Hiking snacks part 2: granola & other stuff

A roundup of hiking snacks. 15 recipes for granola, trail mix, healthy cookies, and roasted chickpeas.

Did you just look at that title and think “surely she could have said something more descriptive than ‘other stuff'”? Because I did. If you have a single term that encompasses trail mix, roasted chickpeas, cookies, and blondies, please let me know. Anyway! If you missed part 1 of the hiking snacks roundup, the bar and ball recipes are there. The recipes for granola and all the other stuff I just listed are here.

Granola and trail mix are fairly obvious hiking snacks; granola is granola bars in a different shape and trail mix has the word “trail” right there. Both usually contain lots of nuts and dried fruits, thus providing the energy density I talked about in the first post. Cookies and blondies are less obvious hiking fuels; I could tell you these are “healthified” recipes – which is true – but honestly, sometimes things don’t go as planned and you just need a cookie. Bring emergency cookies.

  4. All of these look incredible! When I go hiking, I like something portable and easy to eat while walking, so a protein bar is usually my go-to! Id like to have bananas, but I don’t want to carry around a peel. Great roundup!

      Thanks! I don’t do bananas either, just too easy to bruise/squish fruit in a backpack.
