There are a number of noodle and rice flavors, ranging from macaroni and cheese to Cajun style rice. Get clever with your own add-in ideas and don’t waste money on those expensive freeze dried meals at outfitter stores. All of the Lipton Sidekick meals cook in seven minutes.

Image: Pedialyte Pedialyte
It has more electrolytes than Gatorade and less sugar! It sounds great until you read the ingredients and see that it contains Sucrolose (otherwise sold as Splenda). This artificial sweetener is created by chlorinating regular table sugar, which by doing so reduces the calories. Who cares!! The stuff tastes like crap. Pedialyte is typically used to re-hydrate little kids who suffer from vomiting or have the runs, which is ironic since Sucrolose causes diarrhea (among other unsavory side effects) in lab animals. Sucrolose has only been on the market since 1976 and only on the American market since 1998, which means nobody knows much about its long term effects so don’t forget how excited everyone was about saccharine when it was first introduced. Face it, the more calories the better during outdoor adventures and the bottom line is that even if this stuff is the most effective isotonic sports drink, it still tastes disgusting!
