Lyo offer expedition meals using natural, fresh ingredients and no preservatives or artificial additives. They stand out from the crowd with unique recipes, the use of chunky ingredients that result in more natural, home style meals.
LYO says
Enjoy the Indian taste of chicken breast marinated in yoghurt and aromatic Indian spices. The coconut sauce gives a creamy touch to the meal and even more valuable nutritions. Rich in good calories, made of healthy ingredients, perfectly balanced. Watch out! You can get addicted to it!
We are cooking before freeze-drying. In our pouches there are no artificial additives, no extra sugar, no palm oil and no preservatives! Our meals are made from 100% natural ingredients and some of them are growing on our own fields.
Our Verdict
LYO have tried to take a different route with their meals focussing on natural, fresh ingredients and no preservatives or artificial additives. They proudly cultivate some of the fruits and herbs on their own fields. Other fruits and herbs as well as vegetables come from farmers known to them personally. All ingredients are carefully verified to ensure that their products meet the highest quality standards.
The majority of the meals use interesting combinations of natural ingredients with chunky vegetables, authentic flavours and more of a home cooked approach. We’ve been lucky enough to test a variety of them and have always been impressed with the end results. Generally, we appreciated the good combinations of flavour, texture and portion size.
The fill line for adding water to the packs is novel with a blue area from the bottom showing how much water is required. It is quite a subtle design feature that can be easy to miss and some form of internal indicator would be best but it still works.

| STAFF'S TASTE TEST - This Tikka Masala combines a good amount of rice and chicken with classic flavours. Staff who like mild and creamy flavours generally liked this meal but it certainly didn't stand out to anyone. The meal rehydrated well and the chicken strips were a good size and worked really well. As usual with LYO, staff were impressed by the look of the meal and the ingredients included. |
