A couple months ago I bought an MRE (was car camping) just to try it. It came with a vanilla "dairy shake mix". If you are not familiar with them all you do is add cold water shake for a little bit then drink.

I was really surprised how good it was. It kind of made me think... you could bring a couple packs backpacking and pour them over cereal or just bring them to drink.

They are not a runny as milk and not quite as thick as a milkshake but they were good.

I can’t link directly to the item as they have them all listed on one page but they are a little bit more than half way down... You can get a 6 pack (vanilla, strawberry, and chocolate) for around $8. I was going to get some peanut butter packets too (12 packs for around $7).

Also this site sells all the individual components of the MRE meals if you are looking for something specific. Might be old news but I figured some people might want to know
