Shelf life might be an issue.

They probably don't get 24 hours notice for call-outs ;)

I had never thought of that approach
We could use Deliveroo

Buy a dehydrator and make your own stuff. When you're ready to eat put it in a tuppaware box, add hot water and it's ready to go a few minutes later. Hot meals when you need one. Dehydrate fruit for snacks.

Any suggestions?

Definitely buy some of those :thumbup:

Then look at the list of ingredients .... You can work out the rest ;)

I did that with some 'good gut' cereal toppers/sprinkles. Looked at the ingredients by % (also took a given weight and divided it up into constituent parts and weighed - completely ott as I'm sure I wouldn't notice if the ingredients varied a fair bit :D ).

Then went out and bought the ingredients (chia seeds, linseed, hemp seed, dried berries, dried bananas etc etc). Result? Fraction of the cost and it tastes better. Nice on porage. :thumbup:

Could add that to an energy bar mix too.

Hold on ... Missing a trick here!

The RNLI has 160+ all weather lifeboats.

So, realistically, they're going to get through tons of these nutritious own-brand meusli bars.

So, tie-in with a company, sell 'RNLI approved ', get stock for the boats cheap, no faff cooking them. And sell them alongside postcards and tea towels.

I'm not employed by them - I volunteer. I want to sort out a local need. The paid people can do that
