CUBAN COCONUT RICE & BLACK BEANS (VEGAN) 2P

Pack this when the group has a vegan in it and nobody wants to eat differently. Coconut rice and black beans with freeze-dried banana, onion and garlic lands sweet and savory at once, and it brings 24 grams of protein without any dairy, gluten, nuts or soy. Backpacker's Pantry lists no allergens at all. It rehydrates in the pouch with boiling water, and at nearly six ounces it is a full dinner for two after a day on the Oregon coast.
