Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup quick oats
  • 1/4 cup freeze-dried strawberries
  • 1 piece chopped dried mango
  • 3 tsp coconut milk powder
  • 1 tsp chia seeds
  • 1/4 tsp cardamom
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1 pinch of sea salt
  • 1/2 cup boiling water
  • 1 tbsp roasted and salted pistachios

Instructions
 

  • Mix all of the DRY ingredients plus the honey, except the pistachios, into a quart-sized freezer-safe Ziploc bag or a reusable silicone baggie.
  • At camp, heat water to boiling.
  • Pour oats into a bowl that comes equipped with a lid, scraping out the bits of honey, OR simply keep the oatmeal in the baggie, tucking it into a Hyperlite REpack pouch.
  • Pour the desired amount of boiling water into the oatmeal. Stir. Cover the bowl or seal the bag and pouch, letting the oatmeal "cook" for 2 minute.
  • Stir, top with pistachios, and eat!

Notes

  • The amount of water you need to add to your instant oats can depend on the brand and variety of instant oats you use! For my recipes I use Organic Sprouted Quick Oats by One Degree Organic Foods.
