Traded for an american military ration. It was far too sugary

    Of course it was. It's American. You don't end up with an "obesity epidemic" without over sugaring your sweets.

    Yea, tbh the whole ration pack was full of it. Surprising considering it goes to soldiers 🤷

    That actually is a result of the military establishment circa 80s and beyond realizing that giving soldiers food that they enjoy eating (and can carry easily) rather than the cheapest canned goods money could buy in bulk was both good for morale and helped ensure they ate the whole thing (back in the vietnam war a substantial amount of soldiers did not carry all of the cans with them to meet nutritional requirements or ditched undesired components constantly).

    I mean, we do have astronaut ice cream. It's not exactly the same but tastes pretty good.

    Isn't that basically just protein powder?

    If you have a freezer, real milkshakes are much better.

    They do have those though? There's the astronaut ice cream sandwiches too.

    Aren't most milkshakes and soft-serve "ice cream" bought in any number of businesses essentially just that very thing? Corporate America has already figured this out, they just don't want you to see how the sausage is made.

    Just buy malt powder... Add it in a ratio to your powdered milk.... Then eat it.

    Don’t you need to add ice cream to make a shake?
    On a side note, I put a frozen banana in a blender with some almond milk and coca powder and it tastes great.
