I was intrigued by an article In the August issue of Popular Science about a liquid food called Soylent:
http://www.popsci.com/science/article/2013-07/could-liquid-replace-food
 
At that point, Rob Rhinehart was experimenting with a liquid food that, for an extended period, could supply his food needs.  I emailed him, telling him of the hundreds of backpackers that would love to lighten their loads if he could only dehydrate his liquid formula while still retaining its nutritional value.   He emailed back that “Soylent currently comes as a dehydrated powder. ... In fact, it's adding water and distributing it that we're currently working on. … You can pre-order at soylent.me, we should be shipping in December.”  


While we can’t obtain it commercially right now, but it does seem that Soylent, in its dehydrated form, might be something for backpackers to be aware of and to test as it becomes available.
 
Another article about Soylent is:

A dehydrated liquid food?  To quote Don Quixote… “to dream the impossible dream…”
