Camping Grub!

The Shoeherd LOVES camping, and we have methods for good eats anywhere we go. This trip Mamma packed the good stuff. This Super Grain is packed with Protein and will keep your energy levels high while you hike in some serious altitude with major elevation gains. The nice part is that it tastes great and it keeps well in a Ziploc in your cooler. Pack this for lunch at home, the beach, or camping in the Mountains!
