A weekend of camping doesn’t have to mean a complete derailment of those healthy eating habits you’ve mastered at home. Ok, you can sneak a cookie or two we won’t tell, but the main meals can remain wholesome and healthy – and we’re here to help you accomplish that. An alternative to s’mores and hot dogs, these 4 healthy camping meals will be so delicious you won’t even know you’re eating healthy.

Vegetable Packed Frittata

There is nothing better to get your day started than a protein packed breakfast. A colorful display of veggies gives this dish a fun look that even kids can get in to. Loaded with peppers, squash, broccoli and onion this frittata only gets better with the addition of lean ground sausage. It’s a hearty, easy to make breakfast with all the good kind of fat that will give you the energy to play outdoors all day. We originally found this on Honestly Delicious and have made just a few tweaks to make it camping friendly, although our recipe is no longer paleo compliant.

Campfire Sandwich

A sandwich is a lunch standard. But it can get boring, fast. This campfire sandwich looks to kick up the flavors with a toasty sandwich filled with your favorite things. This sandwich gives you options, and lets face it we all love options. We’d suggest picking up some good bread, spinach, basil, tomatoes and mustard. From there let your imagination run wild. Pack on your favorite meat, cheese and veggies. To get it nice and toasty just baste the bread with olive oil and wrap the sandwich in tin foil. Let the fire do the rest. This idea hit us, after reading the Never Home Maker blog – they’ve got some great ideas!

Tex Mex Easy Foil Packet

Who knew eating healthy could be easy and delicious! We have a thing for Mexican food – it’s kind of an obsession. So when camping we usually try to make a Mexican dish, but to be honest it’s usually filled with not so healthy things. They’re delicious but not healthy. This Tex Mex Foil Packet would rate pretty high on the healthy scale. With veggies and chicken and some great Mexican spices this dish is tasty and super easy to make. Feel free to omit the cheese at the end to keep that healthiness going. This recipe has been featured in a few places but we came across through The Kitchen Magpie. We made a few changes to make it a little more fresh, but if you want to use all canned food it is delicious.

Grilled Pineapple Kabobs

So how do you go camping and not make a dessert? But if you’re trying to make it a healthy weekend your normal camping desserts like Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup S’mores or Salted Caramel Apple Dips will be frowned upon. But we have a solution – Grilled Pineapple Kebabs. So we’re not claiming it is the healthy dessert in the world it is drizzled with honey and butter but it is a better alternative to the s’more. This delectable dessert is a perfect way to wind down after a day of hitting the trails. Plus it won’t make you feel like your day of adventure was wasted by one calorific dessert.
