Snacks

When selecting snacks, it is a good idea to focus on sources of protein and complex carbohydrates. Dried fruit and nuts are excellent choices, whether eaten alone or in a trail mix or gorp mixture. Chocolate covered peanuts or other nuts are acceptable for candy lovers, unless it is so hot that the candy will melt and make a sticky mess. Beef jerky and protein bars are also good choices for backpackers. For crunchy snacking, Dr. Kracker whole grain crackers and snack chips are a nutritious option.
