Do you have measurements for this? I would like to maybe skip the powdered vitamins (so you wouldn’t need as much sugar), and maybe use, as Granny suggested, cinnamon or cocoa instead.

What a neat idea!

Thank you, but I can't take credit. It was created by Andre Briend, a French pediatric nutritionist to treat starving children in Africa. The results are dramatic.

I haven't been able to find a recipe for it, but the ingredients are in the post you referenced. I'm just experimenting until I find something we like. (My first two attempts I used *way* too much peanut butter.)

I haven't played with it for awhile, but you've inspired me to try again! Here is the next place I'll start:

5 TBSP peanut butter
1 TBSP vegetable oil
1/4 C powdered milk
Sugar to taste (no clue)
Powdered vitamins and minerals
No Salt to taste

It's important to remember that this is supposed to be a complete meal replacement. Two packs at 600 calories each for women and children and three packs for men. The beauty is that it's cheap, portable and it stores well. It's a LOT of nutritional bang for your buck. Tons of energy and, if you do choose to add the vitamins, enough of the important stuff to avoid scurvy, etc.
