come together to create big, bold flavors with a balanced spice. If spicy-hot just isn't your thing, have no fear! This is a mild dish.

Cuban food to go? You bet. Big, bold flavors with a balanced spice take this rice bowl to new heights. The combination of rice and beans creates a complete protein—providing you with all the amino acids you need to go that extra mile. While this meal is vegetarian, even the hungriest of carnivores will appreciate the 15g of protein per serving, or 30g if you prefer a double serving. Garlic crema sauce and plantains create unique flavors you’ll find in no other camp meal.

Now I'm good to go on these long trails! It's good to know that, at least for dinner, I have real food with good nutrition. Also, all the meals I buy can be cold-soaked, it just depends how long. I usually carry them around with me four about 2 hours before I eat them.
We used the double pack for 4 big burritos. So good. Put super boiling water (reduced to 1.5 cups water for thicker consistency) and let it sit for 18 minutes. Perfect doneness (even with 1 less cup water than directions) and consistency for burritos.
Really enjoyed the Cuban Rice Bowl during a trip into the BWCA. Easy to prepare, tasty, and hearty!
This is some of the best rice I've had.
Lime is the last ingredient, but it literally tastes like the ONLY ingredient. As another reviewer had mentioned, the lime overpowers everything. I couldn’t even taste the beans or garlic crema. The curry is still my #1.
