Irish Cream
I made some organic Irish Cream and organic chocolate syrup. It was good.
I only used a dash in my coffee, but it was a treat.

Day 5
Boring day. Just ate pancakes with bananas for breakfast, and left over lentils for lunch and dinner. I did make some killer Baily's Irish Cream though... I will post video of that also.

Day 3
Survive 2 Thrive Review
Day 3
Breakfast was fantastic, lunch was good, dinner was fantastic.
For breakfast today, I really treated myself. In addition to the food from the Survive 2 Thrive pail, I also have organic eggs, organic butter, and a little bit of organic yogurt. I had no coffee, tea, or alcohol today.
For lunch, I just reheated some of the black beans and quinoa (AKA bear scat), some organic baby spinich with organic olive oil, and apple cider vinegar dressing, and had an enerfood drink with FPP and Immune Option. (did not tape it)
For dinner, I had lentils, baby spinach, 2 eggs, and 1/4 lb of organic grass fed beef, seasoned with Cajan spice and Tabasco.
I combined the breakfast and dinner video into one tape - 11:07 minutes.
I would estimate my calories today at well below 3000. Total cost for the day - including pancakes, beans, quinoa, spinach, beef, eggs, yogurt, and butter... $9.00 - Absurdly cheap. Don't tell me it is too expensive to eat only organic. This was a splurge day. Yesterday's total was under $6.00! I don't know about you, but I can certainly afford $6.00 a day for food. But I suppose if one wanted to create the same ingredients using conventionally grown foods, it would cost about 1/2 as much. So if money is tight, one could eat for around $3.00 a day, and still get all their nutrition. To be honest, if this pail of food was my last food, I could easily make it last 60 days. And there is no way that a child could eat a full portion. I would guess that a family of four (with two pre-teens) could easily get by with two pails for 30 days. That would put the average cost per day at $4.25 per person. That is affordable even to someone with a part time job. In fact, I would lay odds that most families I know spend way more than that. So even if that family supplemented with fresh veggies, grass fed beef, butter, and eggs - the would still get meals for under $6.00 per day.
Based on that alone, I would suggest that anyone who is spending more that $6.00 per day for food, that this is affordable. Well balanced, nutritious, vegetarian, delicious, and a great way to SAVE money. Food prices will likely double this year. If one were to buy a few of these and put them away, it might be one of the best investments that they ever made.

Day 2 - Breakfast
Survive2Thrive Review - Day 2
Breakfast was quick and easy, cheap and good. You have to realize that these organic, nutritious meals are costing less than $6.00 per day. That means that this breakfast cost around $1.50 and I was completely stuffed when I got up from the table.
I prepared oatmeal, and gluten-free pancakes. I also made some organic coffee, that was horrible. I'm beginning to think that organic coffee is great for a liver flush (administered rectally) but not very good for drinking. I used to get some excellent organic coffee at Costco, but they stopped selling it. The last time I bought it, I bought 200 lbs, but that is all gone and now I can't replace it. Bummer. If you know of some good organic coffee, please let me know.
Today's video shows every step of the prep. It is so simple, I think a 7 year old could do this. I was much more alert today than yesterday.
There will be no prep at all for lunch. I fixed a double batch yesterday of black beans and quinoa, so I will eat the rest of that, and have one of those delicious Enerfood drinks. I need to figure out how to improve the taste of that. I will be mixing my supplements with today's drink. Also, I am planning to switch to tea until a viewer recommends a better coffee.
The girls and I are going to hit the gym now, and work on some ju jitsu holds, chokes and throws... and maybe take a quick swim. Then we will be back for lunch and another update.

Day 1 - Dinner
I didn't tape my dinner preparation, because I just used the beans that I started soaking at lunch time, and mixed them with quinoa. It wasn't a particularly good dinner, but it was hot, nutritious, and there was plenty of it. I cooked a double batch, so I will have it for lunch tomorrow, too.
My video here gives my notes on dinner and the first day. Thanks for watching.
