I’ve got a few recipes in the archives—high‑protein, low‑prep. Nothing fancy, but it packs the punch you need when the squad’s on the move. Just keep the portions balanced, no room for waste. That's the only way to keep morale and stamina up.

Here’s a base you can use: **Protein Bar Base** - 2 cups rolled oats - 1 cup protein powder (whey or plant‑based) - ½ cup peanut butter - ½ cup honey or maple syrup - ½ cup dried fruit (raisins, cranberries) - ¼ cup chopped nuts or seeds Mix everything, press into a pan, chill for an hour, then cut into bars. **Flavor Variations** 1. Citrus Boost – add the zest of one orange and replace ¼ cup honey with orange‑flavored syrup. 2. Spicy Kick – stir in 1 tsp chili powder and a pinch of smoked paprika. 3. Minty Fresh – fold in 2 tbsp chopped fresh mint or 1 tsp mint extract. All ingredients can be pre‑measured in bulk. When you need a snack, just grab a bar, or if you’re in the field, a quick mix of the base with a splash of water and a dash of your chosen flavor is ready in 5 minutes. That keeps the prep low, protein high, and morale up.
