The portion is quite large, and after preparation it tastes like homemade food, not like a typical instant product. The packaging is durable and practical – you can eat straight from it. For a freeze-dried meal, it is filling and gives you energy. It's a good option for a quick meal while travelling, though the price could be a bit lower.

Freeze-drying
Freeze-drying is a technique used to dehydrate food under vacuum at extremely low temperatures (-50°C). This method allows the food to maintain its complete nutritional and caloric content, providing a balanced meal ideal for rigorous physical activities. It performs exceptionally well during high-altitude expeditions, sailing adventures, both winter and summer travel, and in extreme conditions. Travellers, polar explorers, and athletes frequently choose this option for various expeditions and camps.

This is a very successful millet porridge with an interesting combination of coconut, raspberries and aronia. It tastes pleasant, and the fruity additions go very well with the coconut base. A portion like this works well as a quick meal while travelling, on the trail, or when normal cooking is not possible.

This dessert is really delicious! It's hard to tell that it's a freeze-dried product from a sachet. I really appreciate Lyofood meals, and this dessert is excellent.
-
It tastes quite good, although it's worth adding some spices. In my opinion, it's also a bit not fatty enough. The portion is rather small, so it's better as a variety. It would be hard to eat this regularly to get full, but as an addition it's suitable.
-
Great CHICKEN for on the go. Quick to prepare, tasty and filling. What more could you want? It tastes like a regular meal, which is unfortunately often lacking in this type of product. You can eat it straight from the packaging, which is very convenient. I recommend this product.

The freeze-dried soup turned out to be excellent. We took it on a trip to Śnieżne Kotły and it performed brilliantly. The children eagerly ate everything, which speaks for its quality. Preparation is easy and quick, and the taste is very good. It is light, so it is perfect for the mountains. We will definitely buy it again.

Great freeze-dried soup. We took it on an expedition to Śnieżne Kotły and it performed excellently. The children were delighted and ate everything with appetite, which is a great recommendation in itself. Preparation is extremely simple and quick, and the taste is very good. It is light and excellent for mountain trips. We will definitely buy it again.

The Five Flavours Chicken tastes really good for a freeze-dried meal – the quality is excellent. The portion is filling, it's very easy and quick to prepare, which is great for trips and camping. The parcel arrived quickly and the product received was exactly as described.

The porridge has an excellent composition and tastes better than most similar products. It's prepared in no time, is nutritious, and perfect for travelling or a quick breakfast. The order was fulfilled quickly, and the product matched the description entirely.
-
You can have a proper meal, the food is tasty, and preparation is quick and hassle-free. You don't need to look for a shop or restaurant to have a ready meal. A great choice for a cycling trip with panniers!
-
Successful texture: Unlike many instant soups that are too watery, the rice gives a satisfying consistency that turns this broth into a real little meal. Balance of flavours: The acidity of the tomato is perfectly balanced by the sweetness of the red pepper. The blend remains easy to digest and is not overloaded with salt. Practicality: Rehydration is quick (about 5 to 8 minutes). The sachet is sturdy and allows you to eat directly from it, which saves considerable weight and washing up.
-
Tasty food for a trip, although it could use a bit more seasoning if you have salt and pepper at hand. The packaging is durable, and the water fill markings are clear, which reduces the risk of damage while carrying it in a backpack.
-
It tastes really good and gives a feeling of fullness. The packaging is sturdy, so there’s no need to worry about it being damaged while mixing with water. The only downside is the small corners where, despite vigorous mixing, dry freeze-dried bits still remain, and because of this, the pasta sometimes doesn’t soak up the water as it should.

LYOFOOD's millet porridge is a tasty and light option for a quick breakfast away from home. It stands out for its natural and organic ingredients – mainly millet groats, coconut drink, raspberries and chokeberry. The advantage of this dish is its sweet, fruity flavour, which is perfect to start the day, and it’s very easy to prepare – just pour boiling water over and wait a short while. One portion contains about 341 kcal, which provides a solid boost of energy at a low weight. It’s perfect for trekking, camping or trips – a light and nutritious dish without unnecessary additives.

The dish was very tasty and well composed, standing out for its high quality for this type of freeze-dried food. The pork loin with dill from LYOFOOD has a mild, homely flavour, and the sauce is well seasoned, making it reminiscent of a traditional meal rather than ordinary hiking food. A big advantage is its high calorie content (383 kcal) and the large portion once water is added – around 500 g, which makes the meal truly filling. The ingredients list is free from unnecessary preservatives and quick to prepare (just hot water and a few minutes), making it excellent for trekking, camping, or longer trips.
