Protine

[Bizz901]

Protine powder for big out bug,it's light packed with nutrition and has no shelf life,yet no one seems to be packing into the kit. Any reasons why ?

Meal replacement powders maybe. But Protein Shakes are very carb and calorie low so they don't actually do much in terms of nutrition all round

[lonewolf]

not my sort of thing.

Peanut butter is more sensible than protein powders.
It's got plenty of protein, carbs & fats but lacks in vitamins and minerals.
If you're going for only one type of food as a fuel source for the short term, I'd suggest a tub of it.
Not that I'm advocating it.

Protein powders can be used in cooking though. If you make a very basic tomato sauce and use a pea protein powder as thickener and cook it well, also add your curry powder (which i recommend keeping on hand with vegetable stock to turn even the most basic tesco value meal into something thats pleasant to eat), you end up with a sauce that tastes like dhaal (a kind of indian curry thats based on lentils).

So that takes your tesco value tins of tomatoes and your tomato puree with tesco value tins of potatoes and turns them into a really interesting indian themed meal with flavour and texture and probably more nutritional value.
