I like Nutrex Hawaii and Earthwise. They seem to have good quality control, and taste great. I've used both daily, and really like them. I like the taste/look of Nutrex a little more.
I haven't tried micro ingredients yet but I use some of their other supplements, and really like those. Their spirulina is certified USDA organic and is cheap - on amazon, 2lbs is the same as 1lb of Nutrex. I'll probably try that next time I order some.
OP- So currently I follow a low-carb, high fat diet. I think it's actually very well suited for the trail, as fat is calorie dense (less weight/space), and may require less prep. Also hiking hard you will be burning a lot of fat anyway, so you may suffer less dramatic blood sugar swings if your diet reinforces rather than countervails this trend.
At home I eat salads+avocado, sometimes olives, always cheese, olive oil, vinegar, plus cold cuts or roast chicken slices for lunch and dinner, and generally some Belgiosio mozzarella snack cheese plus an apple for breakfast, and some fruit as dessert after dinner. For a hot drink, I like to use unsweetened cocoa powder- a couple to 3 tbs of Equal Exchange baking cocoa, plus some Belgian cocoa for some extra kick (Belgian cocoa is more acidic/bitter). I mix in 2 tbs of heavy cream. This is relatively high fiber, low carb, high in nutrients. Also coffee.
Since I go nearly stoveless at home, here's what I've come up with for a meal replacement on the trail: a shake made from:
Vegetarian trail protein shake:
Vitamins and minerals base
Fats/fiber: Powdered avocado
Fats/taste: Powdered heavy cream
Protein/other nutrients:
Powdered Spirulina
Protein/fiber/other nutrients
Powdered Chlorella
Taste/some carbs/fiber:
Cocoa (2/3 Baking, 1/3 Belgian)
Note that this is only what I've planned, although I've made pretty tasty shakes before using whey protein, avocado, cocoa, and strawberries.
For solid food, I plan on bringing dried apples, freeze-dried strawberries, cheese, Wild Zora's meat/veggie bars (excellent, especially the lamb), Chudabeef beef jerk (best beef jerky- low sugar, tasty, though go easy on beef jerky in general), and nuts. Also the aforementioned cocoa and Starbucks Via.
I also plan on bringing some Better than Bouillon and freeze-dried veggies, and some amount of freeze-dried meat to make either a hot broth or soup. Combined with the cocoa/coffee, this will be the only use of a stove I will have.
I will also be bringing some pemmican in case I find I haven't brought enough food otherwise, since it's probably literally the most calories per weight you can carry.
Hopefully this gives you some ideas!
Edit: Also I think that any or all of vitamins, minerals (especially electrolytes), protein, and fats could be what you need more of on the trail.
