Sauerkraut fermented with yellow peppers, radish, and green onion

Unpasteurized sauerkraut is high in vitamin C (30mg per cup), lactobacilli, and other nutrients,. It is only 42 calories per cup, making it a tasty low calorie treat.

Baked Muesli

This muesli recipe will blow away any muesli you’ve tried before. The key to this recipe is baking the muesli with honey and peanut oil (or safflower oil). This releases a hearty toasty flavor and crunch in the oats. It helps the flavors mingle and harmonize.

I eat it in the morning with soy milk or yogurt and frozen fruits. I snack on it throughout the day alone. It is the best snack food in the wilderness, and bears will love the taste of you if you roll in it.

I wrote quick and simple instructions that require the use of a food dehydrator. I’ve read that a partly propped open oven door at a low temperature serves the same purpose.

If you snack on these, take it easy at first to see how your body reacts. Digestive tract may require acclimation.
