Snacking is Sacred
High Protein Ramen
Ingredients:
1 brick of whole wheat ramen noodles (or more)
Dried Tofu (as required)
1 packet of high-protein bone broth powder
Assorted sauce packets (Din Tai Fung chili oil, Taco Bell fire sauce — whatever treasure you’ve hoarded)
Optional: Seaweed Packets, Dried Onions, Furikake Seasoning
Instructions:
Boil water in your Jetboil or camp stove.
Add flavor base: Empty your bone broth powder into your bowl or Jetboil cup
Cook noodles: Drop in the ramen brick and tofu; pour boiling water to fully cover. Seal the top to trap the heat.
Let soak for about 5 minutes, until the noodles are soft
Get saucy: While you wait, mix up the bone broth into a concentrated soup
Mix it all together: Stir the noodles and broth until well combined, then drizzle in your sauce blend.
Top it off: Finish with seaweed, sesame, dried edamame, or anything crunchy you’ve got stashed.
Protein “Protein…” Bars
I do not like bars. I am on a journey to find ones I can stomach.
Mezcla Bars are currently winning for me; they taste like a rice krispie treat but….better. Crushing on Pistachio Chocolate with Hazelnut Chocolate at a close second. Bummed they discontinuined the Mexican Hot Chocolate Flavor but that’s the price we pay for innovation….
As a long time Jeni’s Ice Cream fan, I was….intrigued (to say the least) at the launch of Floura, Jeni Britton-Bauer’s answer to a problem I didn’t know I had - a lack of fiber. The taste is good but I’m not sure what this is really doing for me.
Misfits are my bar of choice when I actually need more fuel. I had about 5 of these over the course of climbing Baker, and was pretty done with the chalky chocolate protein taste by the end. That said, still better than an RX bar and the first one tastes like candy.
