Snack Attack

H:
Remember all those fruits we put through the dehydrator?  One of our projects on the "to do list" was to repackage the bulk amounts down to snack packs.

Divvying up our dried fruits like this will allow us to have some of those awesome treats throughout our whole trip.
Bananas, apples, pineapple, kiwi, dried banana puree, sweet potato puree, and pumpkin leather.

But we couldn't stop there.  Into each pack of fruit we tossed a variety of nuts and store bought honeyed snack mix, as well as chocolate and yogurt covered raisins.


I have to say that not everything made it to the snack packs.  I had help from various young-ins though out the process.  For their work they got to sample a little of everything.



We'll still need to buy snacks for the hike but it will be just augmenting all our hard work.  


Another one of our yummy mix packs is homemade granola.  Full of oats, shredded coconut, nuts, cranberries, raisins. and all of it coated with agave nectar, vegetable oil, and various flavorings.  
We packed a cup of this delicious mix into a baggie with 1/3 cup of powdered milk for an instant and calorie packed breakfast.  All we will need to do is add water and eat.
