Simple 4 Day Resupply from Aldi
I did some research on a simple resupply plan using products available at Aldi. There are 4 ingredients:
Oatmeal, Protein powder, Almonds, Cranberries
4 Day Resupply:
1 - 42 oz oatmeal (regular)
1 - 32 oz protein powder
2 - 14 oz almonds
4 - 6 oz dried cranberries
Total weight: 7.9 pounds
Daily:
2 - 1.5 cups cold soaked oatmeal (about 2/3 peanut butter jar)
2 to 5 servings of protein powder
1/2 14 oz bag of almonds
1 6 oz bag of dried cranberries
The package of protein powder will provide up to 5 scoops of protein powder per day. Drink as many as you wish.
Daily nutrition (with 5 servings of protein powder per day):
Calories 3775
Fat 189% USDA recommended
Carbohydrate 152% USDA recommended
Protein 450% USDA recommended (5 servings protein powder)
Cost: about $46 at Aldi
If you can handle eating oatmeal twice a day, this diet offers somewhat balanced macros, no sugar, no preservatives.
Of all the cold soaked food I have tried, I like oatmeal with cranberries the best, so I think I could eat oatmeal as a morning and evening meal. I love snacking on almonds and cranberries.
From a weight perspective it is efficient, I would probably have some leftover protein powder but otherwise the food should be used up completely.
With the protein powder, I mix up a batch in a peanut butter jar and sip a little bit at a time. If I were to chug the whole jar, well, lets just say that I would need to start digging and emergency cathole right away.
