Sample Daily Plan for ~80g+ Protein (Adjust for your needs/calories)Assume a baseline of ~2,000-2,500 calories/day from freeze-dried foods, focusing on moderate-protein meals.
- Morning/Energy Boost: PREP Cold Brew shake (mixed with water) → ~20g protein + caffeine kick (~150mg or equivalent to a solid cup of coffee) for alertness without brewing.
- Midday Meal: Freeze-dried entree (e.g., chili mac, beef stroganoff, or chicken teriyaki) → ~20-30g protein.
- Afternoon/Evening: Another freeze-dried meal (e.g., pasta or rice-based with added meat) → ~20-30g protein.
- Add Extra PREP: 1-2 additional servings of standard PREP powder as shakes/drinks (e.g., one mid-afternoon, one evening) → +20g protein.
Total protein: Easily reaches 80-100g+ without needing pricier, bulkier high-meat freeze-dried options. Rotate PREP flavors (including Cold Brew for mornings) for variety, and to supplement lower-protein meals if desired.How Much Longer Does Your Food Supply Last?Adding PREP extends your stash significantly because it's calorie- and protein-dense (max nutrition per pound/ounce), lightweight, and efficient.
- Relying solely on freeze-dried meals burns through supplies faster if protein is insufficient (you might need extra servings for satiety/strength).
- Supplementing with PREP (e.g., 1-2 servings/day for protein/caffeine boosts) reduces dependence on protein-heavy freeze-dried items → stretching your freeze-dried supply by 30-60% or more (e.g., a 3-month kit could last 4-6+ months effectively).
- PREP itself lasts 10+ years sealed, adding "extra months" of high-quality, no-fuss nutrition without spoilage.
- In resource-limited scenarios (low water/fuel), PREP drinks are ultra-efficient—no full rehydration wait for meals.
This combo keeps you strong and energized longer while optimizing space and resources—ideal for serious long-term preparedness. Stock what you test and rotate!
