Our Verdict
Staff here at UOG have found Bla Band's meals pretty tasty and easy to prepare. All you have to do is simply fill the packet up to the indicated level with hot or cold water, stir, wait a little and your ready to go! Not all food brands feature a water level indicator but we prefer they did as they are incredibly helpful.
The packaging is made from Flextrus Transofoil, which is both fully recyclable as a plastic and is designed in such a way to act as an excellent insulator, helping keep your meal hotter for longer.
There's something for everyone as Bla Band’s meals cater for people with special dietary requirements. Some of the meals are suitable for vegetarians, those with lactose intolerance and people who need their food to be gluten free.

| STAFF'S TASTE TEST - “Blå Band’s Rice with Asparagus & Chicken combines tender chicken with green asparagus and rice for a pleasantly balanced, mild meal on the trail. The asparagus flavour is subtle enough to appeal even to those who don’t usually enjoy it, and the dish rehydrates well, maintaining a satisfying texture. While a touch more salt could enhance the flavour, it remains a solid and nutritious option for varied palates.” |
