Ideas for "camping snacks"

Here are some ideas for practical, but no less tasty, snacks while camping:


Colourful vegetable skewers

Place pieces of fresh vegetables such as peppers, carrots, courgettes, cherry tomatoes and onions on bamboo sticks. Serve a dip of hummus or other sauces alongside.


Tuna pasta salad

Boil pasta (crickets, snails, etc.), add canned tuna, sliced cucumbers, sliced red onions, cherry tomatoes, season with pepper and salt and drizzle with lemon juice and olive oil for a great taste.


Boiled eggs and avocado slices

Hard-boil the eggs in advance, peel them on the spot and serve them with avocado slices seasoned with salt and pepper and drizzled with avocado oil.


Oatmeal with dried fruit and nuts

Mix the oatmeal with dried fruit such as raisins, cranberries or apricots and add chopped nuts. Just before eating, top with yoghurt for extra freshness.


Protein snack with Greek yoghurt

Greek yoghurt is a rich source of protein. Add a spoonful of honey, granola and chopped milk chocolate with no added sugar and enjoy a nutritious and filling snack.


Vegetable soup in a thermos

Make vegetable soup in advance, pour it into a thermos and take it with you. You can add sliced carrots, kohlrabi, celeriac and kale to the soup. This warm soup is perfect for warming up after a long day outdoors.


Mini pies with vegetables and cheese

Make mini pies with puff pastry, a filling of your choice of vegetables (e.g. spinach, courgettes, tomatoes) and add some grated cheese. Wrap them in foil or put them in a plastic container. They taste great cold too. If you fancy a taste of the sea, you can also add salmon.


Crispy chickpea snacks

Roast chickpeas in the oven with a dash of olive oil, salt and seasoning to taste. Add different flavours such as curry, paprika or Mexican spices as desired.


Tortillas with chicken and vegetables

Fry the chicken in avocado oil then remove from the pan and save. Fry the sliced vegetables, add the fresh avocado and sour cream, add the chicken and fill the pre-baked tortillas.

When camping, it is important to choose food that preserves well, is easy to prepare and provides enough energy for outdoor activities. It is also a good idea to have some raw fruit such as apples, bananas or oranges for refreshment and necessary vitamin intake.


What to prepare for the mountains?


Water is, of course, a must. Hydration in the mountains is essential. The sun, tiredness, thirst can always get to you and it''s a good idea to take enough water with you. Something to eat is also highly recommended, as we lose a lot of energy while walking and can quickly become hungry and weaker.
