When you’re exploring the great outdoors, having the right snacks can make all the difference. Whether you’re hiking, paddling, or simply enjoying a day in nature, your body needs fuel to keep you energized and focused. The best trail snacks are not only nutritious but also easy to pack and enjoy on the go.
In this blog post, we will go over how to fuel your adventure with simple and nutritious trail snacks when accessing properties through CLAS. Let’s dive in!
Trail mix is a tried-and-true favorite for outdoor adventures. Combine nuts, dried fruit, seeds, and a touch of dark chocolate for a perfect balance of protein, healthy fats, and natural sugars. Customize your mix with your favorite ingredients to suit your taste.
Tip: Pre-portion your trail mix into reusable bags or containers to avoid overeating and reduce waste.
Whether you’re exploring a serene hiking trail or a private forest, a handful of trail mix is the perfect energy boost to keep you going.
Skip the store-bought bars and make your own! Blend oats, nut butter, honey, and add-ins like chia seeds or dried cranberries. Press the mixture into a pan, refrigerate, and cut into bars for a delicious trail snack.
Tip: Wrap individual bars in parchment paper for an eco-friendly and mess-free solution.
Apples, oranges, and bananas are easy to pack and loaded with natural sugars for a quick energy boost. Pair them with individual packets of almond butter or peanut butter for added protein and healthy fats.
Tip: Choose fruits that are easy to transport and don’t bruise easily in your backpack.
Cut up carrots, celery, and bell peppers, and pair them with a small container of hummus. This combo is rich in fiber, vitamins, and plant-based protein, keeping you full and satisfied.
Tip: Keep hummus cool by storing it in a small insulated container with an ice pack.
Imagine enjoying crisp veggies and hummus while taking in the views from a private lookout point. It’s a snack that pairs well with peaceful moments.
For a more savory option, pack slices of cheese with whole-grain crackers. Choose hard cheeses like cheddar or gouda, which can withstand being outside for a few hours without refrigeration.
Beef, turkey, or plant-based jerky is a protein-packed snack that’s lightweight and easy to carry. Look for options with minimal added sugar and preservatives for a healthier choice.
Tip: Jerky is a great snack for long hikes or exploring larger properties where you’ll be on the move for hours.
Pack single servings of your favorite nut butter in reusable silicone pouches or buy pre-portioned packets. These pair well with crackers, fruit, or just a spoon!
Tip: Nut butter is a versatile snack that provides quick energy for spontaneous adventures, like a last-minute walk along a private trail.
