I experimented this week with dehydrating a side dish we make at times: Baked sweet potato and peanut butter (rather than butter, it has fat and protein and tastes great in our mind).
I just rehydrated it this morning and ate it for breakfast, it came out well. It'll be in my pack for hot breakfast usage and also works well if another hot snack is needed at some point. If one wants more fat they can add in some pecan pieces or such for crunch, if you want more protein you can add in some neutral flavored protein powder for minimal flavor change (I tried it on the second half this mornings breakfast).
Anyways I baked the potatoes for 90min on 400deg which makes them gooey soft. I opted to skip the skin for simplicity (we eat them when at home) and put all the insides in a bowl and mashed up consistently with a fork. Spread it out thinly on a fruit leather tray in the dehydrator and dried past fruit leather stage till it has a tendency to crack when bent. Ripped/broke up the pieces for packaging. Rehydrated at 1:1
This is 1cup dried potato and packet of almond butter. I opted to use a packet just to keep each meal individual versus bringing in a larger container of nut butter. I might lean towards 1.5c of potato and/or adding pecans to go for a bigger breakfast. The 1c below plus almond butter I think is ~400cal
Packaged in a vacuum bag which are better suited for boiling water. Added boiling water 1:1 to the potato and let it sit 20min with the lid folded shut. Stirred in the nut butter and ate straight from the bag.
