Simple bites for the outside.

There’s something special about food that travels with you. These are the snacks and little trail meals that keep me going - easy to make, even better to eat outside, and always a small joy to look forward to along the way.

Slow Mornings.

For the quiet starts - when the air still feels soft and the world hasn’t fully woken up.

  • Fresh, bright, and a little earthy - made with carrots, apples, oranges, lemon, and ginger. I make it early, pour it into a jar, and sip it slow before heading out. It’s light, energizing, and exactly what I crave before the day begins.

  • A simple, packable breakfast that feels like comfort in a jar. I mix oats, cinnamon, apple, and maple syrup the night before - easy, cozy, and ready to grab before sunrise.

  • There’s something about tearing into fresh bread by a lake that just hits different. I love bringing a small piece of homemade focaccia - salty, chewy, and perfect for slow starts.

Midday Pause.

When the sun’s high and I finally get to breath

  • Fresh slices of apple or orange with something salty on the side - my version of trail balance.

  • Layered with whatever vegetables I have on hand - light, refreshing, and easy to eat by the water.

Something Sweet.

Small bites that carry me through long days outside - simple, a little sweet, and always satisfying.

  • Quick, simple, and the perfect trail pick-me-up.
