Why Make A Parfait While You’re Backpacking?
Instant pudding mixes are a great option for a dessert while backpacking.
They
- lightweight
- inexpensive

Believe it or not several of the Jell-O instant pudding mixes are vegan.
However, they won’t set up with nondairy milk if you follow the directions on the box.
The solution? Just add less liquid.

Woah I never would have thought to make pudding on the trail! And this looks fairly high calorie too, getting enough calories in your mouth in a day can be an issue for long distance hikers. Thanks for sharing!
