Best Food for Backpacking Trip

September 26, 2021 by Talia Ben Itzhak

Choosing good food to take on a backpacking trip is very important because it will even affect your morale while hiking in the wilderness. You have to ensure that you have enough energy and strength to keep up with your hiking buddy or buddies, but make sure that you do not carry too much weight. If you are thinking of buying lightweight food for your backpacking trip, then here is a list of some very good choices.

Instant Meals

If you are looking for easy to prepare food, then one of the best options is instant meals. Instant meals come in packages and can be prepared in a few minutes.

Instant noodles are one of the best options if you want to buy instant meals. They generally come packed with vegetables and sauce that is good for your health too. Rice is cooked, then vegetables are added to it before being served hot.

Editorial content

That way you can get all the nutrients you need from the food without any complications. One of the best instant noodles you can buy is Maggi. It contains many nutrients and it also tastes very good. It comes in different flavors so there are options to choose from if you want less spice or prefer spicy food.

Energy bars/Granola Bars

These are very popular among hikers because they provide enough energy for several hours of hiking and they also come in many different flavors. If you buy granola bars, make sure that they contain a lot of complex carbs and lesser fats.

These are not just great for your health but will also help give you the energy that is needed to complete the trail without any issues.

Candy Bars

If you love something sweet, then candy bars and energy bars are a great option. You can eat them when you feel like having something sweet or if you want extra energy while hiking.

Energy drinks

If you do not have any other options, then these are the best choice for hikers because they contain calories from carbohydrates and sugars that will give your body the energy it needs to hike for a longer period of time.

Canned foods

Canned foods are another option you can choose from if you do not want to carry large amounts of fresh food. Of course, they cannot provide the amount of vitamins and minerals that fresh food does but it is a great way of ensuring your body gets enough calories and nutrients during long treks.

Fruits and canned vegetables are the best choice when it comes to canned food because they contain fewer calories compared to other canned products like meat, fish, or dairy products.

There are many other backpacking foods that you can choose from, but these are some of the best choices. You can list out your preferences beforehand so that you can buy what suits you best.
