Energy should be the top priority when choosing foods for your survival stockpile, especially if you’re not sure how long you’re going to bug in at home and you want to make your food supply last for as long as possible.
Here are some superfoods to stock up on if you’re looking for supplies that are nutritious and can help boost your energy levels after disaster strikes. (h/t to PrepperWebsite.com)
Coconut oil is a must-have for your survival food stockpile because it is packed with essential nutrients.
Coconut oil also has a long shelf life if it is sealed up and protected from extreme temperatures. When stored properly, coconut oil can last up to one year or more.
If you’re not sure the coconut oil in your stockpile is still good to use, check if it has turned into a strange color or if it is giving off bad smells. If it looks and smells fine, it should be good to go.
Coconut oil is an excellent food to add to your survival stockpile because it is a good source of healthy fats and calories that can help sustain you and curb your appetite. From a nutrient standpoint, coconut oil is considered a superfood because it contains fatty acids like capric acid and lauric acid.
Adding coconut oil to your meals or simply eating a spoonful a day gives you plenty of brain health-boosting nutrients, lowers your cholesterol and helps minimize inflammation-related health issues.
Additionally, the fatty acids in coconut oils may help you build muscle and sustain all of your bodily processes.
Coconut seed energy bites
When SHTF, make coconut seed energy bites to boost your energy levels with a healthy snack.
These bites are a great pick-me-up snack to keep you going until your next meal. You also need a baked sweet potato.
Bake the sweet potato in the oven for 45 minutes.

Preparation:
There are different kinds of lentils and they are all full of energy-boosting nutrients that’ll help you stay healthy and strong even in a survival scenario.
Lentils are full of dietary fiber that helps you digest your food and make better use of the energy they provide. Protein makes up the bulk of the calories found in lentils, which means you’ll be building healthy lean muscle. At the same time, protein from lentils will help you feel full longer.
Lentils burn slowly, meaning you will have the energy to get you through the day, regardless of your metabolism speed. Lentils are also good for your heart health and blood circulation, which both aid in brain health and mental function.
Finally, uncooked lentils can be kept for a year or more without spoiling, which is perfect for your survival stockpile.

Organic honey is another amazing superfood that preppers should stock up on if you want to get healthy servings of many vitamins and nutrients.

Honey is good for your digestive health and it also naturally produces melatonin, a health aid that gives you complete sleep cycles. Additionally, honey is full of natural sugars that give you a boost of energy, which can help you get through a long-term survival scenario.
