Here you’ll find a whole bunch of hiking snack suggestions – all sorts of relatively healthy and easy options for the trail, most of which you can pick up at the local grocery or make in your kitchen.

Instead of mixing everything up, you can just bring along a baggie of pecans or dried mango. If you have picky kids they might prefer this anyway.
Your standard grocery store granola bar is full of fat and sugar and lacking in fiber and protein. So, do take a good look before purchasing granola bars.
