What Food To Take Canoeing?

Dr. Divyasri N Canoe Trip Meals 101 offers tips on planning canoe camping meals with lightweight, non-perishable, and high-energy foods. These meals should be easy to prepare, delicious, and provide enough energy for paddling adventures. Some popular float trip food ideas include baked potatoes, fresh fruit, dried fruit, preserved fish, mountain bread, and granola bars.

There are three basic options for meals for wilderness canoe trips: real food (non-dehydrated), pre-packaged dehydrated meals, and DIY dehydrated meals. Some popular breakfasts, lunches, dinners, desserts, and snacks include individually-wrapped protein and granola bars, dried fruit, nuts, trail mix, peanut butter on tortillas or Rye Crisp, summer sausage, beef jerky, Powerade, peanuts, Slim Jims, Mozzarella sticks, bananas, or snack tray with cheese, crackers, pepperoni, salami, and more.

Lunch options include pitas, wraps, bagels, croissants, pepperettes, kielbasa, and more. Fresher dairy, meat, or seafood can be eaten on day 1 and 2. To freeze fresh proteins, consider using Jodhpur lentils and Kashmiri spinach or Madras lentils and Jaipur vegetables. On the sandbar, snacks like tuna and crackers, fruit kebabs, chips, cookies, and vegetables like cucumbers and carrots can be packed. Ryvita or stone thins with hummus can be prepared with oil and water, and beef sticks or jerky, salami, and other ingredients can be added for a satisfying lunch.
