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 the 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.
I enjoyed the cuban rice bowl. I had good flavor and i liked the plantains.
This meal was delicious, especially when I waited just a little longer than the time suggested for the flavors to meld and the beans to soften.
Loved the rice and beans and plantains but way too spicy for me and left me feeling like a dragon. I can appreciate that spice level is objective so maybe I’m just sensitive :)
I was looking for something that was around 1,000 calories for my bikepacking trip. Originally chose this based on the calories but as soon as I heated up on the trip I was surprised by how good it tasted. It was filling and spicy (might be too spicy for some).
After the trip, I had a few pouches left over so when my wife was out of town I ended up heating them up for dinner. Thought maybe my hunger on the trip made the food taste better but when I had it under normal circumstances, I was still amazed at how good it tasted. Looking forward to getting some more. I even thought of trying other flavors but for now, I will stick with what I know.
The Cuban rice bowl is my favorite so far!
