10 Easy Hiking Snacks To Make. Going on a hike soon? Here are 10 easy hiking snacks and backpacking food to make. These all look so delicious and will be a great addition for your next trip #hikingsnacks #backpackingfood

Hiking is definitely one of my favorite activities.

I love exploring new areas, going on exciting adventures, and seeing beautiful views, all while getting in a fun and enjoyable workout.

For a good hike, though, you also need hiking snacks. Whether I’m hiking, biking, or something else, I always bring a snack. Lately, I’ve been making more homemade hiking snacks. Homemade ones are great for a lot of reasons, and one of them is that homemade hiking snacks usually taste better and are healthier than what you may find at the store.

Plus, making them at home means you will probably even save a good amount of money. Hiking snacks at the grocery store are not cheap!

The hiking snack recipes mentioned in today’s article can be great snacks for other times too – not just hiking!

    One thing I learned is that when I eat mixed nuts or Cashews unsalted, it not only reduces my food cravings, but it also helps me to increase intake of Fiber, contribute to losing weight, and helps me stay on track with “eating right.”

    These all sound delicious! Definitely something I would make for my little guy. Although I don’t hike much, these are great to have at home 😊

    I personally prefer to take items that don’t melt or get sticky. Fruit is a great snack and it’s portable. Sandwiches made from crackers or wraps.

    I love that your selection of snacks all have protein which helps me avoid overeating and gives continued energy. Plus I would rather take a little time to make food that doesn’t have all the preservatives that prepackaged snacks usually have. Can’t wait to try these…

    How about healthy snacks with no added sugar? Is it possible, ‘Merica?
    Or do we love our metabolic disease and obesity that much? We can’t even post healthy hiking snacks that are whole foods like nuts and apples that have fiber. Always that added sugar. It’s an addiction.
