FAQS
FAQS
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.

Black Beans, Plantain and Rice With Garlic Crema Sauce
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.
- Long grain rice and black beans provide a complete protein
- Garlic crema sauce adds a flavor found in no other camp meal

This product has been lab tested with an extended shelf life and will have a minimum of two years to consume until its expiration date.
Black Beans
Protein rich and loaded with fiber and antioxidants, black beans are highly popular ingredient in Latin American cuisine. They have a rich, slightly sweet and nutty flavor that pairs perfectly with rice—finished off with our own garlic cream sauce.
Long Grain White Rice
Mild in flavor, with less starch than shorter varieties, its the perfect foundation for our Cuban Rice Bowl. White rice is known to help stabilize blood-sugar levels, and is high in protein and carbs, and is considered easy to digest.
Plaintain
This starchier, less-sweet cousin to the banana is high in vitamin C, fiber and minerals. They have a rich, buttery flavor perfect for use in savory foods and are a staple in Cuban cuisine.

All You Taste is Lime
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.

Just Wow
This one might be my absolute favorite out of all the ones I've tried, though it's hard to pick just one. I'm beyond grateful for this brand. The ingredients are so healthy, it’s incredibly easy to prepare, and it’s so lightweight—it's truly magical how they’ve managed to achieve all of this.
