hiking recipes

I am looking at my hiking recipes and found an oldie but goodie, grog cakes or oatmeal pancakes. The recipe calls for 1/2 cup powdered milk.

This may be a stupid question, but, can I substitue protein powder for some of the milk and up the protein content of a trail breakfast that way?

Does anyone have good suggestions for trail food that is not overloaded with carbs and sodium?

    no clue here but you could try it at home and maybe cut the recipe in half for a trial run.

    how about beef jerky on the trail, or vienna sausages, maybe tuna and low sodium crackers. I hope this helps

    Here are a couple of my favorites:

    Southwest Chicken Wraps
    1 can chicken (5 oz.)
    1 mayo condiment packet
    1 salsa condiment packet
    2 flour tortillas
    Mix tuna, mayo and salsa together. Spread on tortillas and roll.


    Tuna Wraps
    1 packet tuna (3 oz.)
    1 mayo condiment packet
    1 relish condiment packet
    2 flour tortillas
    Open tuna packet. Mix in mayo and relish. Spread on tortillas.

    As far as the protein powder goes, I know you can use it to replace the flour.
    Never heard of using it to replace the powdered milk tho.

    Give it a trial run tho, certainly wouldn't hurt to try!

    I guess I was thinking about it as a milk substitute because of the whey protein in it. I hadn't thought of it as a wheat substitute.

    Thanks!
