Imagine pulling up to your luxury log cabin on a beautiful morning. Sure the air is fresh, and the sights are fantastic, but did you bring tasty snacks for your hike? Trekking along a natural trail is invigorating, and you’ll need plenty of energy-packed foods to keep you moving throughout the day. Be aware of some of these healthy snack ideas to take along on your next hike that will keep you on the trail from sunrise until sunset.

Your Hiking Food Packing List

1. Peanut Butter

One of the favorite foods for kids across America is also an energy-dense superfood! Packed with protein and carbs, peanut butter is an ideal food to take on a hike. A jar and some slices of bread won’t take up much packing space, or leave your bread behind and opt to eat the gooey treat by the spoonful or on apple slices.

2. Frozen Fruit

If your log cabin is equipped with a fridge, try leaving different fruits inside the freezer overnight while you sleep. You’ll wake up to find frozen delicacies that will make an excellent treat along your hike. Try freezing grapes and cherries for a crisp snack, or frozen apple slices for a heartier addition to your lunch.

3. Cereal & Milk

Packing foods you enjoy will make your hike much more enjoyable, so why not choose your preferred cereal with a splash of ice-cold milk? Use the refrigerator in your log cabin to freeze your milk before you leave. A small covered-bowl filled with your favorite cereal will fit comfortably inside your pack along with a small carton of milk. When the time comes to take a break, you’ll be the envy of everyone as you enjoy a delicious bowl of your favorite cereal!
