Wherever We Land

When it comes to camping meals, I love incorporating fresh and delicious ingredients to keep things light and flavorful. Fruits are not only refreshing but also versatile and easy to pack. Here are my top five favorite fruits and how I plan to add them to our camping adventures with Snatcher!

1. Strawberries
   Strawberries are an absolute favorite of mine! Their sweetness and juiciness make them a treat on their own or as a topping. I plan to use them in a quick camping breakfast by adding sliced strawberries to oatmeal or yogurt. They also make a great addition to a fruit salad for a midday snack.

2. Blueberries
   Blueberries are small but mighty, packed with antioxidants and a burst of flavor. I like to mix them into pancake batter when we make campfire pancakes. Another idea is to use them in a simple dessert by layering blueberries with whipped cream and crumbled granola.

3. Bananas
   Bananas are a camping staple because they’re easy to pack and can be used in so many ways. I plan to grill them for a warm dessert or slice them onto toast with peanut butter for a hearty breakfast. Plus, they make a great energy-boosting snack when hiking.

4. Apples
   Apples are crisp, satisfying, and long-lasting, making them perfect for camping. One of my favorite ways to use apples is to cook them over the campfire with a little cinnamon and honey for a cozy, comforting dessert. I also like adding sliced apples to a campfire skillet with sausage for a savory-sweet combo.

5. Pineapple
   Pineapple adds a tropical twist to any meal! I love the idea of grilling pineapple rings and serving them alongside grilled chicken or adding diced pineapple to salsa for fish tacos. Their bright, tangy flavor always livens up a meal.

Incorporating these fruits into our camping meals not only keeps things tasty but also adds a burst of natural sweetness to our outdoor adventures. I’m excited to keep experimenting with these ideas and more as Snatcher and I continue exploring the great outdoors with our van, Glo!
