Hot Grapenuts with Fruit

Breakfast

Medium weight, very satisfying



See How to Dry Fruit

Cooking before packaging - none
Cooking in camp - cold or hot or boiling water

At Home:
Package in a sandwich baggie, one bag per serving:
1/2 cup grapenuts (wheat-barley nugget cereal)
1 T. powdered milk
1 t. powdered creamer
1/2 t. sugar if desired
1/8 t. butter buds
dried fruit bits to taste- I like 4 dried apricots cut into small pieces.

Add a small slip of paper with the in-camp directions. You will thank yourself later.




In Camp:
pour cereal mix into mug or bowl
add 1/2 c. hot or boiling water, it will reconstitute fine in even cold water, if you do not have time to heat water. (This is why I suggest putting it in a sandwich size bag vs. snack size bag, in case you want to just add some water to the bag.)
stir and eat

See Tips on Dehydrating Yogurt



At Home:
Per serving- spread 6-8 ounces of low-fat yogurt on saran wrap or teflon dehydrator sheets, not more than 1/4 inch thick. Dry until leathery. Don't over-dry or it can begin to caramelize.

Dry fruit however you like- smaller pieces, slices, broken bits of fruit leather. Or use commercially dried fruits.

Combing broken pieces of dried yogurt and dried fruit bits in a snack size baggie.

Package 2 or 3 full rectangles of cinnamon graham crackers in a separate snack size baggie.

I also pack a single use coffee bag and a single serve juice pack with the breakfast.

In Camp:
Just eat in dried form, or you can add water and reconstitute. This works, but the texture of the yogurt never is really smooth. I prefer to just eat it dry.
