Cold Soak Recipe Ideas, Stoveless Recipes

[Music] you I spent a good deal of time researching and testing backpacking meals right here in my kitchen part of that was no cook or cold soaking meals there are many benefits to cold soak and no cook food preparation for me I don't like to cook breakfast or lunch I want to keep moving on the trail I want to keep food preparation to a minimum and I don't want to sacrifice nutrition I've tested various ingredients here in the kitchen and field tested them as well I'll pass those along to you and maybe you'll get some ideas for your next backpacking trip all right let's jump into some recipes got some lunch and dinner recipes and then I'll finish with a couple of breakfast recipes so first it's a cold soaked recipe for dehydrated refried beans they come in these flakes come in a package like this bought it online you add cheese crisps at the end and then you either eat it in a tortilla or tear up the tortilla and put it in your cold soap jar and I use a tell NT jar like this nice and durable and a good size so that's 550 calories 45 percent of my daily fiber and 50 percent daily protein you can optionally also put Fritos crunched-up into that mixture also second recipe is also cold soaked it's dehydrated pinto beans and it's a little taco seasoning these cheese crisps again and Fritos that would be 550 calories 40% daily fiber 40% daily protein these cheese crisps are good you haven't seen them they are made out of real cheese nice and lightweight and great taste next is another cold soap recipe use couscous I don't know how about here dehydrated vegetables so I bought these online as well really good so they take about 20 minutes to fully hydrate something like that you can eat them in as little as about 15 minutes I would say but try to allow about 20 minutes for those and that's a good amount for couscous anyway you would also add a some sort of tuna or chicken packet to that and that turns out to be 350 calories to about 400 calories 20% of your daily fiber 40% of your daily protein next is an instant meal so try to find one of these packages of you know peanut butter or almond butter you would also want a tortilla and then dried fruit I like I like either one of these like a dried cherries or dried bananas cranberries are good as well so that is see you yeah the almond butter and the dried fruit on a tortilla that's 550 calories 50% of your daily fiber 50% of your daily protein the next is cold soaked almost instant though using some kind of dehydrated instant potatoes like these you'd also use the cheese crisps and summer sausage so that would be about 500 calories 10% of your daily fiber and 40% of your daily protein I do find that some of the potatoes can be high in sodium which doesn't leave me feeling - you know - well if you eat a lot of it so try to look for a lower sodium would be my tip on on instant potatoes next is a cold soaked recipe it would be an or rice side Mexican or Spanish and then also in a tortilla and use the cheese crisps as well that's 650 calories 24 25 % daily fiber and 60% daily protein all right and now on to breakfast reps recipes I have a go to and that is and that is oatmeal so oatmeal with some protein powder and I like not just any protein powder I like the kind that is a meal replacement and that's what these are even though they make it sound like it's a weight loss thing it's actually got vitamins and minerals in there as well as the protein so look for something like that so anyway oatmeal protein powder dried fruit and that would come out to 450 calories 40% of your daily fiber 25% of daily protein the next one is an instant meal so you would you'd put some sort of cereal into your cold soaked jar add protein powder like this and then just water and then dried fruit that would be that would be 480 calories 40% of your daily fiber 25% of your daily protein just a little note on cold soaked times on some of those stuff the do you hydrated refried beans those would be anywhere from 30 minutes to 60 minutes depending on you know how you want to take those but 30 minutes is fine and totally edible it's just you can you know it's not like fully fully mixed you can kind of still feel that flaky texture a little bit so give it about an hour if you want to have a nice smoother consistency I think I mentioned these the vegetables that would be about 20-30 minutes would be about right for those oatmeal that's about 5 to 10 minutes and that's good to go and and I think that's about it oh the instant potatoes those are pretty much instant just uh maybe a couple minutes and then it's fully hydrated if you don't want to use protein powder like this and you have access to breakfast essentials that works as well a little more sugar that way and I think that's it I hope this gave you some good ideas for your next backpacking trip if you have any other ideas feel free to leave those in the comments below and happy backpacking [Music] you
