For Wild Northerner
Northern Ontario is an outdoor playground 365 days a year. Biking, canoeing, hunting, ice fishing, sledding and camping are just a few of the activities Northerners enjoy rain or shine (or snowstorm).
Such outdoor activities may not be considered workouts to steady gym-goers; however, being from the region myself , I can attest that blueberry picking is in fact a workout that requires a little fuel (besides the occasional handful of berries).
It can be challenging to find convenient, healthy snacks that you can bring along to keep you from eating all of your friends’ beef jerky. What you want to look for are snacks that are backpack or pocket-friendly, nutrient-dense and most importantly, tasty. Lucky for you, I have what you’re looking for, especially if you’re trying to reach your health and wellness goals. The featured DIY snacks are packed with fiber to keep you full longer, healthy fats to keep you satiated and provide you with anti-inflammatory omega-3’s, and natural sources of sugar to fuel your journey.
Conquer your next open-air adventure with these easy, healthy, portable snacks.
