Healthy Food for Summer Vacations

Summer is here, along with outdoor adventures, such as summer camp, backpacking, hiking, camping, etc… Since so many non-perishable foods are processed and unhealthy, what healthy foods can you take on vacation that do not require refrigeration? 

Here is a list I put together for a client going to summer camp, who did not want to compromise all the amazing health improvements she had recently gotten as a result of eating a healthy diet. 

• Bars, such as Larabars, granola bars, etc…
• Natural beef jerky
• Tuna or salmon in packets
• Fruit roll ups
• Granola or trail mix
• Peanut butter or almond butter
• Raw honey
• Whole grain gluten free bread (can use the nut butter and honey for sandwiches)
• Whole grain gluten free crackers
• Raw aged cheese (if you are not dairy free)
• Fresh fruit that does not require refrigeration, such as apples, bananas, etc…
• Applesauce cups
• Avocados (mash with a pinch of sea salt) and a jar of salsa served with organic corn chips
• Homemade gluten free muffins will keep for a few days without refrigeration
• Cut up veggies (carrots, red bell pepper, celery) and hummus will keep a couple of days without refrigeration
• Date Candies from my Vibrant Health cookbook
• Power Bars from my Vibrant Health cookbook
• Yogurt will keep a couple of days without refrigeration

What would you add to this list?
