What to Pack for Several Days of Camping and Hiking

If you're looking forward to a few days spent outside camping and hiking, you need to be prepared. This includes not only your camping equipment and supplies but also a cooler full of food that is not only nourishing but also easy and practical to transport.

Here are some suggestions about what to pack in your cooler for a few days' worth of camping and hiking trips:

  1. Use insulated lunch bags – light and easy to carry

  2. Frozen organic edamame, strawberries, and blueberries to use as ice packs

  3. Wholly guacamole in packets

  4. Grass-fed, hormone, antibiotic-free sliced chicken with Ezekiel bread for a sandwich and avocado as a "mayo" substitute

  5. Organic tuna in packets

  6. Organic freeze-dried veggies or fruits

  7. Fennel or mini cucumbers

  8. Hemp and chia seeds

  9. Raw unsalted almonds or walnuts

  10. Large water bottle to stay hydrated

  11. Larabars have only 3 ingredients. Use them as a backup plan for energy and fiber

  12. Hardboiled eggs for an easy breakfast and snack protein

  13. Mixed veggies in a ziplock bag for snacking (sweet peppers, baby tomatoes, etc).

  14. Egg muffins to easily reheat in foil.

  15. Individual-sized cups of cottage cheese

  16. Apples and oranges for snacks (no need for refrigeration)

So pack your cooler and enjoy Betr meals on the go! Many Betr recipes can be made ahead and reheated over a campfire stove/grill, such as sloppy joes, egg roll in a bowl, sweet and spicy chicken wings, and chili.

Work with your coach to choose the best options for your trip and don't forget to have fun!
