7 Essential Snacks to Pack for a Hike

Posted on March 21st, 2017

An essential part of every backpacker’s preparation is having good snacks for the trail. But finding items that are tasty and packed with energy isn’t always easy. Other hiking requirements add to the drama of finding the right snacks – packable and lightweight, shelf stable, and ready to eat come to mind.

Characteristics of good snack options include those that have plenty of carbohydrates, healthy fats, and protein. Here are a few healthy options:

  1. Jerky
  2. Nuts
  3. Dried fruit
  4. Snack bars, such as Clif
  5. Fresh fruit – apples and oranges are super easy!
  6. Crackers with spread such as peanut butter
  7. Water – don’t forget to hydrate
