I've priced those prepared freeze-dried meals. They aren't cheap, are they? Plus, I really think proper nutrition is seriously lacking, not only in the freeze-dried meal area, but among preppers in general. Meals that contain white rice (and brown rice isn't much better), and white sugar and/or white flour, for example, really offer little as far as nutrition. So I started thinking about some ways I could make my own instant meals with an eye on nutrition. I've been digging around and so far I've found one idea (from Emergency Preparedness » Recipes), which I'll post below, but I'd like to keep a running list, and I'd really like to hear others' ideas. I do need to get some Mylar bags and a sealer, I guess, and I need a sealable bucket to put them in.
I don't use white sugar or white flour. I will be using erythritol and/or stevia for sweetening if needed.
Instant Oatmeal
1/2 c. instant oats
1 T. instant milk powder
2 T. chopped, dried fruit, optional but provides sweetness without sugar
1 t. sweetener, if preferred
Add one cup hot water to serve.
