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:
-
Use insulated lunch bags – light and easy to carry
-
Frozen organic edamame, strawberries, and blueberries to use as ice packs
-
Wholly guacamole in packets
-
Grass-fed, hormone, antibiotic-free sliced chicken with Ezekiel bread for a sandwich and avocado as a "mayo" substitute
-
Organic tuna in packets
-
Organic freeze-dried veggies or fruits
-
Fennel or mini cucumbers
-
Hemp and chia seeds
-
Raw unsalted almonds or walnuts
-
Large water bottle to stay hydrated
-
Larabars have only 3 ingredients. Use them as a backup plan for energy and fiber
-
Hardboiled eggs for an easy breakfast and snack protein
-
Mixed veggies in a ziplock bag for snacking (sweet peppers, baby tomatoes, etc).
-
Egg muffins to easily reheat in foil.
-
Individual-sized cups of cottage cheese
-
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!
