"In an emergency, the right nutrition becomes a crucial element of your survival and ability to do what needs to be done--whether that's rebuilding your home, searching for other survivors, or evacuating on foot. Protein is a non-negotiable when it comes to nutrition [and preparedness]. Stock up on your favorites!"
--quote from the Emergency Essentials monthly catalog
Even if your home isn't destroyed, or you aren't searching for survivors, if we are living in a post disaster world for a while life will be harder physically. We will be doing work that we aren't used to doing physically. Digging, clearing debris, cooking over a fire, manually grinding flour, these are all activities most of us don't do on a daily basis. Protein will help keep you feeling full, and give your the extra strength you'll need in a disaster. I'll list a few examples of protein sources that aren't a slab of meat :)
- peanut butter and all other nut butters
- nuts and seeds
- quinoa/amaranth/bulgur/teff/millet
- chia seeds
- protein bars
- beans
- tuna
- canned chicken and other meats
- protein powder (would be great to make a protein drink with one of those shaker cups)
the best Protein Powder on the market today is Vemma Bod-e
