    I decided to do a comparison of two popular freeze dried meals. A Peak Refuel 'Chicken Alfredo Pasta' and a Mountain House 'Fettuccine Alfredo with Chicken'. I couldn't tell the difference visually or taste-wise. There were some differences in protein and sodium content, but to me, it's not that much. The big difference was in the pricing. Peak was $14 and Mountain $11.50. That is a difference of $2.50. All's well, and both are very tasty.

    Nice to see you do another long form video John! Interesting to hear MH reformulated and have better tasting options now!

      Thanks Dave. Even though it was long form, it was still a short video. I prefer to keep mine short as possible. Thanks again for noticing.

    We LOVE the Chicken Alfredo Pasta by Peak Refuel. Definitely spendy, though! 😬 Mountain House is great, too! ❤ Thanks for showing the differences of both meals. 😋 Nice campsite you have there. Have a great week, John!

    Have you tried Adventure Well meals? Very good. The Carne Guisada is the best and is more than enough for 2 people. Tastes like fresh real carne asada. Being a tortilla and you are set. I really enjoy them.

    I like Peak Refuel a little better, but that price difference adds up if you're planning on a long trip (or buy the combos). Great video! 👍

    It's hard not to like any chicken alfredo. I always look at sodium amounts in all these. MH has 1440 & PR 820 Mg. The higher protein means more chicken. Great review. 👍
