How To Eat Healthy While Camping

Freezing Food Is Beneficial

While you won’t have a refrigerator while camping, you can still keep some food cold for a little while, even for a few days. For instance, you can pre-cook some pasta sauce, including meat if you so desire, and put it in a plastic bag or container before putting it in your freezer at home. When you are packing food the morning you are going to leave, pull the frozen pasta sauce from the freezer and put it in your bag! The more frozen stuff you have, particularly if there are large portions, the cooler you will be able to keep your food. You will also be able to keep everything cool for longer! This idea is quite similar to how you would go about defrosting pasta sauce and similar foods at home.

Make Some Trail Mix

Snacks are perhaps the easiest thing to keep healthy while camping. Specifically, the most iconic camping snack would be trail mix. Trail mix is typically a mix of a variety of nuts, sunflower seeds, and dried fruit. You can, of course, purchase premade trail mix, but this does not give much control over what goes into it, and there could be preservatives or unhealthy ingredients included as well. Instead, go to a bulk food store to purchase the individual ingredients, such as peanuts, cashews, raisins, sunflower seeds, dried papaya, and banana chips. Making trail mix yourself not only ensures it will be healthy, but it also guarantees you will like every component.
