Recipe of the Week: Survival Spread

The following Survival Spread recipe is from SurvivalBlog reader L.E.. She notes:

“You may have to overcome a visual “ick” factor, since this mixture resembles baby poop. Along with plenty of water, two heaping spoonfuls per day will keep an adult alive for a week if nothing else is eaten.

DO NOT attempt to add nuts or fruit or oatmeal, the goal here is to have a mixture that can be easily consumed and digested by babies, licked off a spoon by starving children, bedridden injured, and toothless old people.”

Ingredients

• One 16-ounce jar of store-brand peanut butter
• Two cups powdered WHOLE milk, (either Peak brand or WHOLE goats milk-Meyer brand.)
  (Do NOT use store-brand nonfat powdered milk, you will need WHOLE milk for recipe to work)
• Two cups Protein powder (Chocolate Malt Ovaltine, or Instant Breakfast powder any flavor)
• One cup melted coconut oil (or substitute lard, if you are not Jewish or Muslim)
• One-quarter cup syrup of choice (Maple syrup, Fig syrup, or Molasses)

Directions

1. Mix all ingredients in large microwave-safe container, then heat in a microwave oven for one minute or less, keeping watch to make sure nothing burns or bubbles over. Or mix well in a metal pan on your stovetop on low heat.
2. When the mixture has cooled, it must be able to hold a spoon stuck in it upright without slumping over.

SERVING & STORAGE

Store in fridge and use like peanut butter, or vacuum seal to eat like a popsicle. I vacuum seal mine in foil pouches each containing 14 heaping tablespoons full, and freeze them. It is my “grab and flee” emergency food.
