Iceaxe,

Melissa and I have been using coffee-shakes for breakfast on hikes for several years now.  Last year on the trail we "mixed" it up from time to time; chocolate, vanilla, strawberry. We also switched back and forth between Carnation and protein mixes like Myoplex, which has both whey and milk protein. Nido whole milk powder is an excellent addition to the mix. Some times we also added a little fiber powder to boost the nutrition. 

You can find small jars of freeze dried espresso on the shelf at larger grocery stores. The finer granules dissolve better than say Folgers, which takes about an hour to really dissolve.

We'll have to try "Pudding Shakes" on the trail this year, it sounds...delicious. 

Jason

> Hi, Everyone!
> I just wondered how many folks like me had a special trail shake recipe. I used shakes instead of coffee in the AM and as a reward for reaching some knarly summit.
> My favorite was an Aqua Fina Bottle 3/4 full of spring water, a packet of Carnation Instant Breakfast, and a little packet of instant Iced Coffee mix. Just shook it up and drank! No stove required so I was ablto be up and on trail before the sun yet still have a treat for the moment the first rays hit the peaks. :)
> I can also recommend Instant Pudding Mix 
> (Banana, Of Course!) in small quantities to spice up the breakfast drink. Just don,t put too much in... Trust me on that one, I ended up with a water bottle full of Banana pudding, which despite the large mouth bottle, was irretrieveable. LOL!
> What was youre Favorite trail drink?
> Cheers my Friends!-Iceaxe
> Sent on the Go with my Peek
