This meal takes less than 5 minutes to make and not only is it tasty but it will also keep you feeling energized and satisfied. For this soup I visited three stores to source my ingredients, two in person, my local Co-op, and Winco, and one online for the Olive Oil packets .
INGREDIENTS:
- Freeze-Dried Split Pea Flakes (3oz)
- Dehydrated Onion Flakes (.1oz/2tsp)
- Freeze-Dried Garlic (.05oz/1tsp)
- Curry Powder (1/2 tsp)
- Vegetable Bouillon (.2oz)
- Dehydrated Vegetables (.4oz)
- Black Pepper (a pinch)
- Olive Oil (.4oz/1 packet)
- Water (on trail)
* I really recommend purchasing the olive oil packets: they are a perfect amount and you don’t need to find a small dark container to store your oil in. Just remember to not use them a lot, they do add waste!
After you’ve Gathered and Measured your ingredients you can put them into an air-tight bag and labeled it Curried Split Pea Soup with the date.
Your lunch is now trail ready !
On the Trail:
Once you’re feeling hungry after your breakfast have a couple morning snacks like, salted nuts, and fruit leather. For snacks stick to the general rules for eating with PoTS but don’t have to follow them as strictly. For example fruit leather and honey which are a majority of simple sugars, are still ok things to have while exercising, just remember moderation. Most importantly eat what makes you feel good!
Make sure you have a good place to stop to make your food and that you’ve already collected enough water or are near water to collect and filter. Once your water is filtered and collected you can start on step 1.
