Emergency Food
Here are 13 better items for your grocery-store run. 1. Peanut butter: It's high-protein and lasts for months. 2. Canned soups and chili: You can eat it straight out of the can. It's also packed with nutrients. You might want to avoid soups loaded with sodium and artificial flavorings, though. 3. Avocados: If you're lucky enough to live in a region that supplies avocados year-round, stock up on a few. They're high in protein, easy to eat, and will liven up any sandwich, soup, or dip. 4. Bottled water: If your water supply becomes contaminated, bottled water is a great way to keep yourself hydrated and can be used to rinse your fruit, vegetables, and body. Save plastic and money by grabbing larger containers. 5. Protein bars: Quick, easy way to get some calories and protein without the work. 6. Crackers: Slather on some peanut butter or used them as a sliced-bread substitute for a sandwich. 7. Multivitamins: Replenish essential vitamins quickly. 8. Canned beans: They're versatile and oh so nutritious and yummy. 9. Dried meat: Who says these are only for meatheads? Lock in the protein with this savory snack just watch out for the extra salt. 10. Nuts and trail mix: They're easy to eat, high in protein, satisfying, and don't require refrigeration. 11. Cereal: Multigrain cereals are a nutritious, pleasurable snack. If you passed on the fresh milk, try using powdered milk or eat it dry. 12. Canned tuna: Tuna is a great source of protein and is easy to prepare. Just don't forget a can opener! 13. Seasonings: One of the simplest and arguably most important things is to add some flavor to bland foods.
