I started adding Sheilds date crystals to a lot of your recipes. So far I love everything and I'm not a veg or vegan. They are like super dehydrated date chunks.
Yes they are great! I've been holding back sharing that one :-) kind of running out of food to put on my channel! It's crazy that they're literally just like dehydrated pulverized dates, so you can consider it a whole food.
love the ideas the problem i find with most backpacking foods is that they are heavy bulky and not very nutritious but this is awesome thanks man definitely gonna work with this recipe
that is true the full version would probably do better if eaten a little at a time throughout the day or just split the recipe a couple of times so you could spread it out over multiple days
This looks awesome! I enjoy your meal videos a lot as I'm fairly new to veganism and I have been avoiding eating junk food while on the trail. It's nice to see healthy meal ideas to keep me well fueled.
They also make good meals for off the trail too. So often when I don't want to put together some leftovers or something from dinner for my lunch the next day, I end up just throwing together one of these meals and bringing it to work. Super simple, just add water, easy to pack up and bring.
Thanks for the great content. 1) Have you tried this with flax seed. I'm not a chia seed fan. Nutrition profiles are similar. I would use ground flax seed. I will experiment. But thought I would ask in case it's a total fail. 2) Regarding a previous comment - we can't absorb more than 600 calories of nutrition. I've never heard this before. Any sources you would recommend? Thanks so much for the great content. This will be third summer backpacking. I'm on the west - shorter trips are manageable. But the long trips that require a bear can tempt me to load up on calorie dense junk food. Your channel is helping me stay focused on keeping it healty.
Bro just add some oats and oat bran, maybe peanut butter or honey, and you can make bars out of it (if the sides are sticky, use cornstarch) and you have bars that can easily convert into over-night oats or maybe a chia pudding! I'm totally doing this for next summer and doing a video recipe
I hear ya...but that is borderline cooking :) I have experimented with all sorts of bars over the years and one of two things happen. I make them and then eat them before I go, or if I wait, I never want to take the time to prep them before I go. I know in the videos I kinda follow a recipe, but in real life I am just dumping things in that come close to have the same nutrition.
so i just went through the video and did the math and if you were to make this without the jello stuff and the goji berry you would have 1120 calories total and for just 5 ounces this would make a great ultra lightweight backpacking food
Sometimes I think what is missing from the food videos is "context." Like if I was just out for a basic hike the jello stuff...read that as sugar...is not really needed. but this is something I have eaten after a long day hiking, and last weekend I had a similar recipe after going on a car camping trip but going for a long run while I was there. All that sugar goes right back into your muscles for the next day. If I was camping and my muscles were not spent getting to the sit this amount of sugar would be unnecessary. For me it's clear when it is needed, it simply tastes awesome. When it tastes grossly sugary I know that on that day I did not exert myself enough to need it. With a bunch of the recipes on my channel I have really come to realize that So many of the meals that I LOVE on the trail just don't taste that good when I make them in my kitchen and eat them after just a regular day of work.
Have to get it from Amazon because the closest Whole Foods is over an hour away ☹️ & it's easier to get most of my backpacking stuff sent to the house at the same time.

Binged and subscribed! I've had difficulty finding good info on cold soaking, and basically nothing on plant based cold soak. Thanks a lot!

Awesome videos mate, subscribed . Thanks for taking the time to make them.
Love your videos ! Finally someone talking about numbers and vitamins!
yep, all the videos that basically focus on look at all the calories and look at all the fat, kind of drive me crazy :-)
Love the video Paul! I’m super crunchy lol!! I made this and subbed chocolate flavor Vega One powder. It was the bomb :)
Awesome :) at home sometimes I make it at night for work the next day and after soaking longer it has a different "creamier" texture.

You can't use flaxseed because then it won't turn into pudding. The chia seeds turn gelatinous and make everything stick together.

This dessert looks great! After the second shake how long do you leave it before eating? Thanks.
Try it at home to see what your preference is, but at least 20 min total time, up to an hour.

I think I might have left this as a comment under someone else's reply....but I know use powdered coconut milk or cream with this
Ever add vanilla bean powder? It's yummy goodness.
