ProView – Good To-Go Breakfast Hash Review

We had four Outdoor Prolink Pros test four different Good To-Go meals, and each flavor got its own review. See below for the review of Breakfast Hash and the three other flavors below!

• Pasta Marinara
• Pad Thai
• Mushroom Risotto

Flavor

Sam Kilburn

I loved the flavor of Good To-Go’s breakfast hash. The flavor combinations in this meal are some of the very best I’ve ever had – backpacking meals or not. Butternut squash, potato, carrot, onion, feta cheese, olive oil and rosemary? I can’t believe Good To-Go managed to pack all that (and more!) into a dehydrated backpacking meal. Excellent as a stand-alone meal, or add to eggs or toast for some extra calories. 

Brenna Fletcher

I love the flavor from the seasonings, but it could use more feta flavor and less carrot. It tastes more like dinner than breakfast. It also tastes better in tortillas and would probably be good with eggs.

Bryson Webb

Flavor was not as I was expecting, but in a good way. I’m so used to an egg scramble kind of breakfast, but this was far from it. Full on vegetable flavor with lots of spices. Very good, but a packet of salsa might have been what this meal needed to make it shine. 

Heather Smith

Tastes just like Thanksgiving! The savory notes create a delightful morning treat, especially when wrapped in a tortilla.

Rehydration

Sam Kilburn

Rehydrated well after the allotted time. Directions are well-written and easy to follow. It takes fifteen minutes of waiting for the breakfast hash to be ready, which is a great time to sip on morning coffee or get camp packed up. 

Brenna Fletcher

It definitely needed more time but I was at high altitude so I should have waited longer.

Bryson Webb

Rehydration was rough! I used more water than suggested and added more during the rehydration time, yet it still was not fully rehydrated. I used almost double what they asked for. I think they need to check their measurements…

Heather Smith

At a higher elevation, it needed a bit more water and five extra minutes.

Ease of Use

Sam Kilburn

As simple as it comes. The directions are clear and easy to follow. I could see some folks wanting an exact volume of boiling water to add instead of “a little more than one cup”, but in my experience estimations are easier when camping. 

Brenna Fletcher

Preparing this was super easy, just add boiling water! I ate some on its own and then wrapped some in a tortilla which was even better.

Bryson Webb

The breakfast scramble was easy to rehydrate once I started adding more water to it. Easy to mix. Easy to eat. 

Heather Smith

 Preparing it is a breeze – just add hot water and wait.

Nutritional Value

Sam Kilburn

The breakfast hash has the most impressive ingredient list I’ve ever seen on a backpacking meal. As you can expect, the nutritional value is high on this morning meal. High in potassium and fiber, this will set you on track for a full day of hiking, fishing, biking, or other adventure. As with all of Good To-Go’s meals, I think the portioning is on the small side, but the 2-serving option is always available. 

Brenna Fletcher

I am not a nutritionist but I do pay attention to the nutrition of the foods I eat. I would like for the breakfast hash to have more protein to start off the day. It seems like a lot of sodium, but I appreciate the calcium, iron, and potassium.

Bryson Webb

With almost everything in here being a vegetable, this was a very healthy breakfast. The only item that made this not vegan is the feta cheese. 

Heather Smith

Packed with 11 grams of protein and 360 calories, it’s a substantial breakfast.

Quality

Sam Kilburn

Overall extremely good. High quality ingredients, easy to use, packs down small, and great taste. I’ll absolutely be purchasing more of these.

Brenna Fletcher

I love the natural ingredients without preservatives!

Bryson Webb

Quality was great once everything rehydrated with extra water. I also see this as a very simple meal that could be made and dried at home for much cheaper. 

Heather Smith

Crafted from carefully chosen ingredients, like butternut squash, spinach, and rosemary, it oozes quality.

Packaging Durability/Packability

Sam Kilburn

The packaging on Good To-Go’s meals is extremely good. I’ve put the packaging through the wringer on some multi-week trips, to the point where the label has begun to wear off. However, the structure remained intact and waterproof, and the meal rehydrated with no issues. The packages have some air in them at times, but it’s unclear if that’s because I live at elevation in Colorado. 

Brenna Fletcher

These meals are very durable and were not damaged at all in my pack. I love the designs and colors and especially the humorous writing, too. I could probably go for a smaller serving in a smaller package.

Bryson Webb

The packaging was very deep for how little food was in all of these. I would suggest using a long spoon to eat these with. Ones used for milkshakes work well. 

Heather Smith

The packaging is compact and robust, perfect for your adventures.
