Cup noodles can be made with cold water too. But they will take about 30 mins instead of 2-3 minutes. Tried and tested. They still taste good. They are not very nutritious, though.
I would recommended making Energy Bars/Balls. You can find a lot of recipes online but here's mine:
- Roasted almonds
- Roasted cashews
- Roasted pistachios
- Roasted hazelnuts
- Roasted walnuts
- Raisins
- Dates
- Dried Cranberries
- Peanut Butter (unsweetened) (mine contains coconut oil)
- Sesame seeds
- Muskmelon seeds
- Flax seeds
- Pumpkin seeds
- Dark Chocolate
- Roast the nuts and grind almonds and walnuts to almost flour consistency, and grind the others coarsly.
- Just put everything in a food processor and let it mix everything. You can also mix it with hand or spoon.
- To make bars, just put the mixture in a baking dish or a tray and put as much pressure as you can on top of it with your hands or spoon to remove all the air pockets. Refrigerate it for 4 hours. Then cut it into bars.
- To make balls, just lightly oil your hands and form a ball shape. Again, press them hard to remove the air pockets.
These can last over a week outside the refrigerator (considering the ambient temperature in your area does not rise above 30ยฐ C). And inside the refrigerator they can last for over a month.
You can add different types of seeds, nuts, sweeteners etc, depending on what you like, what your body needs and what's available.
Hope this helps.
