INSTRUCTIONS (per serving)

HOME

Put all dry ingredients in a bag or container for use in the backcountry.
Pack 1 Tbsp (14 g) of coconut oil in a leakproof container to be added when the meal is consumed. We recommend double-bagging the oil in case of a leak. See the meal prep tips below.

FIELD

Add 2 oz (60 mL) of hot water and 1 Tbsp (14 g) of coconut oil to the bag or container.
Stir to mix well.
Let stand 1-2 minutes to allow the berries to rehydrate fully.
Stir to mix well and enjoy!

NOTES

SUBSTITUTIONS

Gluten-Free: Replace the granola with an equal amount of gluten-free granola.

Reflux-Friendly: Replace the mixed berries with 1/2 cup freeze-dried apples.

Reduced Sugar: Replace the cane sugar with your preferred sugar substitute, adjusting the amount according to the product's directions and desired sweetness.

No-Oil-Container Option: Replace 1 Tbsp coconut oil with 1 Tbsp MCT oil powder. Add the MCT oil powder directly to the dry ingredients during home preparation. This eliminates the need to carry a separate oil container and allows the crumble to be prepared with hot or cold water.

MEAL PREP TIPS

Use Freeze-Dried Fruit: Freeze-dried fruit is preferable to conventionally dehydrated fruit. It rehydrates quickly and helps create the compote-like berry sauce that gives this breakfast its crumble texture.

Choosing Granola: Choose a full-fat granola without dried fruit to maximize calorie density and let the berry mixture provide the fruit flavor.
