Camping Food Packing List
Nourish Your Spirit & Nourish Your Body.
This list is compiled of all my surefire favorite food basics that I’ve used on my camping trips.
All the food combinations possible, with just a few of these ingredients will assure you plenty of room for creative cooking freedom!
(no matter where you’re at)
Basics:
- Salt & Pepper
- Garlic Powder (& Fresh Garlic)
- Other Spices you prefer
- Large Bottle of Avocado Oil (better for cooking than Olive Oil)
- Peanut Butter
- Jelly
- Vegetable Broth
- Balsamic Glaze
- Oatmeal
- Chia Seeds
- Honey
- Coconut Milk
- Clarified Butter
- Soy Sauce
- Red Wine Vinegar
- Ketchup & Mayo Packets (easier storage/no refrigeration)
- Eggs
- Walnuts, Cashews (for Vegan Dishes)
- Cans of Chick Peas (Garbanzo Beans)
- Cans of Black Beans/other Beans (you prefer)
- Can of Peas (great with fried rice)
- Nutritional Yeast (Vegans need their cheese & B12 too)
- Cans of Favorite Soup
- Trail Mix
Fruits, Vegetables, & Staples:
- Lemons
- Tomatoes
- Cucumber
- Watermelon
- Onions
- Potatoes
- Large Bag of Rice (think Costco)
- Large Bag of Quinoa
- Bread
- Avocados
- Box of Mac & Cheese (I use GF)
Of course there is more than this. However these are in my opinion, the best options… because none of them need refrigeration. Mushrooms wilt fast, as do many other lovely fruits and veggies with just a little bit of heat. The ones listed above are much more sturdy than others.
Some great dishes & accompaniments you can make with some of the ingredients above:
- Fried Rice (my favorite)
- PB&J Sandwiches
- Avocado Toast
- Cucumber Salad
- Quinoa Burgers
- Hummus
- Cooked Chick Pea Snack
- Oatmeal Breakfast Pudding
- Vegan Mayo
- Vegan Cheese
- Stir Fry
- Fried Potatoes (hash browns with sauteed onions)
- Avocado, Tomato, & Onion Sandwiches
And much more.
Of course if you wanted something else it’s very easy to run to the store. Just buy one or two more items to use right away, to add even further to the list. Like buying some mozzarella and basil to create a Caprese salad. With these basics covered on this list, you can make just about anything. Only needing to buy one or two more things at the store depending on what you feel like at the moment (so you don’t waste any food). Makes life easier.
I hope that this list leaves your belly full, and satisfied, while enjoying being deep within the forest.
Till next time!
