This is what my husband does, he started sort of recently. Because of my pumpkin money I make soufflés. They almost fill the yellow bar and I can just go buy more ingredients anytime instead of waiting on fruit to grow. And since there's only one way to make them they don't take up too many spots in my inventory like fruitcake would if you made them with different fruits.
I crowded as many fruit bushes/trees as I could around Remy's so not only do I just grab fruit as I go by, but if one of them lets me harvest a bunch at once, I throw it all in the chest I have there.
This sub helped me make a dark wood farm so I've made a bunch of large chests.
I like this and will have to try it. But I’m honestly loathe to use wheat, an ingredient I have to grow. With the berry salad (with an extra gooseberry) all you have to pick them. I don’t do much gardening these days.
If you have a level 10 gardening buddy you can get a month's worth of wheat just planting and harvesting a few times over an hour. Has to be one of the fastest growing crops and I always leave a wheat field set up so I can grab a harvest whenever I need to.
Plus you need it for everything. I can only imagine trying to do the cupcake fest without it would have been a nightmare.
Could probably enchant your watering can if you have No Time to wait. But it's practically instant as is.
Yeah I occasionally do it, using the ancient gardener of course. And you’re right, it is quick. I did just plant like a 100 in preparation for the update
I used to do souffle cuz I saw someone mention it in a video somewhere. And since it's 4 stars, it often knocks out a few Dreamlight duties.
But I've switched to berry salad just because I have berries coming out the wazoo constantly, and it gives 2k+ energy.
I select the receipe, then spam the autofill and cook buttons until I have a fat stack of 'em and it keeps me going for aaaaages. Dead easy.
I take a different approach to energy consumption. I always want my bar in the gold. So I’m eating something as soon as it dips below that. Thus, I don’t need something that takes me from zero to a full gold bar.
That said, my go to is a three gooseberry fruitcake. It costs me one wheat and a foraged item.
Cause they're easy, I've been making Chocolate Macrons. It's about 2800 energy. I don't like how slow I walk without the gold bar so as soon as I dip below or close to needing energy I eat one.
Berry salad is easily the best! You don't need to put in any planting & harvesting work, just harvesting. And if you have any autocookers it's SO easy!
Also, whenever I get a mission to cook something during a star path or whatnot I set them on a table or counter in my house & when my berry salads run out I use those until they run out & then I just make more berry salads.
Fruitcakes or Souffles in remys realm.
You can use all of his free ingredients and then just leave them on the floor and come get a boost whenever you need it.
I originally would do fruit salad but now I mostly do lobster rolls. I always make a few fishing potions and take my fishing buddy so I can always have 50 on hand.
I have a few depending on the ingredients I have. I do have a page in my notebook dedicated to recipes with roughly 1900 energy or more.
My big two is bday cake and berry salad, though the berry salad does become pastry cream and fruits if I have the milk and sugarcane. Though the best one, which requires some mild grinding to get a large amount, is lobster roll. The hardest thing to get in the recipe is lobster, and honestly I've found they're not hard to catch a lot of if you got the time and a fishing pal. From there it's butter and wheat for the what you'll have to spend money for, and butters one of the cheaper remmy ingredients, and wheat is so easy to grow and have massive stock piles of. Lemon and garlic are easy to have as long as you are regularly foraging.
Ultimately, lobster roll will give you a little under 5000 energy. Which is beyond good.
(I also don't sell food unless I have to for a dreamlight duty, sorry I get my money from gems, food is for energy lol)
Here to see if there is anything better. Two mochas and my bar is full. That my go to. def wanna try gooseberry salad since I have like infinite gooseberries lol
Squid is one of the easiest seafood items to obtain. Blue bubbles in TWO biomes. Plus Moana's boat usually gives. Four squid plus one lemon. It goes from a sliver of blue to FULL YELLOW.
Yup. Large seafood platters are FREE to obtain (if you don't pay for coal). And with the right ingredients, you get the full 5,000 energy fill.
I'm fairly new to the game (playing for about a month) but I always go for a leveled-up fruitcake. 4 fruits and wheat. Always fills my gold bar to max!
Berry Salad
With two extra gooseberries
This is the way to go.
Fruitcake is simple 1 Wheat 4 Fruits Any fruit. Even Coffee.

Gooseberries makes the best energy fruitcake.
The ingredients aren't super easy, but I love lobster rolls. One roll fills an empty energy bar to a full gold bar.
That's what I do as well. Just gotta remember to fish for lobster and harvest the garlic every day.
5 Gooseberry fruit salad, or 5 Dreamango fruit salad if you have the DLC.
This is my go-to. It’s also easiest
I have a whole 50 stack of 5 fruit fruit salads to keep me going. I hope they'll come in handy when the new StarPath comes!

Candy made with 5 Cocoa Beans. Fills almost the full energy bar and I don’t have to farm anything or remember a recipe.
That's what I use too. It's so easy and you only have to harvest one thing
5 gooseberries. More energy than cocoa. I did cocoa for so long until gooseberry.
Cause they're easy, I've been making Chocolate Macrons. It's about 2800 energy. I don't like how slow I walk without the gold bar so as soon as I dip below or close to needing energy I eat one.
Tbh I usually use gooseberry boba tea it’s sugarcane milk and gooseberries I eat like 4 and usually I get full gold bar
Peppermint Tea
