Today’s post comes from one of my besties, Allison. I am so happy that she will be taking over the blog for the day with yummy recipes and ideas for good snacking on the go!
Hey! It’s Allison from Food for Healing. I write about a few things on my blog; food, some fitness and whatever life throws at me.
Whitney was looking for some guest posts to fill in some time while she was away camping, and of course since we are biggest loser besties, I had to write a guest post!
Since she is going on a camping trip, I figured what better post to do other than camping/backpacking/hiking snacks. I plan on doing some backpacking and some camping this summer myself.
These snacks are easy to make, stow away nicely in your bag and are delicious!
First up is Trail mix. Trail mix is one of the easiest things you can create yourself at home, you don’t need any special kitchen tools or gadgets.
Here’s the mix I made up:
-Almonds
-Dried Cranberries
-Raisins
-Sunflower Seeds
-Pepitas (pumpkin seeds)
-Chocolate covered sunflower seeds
Next up is another simple snack, but you do need a food processor.
Date Brownie Bar
-1 cup almonds
-10 pitted dates
-approximately 1 tbsp cocoa powder (or to taste)
-1/3 cup mini chocolate chips
Process almonds until finely chopped, don’t process too long or it will start turning into butter.
Add your pitted dates and cocoa and process until well combined.
Roll out and mix in chocolate chips.
Make any shape or size you wish!
Other great dehydrated snacks are dried apple rings
fruit leather, which can be made in soo many different flavours!
mango slices
And another great little treat, dark chocolate covered coffee beans (bought in bulk)
What type of snacks do you like to bring when you go camping or backpacking?
Thank you so much for reading, and thank you Whitney for having me be a guest poster on your amazing blog!
