I meant to post this before our trip, but I just plain ran out of time... I didn't eat all this in the order posted. This is more or less just a guideline so I knew that I would have the right amount of food.
Overall verdict is more snacks. Especially carbs and flavored nuts. I was also eyeing Rooinator's pepperoni sticks and peppered beef jerky he had for snacks. I need to look into more things that I can eat while actually walking along.Ended up eating trail bars for breakfast one day, and a PB Crunch Wrap for lunch on the last day. The tortillas got dry and a bit crumbly by day 5.
Day 1Breakfast: at homeLunch: salami and cheese (the little wax covered wheels)Dinner: Pasta w/Chicken and Artichoke Hearts - excellent!
Day 2Breakfast: PB Crunch Wrap - good stuff. Packed too much granola, better with the maple almond butter than the cinnamon PB (Justin's Nut Butters)Lunch: salami and cheeseDinner: Chili Mac - ok
Day 3Breakfast: PB Crunch WrapLunch: Wasa crackers and shelf stable cream cheese (eaten with more salami, pepperoni sticks or similar would have been better) - wanted more of this. Better than expectedDinner: Unstuffed Peppers w/quinoa and chicken
Day 4Breakfast: Cherry Almond Oatmeal - made with almond milk powder. Very good!Lunch: Mount Daniel Wraps (black beans, cheese, taco sauce, tortilla) - 5 min to make and awesome! A little too much beans - the excess went on Rooinator's tuna wrap. He said it was good.Dinner: Rice & Veggies w/ Peanut Sauce
Day 5Breakfast: Strawberry Almond Oatmeal - made with almond milk powder. Very good.Lunch: whatever cheese/crackers/salami and snacks are leftoverDinner: at home/in car
SnacksDried mangos - wanted more! MORE! MORE!PB M&Ms - more! Good fast energy. Or similar candy. Snickers? Payday w/chocolate?salted cashews - just right amountCalifornia Crunchies (flavored almonds) - love these. More. I think I can reverse engineer these to be made at home too.EmergenC x 22 - half would be more than enough. Overkill.Luna Moons x 3 - more would have been good. Easy to eat while walking1 mini chocolate bar w/dried fruit (Target) - more1 chocolate cliff nectar bar - didn't eat1 cherry lara bar - good snackJust veggies - didn't eat.
OtherStarbucks Via instant coffee - great!Sugar in the raw packetsPowdered almond milk (only b/c I didn't have regular milk) - good. Really good in the oatmealHerbal Tea packets - great! Nice change from plain water and EmergenC w/dinners1 dessert - Nutella and banana wrap - Made and gave to Rooinator. He said it was good.Olive oil - only added to the artichoke pastasalt & pepper packets - didn't use
