This is not a recipe! No cooking!
It's a mix (or a re-mix in this case). I first tasted a similar mix as an office snack in a previous job. I took note of what's in it and this is my
This is what happened when I first mixed "Dakot" at our apartment and made my brother taste it.
Kuya Aaron (while looking over my shoulder as I mixed my re-mix):
"Ate, ano 'yan?" (Older sister, what is that?)
Ate Tere: "Tikman mo, masarap." (Taste it, it's good.)
Kuya Aaron (while looking at it suspiciously): "May pasas?" (With raisins?)
Ate Tere: "Kainin mo na lang..." (Just eat it...)
After about an hour...
Ate Tere: "Kuya masarap ba?" (Older brother does it taste good?)
Kuya Aaron (speaks with food in his mouth): "Orgh orgh, masharaph." (Yes, it's good.)
Ate Tere (walks over to his makeshift computer station): "Ano sabi mo?" (What did you say?)
Then I stared at the almost empty bag of the re-mix... And then at my brother who smiled innocently with cereal bits around his mouth...
FYI: I am the eldest. I just like calling our youngest, Aaron, kuya (older brother).
TRAIL FOOD
This mix can also replace your trail food staples like energy bars, biscuits, chocolate bars and chips. I made my friend Israel try it out and bring it as his trail food on his first major climb (Mt. Amuyao, a collaborative post coming soon) and he said that he and his companions enjoyed it alot.
WHAT'S IN IT
1. Cereal (1 box, 240 grams)
- You can use your favorite cereal. I suggest whole grain flakes, especially if you are planning to eat it during a climb. My personal favorite is Nestle's Fitnesse Clusters (Almonds, Honey and Almonds or Banana Nut).
2. Candy Coated Chocolates (40 grams)
- Nips or M&Ms!
3. Cashew Nuts - chopped (40 grams)
- Other nuts will also do. Hazelnuts, almonds, macadamia nuts .. Peanuts... (FYI: Peanuts are legumes)
- Salted or plain, it doesn't matter.
4. Raisins (100 grams)
DIRECTIONS
Mix everything in a sealable bag or canister and enjoy!
