What is the best camping snack possible? The one you can always have on hand. If you love trail mix, energy bars, granola, and so forth, then these or any other no cook camping snacks that are available in healthy options are great choices. See, I can’t tell you what the best snack for camping trips is because there is no overall best camping snack, it’s a matter of preference. 

But what I can tell you is about a healthy camping snack (and hiking and travel and everyday snack) we always bring with us: dried fruit. And specifically Solely’s dried fruit gummies or strips, because they are made with the simplest, cleanest ingredients possible (so we can feel good about what we’re feeding the kids) and because they taste great, so kids actually eat them. Ravenously.

Solely’s snacks are literally just fruit. (Well, fruit and 100% fruit-derived vitamin C. Which is good for human bodies, for the record.) And one pouch or strip delivers enough of an energy boost to keep the family moving and keep the “I’m hungries” at bay. 

Which is good, because a hungry little kid is a recipe for trouble. At best, you’ll have complaints. At worst, screams. Often, moaning and whining. And sometimes the whole gamut will be delivered. Now, if you’re home when the hunger (or hanger) strikes, no problem, right? You surely have fruit, nuts, yogurt, crackers, maybe even a cookie if the situation is bad enough – you’re stocked, in other words.

But out there on the trail or at the campsite or in line at a store or whatnot, a hungry kid can be a disaster. Except you prepared for just that moment by bringing along some snacks like… Solely, you say? Good move, and I’ll give you three reasons why.

First, as noted the only ingredients in these products are fruit. The second reason is that, as noted, the portions are just right; think 70 calories in a packet of Organic Mango & Orange Whole Fruit Gummies or 80 in most fruit jerky strips, which is just enough to fuel up a small body. And third, seriously, Solely’s fruit gummies are outright delicious. I sneak a piece or two each time I open a pouch and I’ve been known to eat an entire pouch myself in all of two bites. 

Long story short, if you’re looking for a tasty, healthy camping snack that kids will love and no parent is going to worry about in terms of nutrition, you’re looking in the right place with Solely.
