Fruits
Fresh fruit is an excellent source of nutrients, and has a higher water content along with better fibre-to-sugar ratio. This prevent drastic sugar spike in the trekker, while promoting satiety. However, remember to choose light fruits that are strong enough to withstand the jostling in your backpack. Avoid banana, strawberry, grapes or cherries that bruise easily.

You can pack dried fruits too, but remember to practice portion control as they are loaded with sugar. Also drink water to compensate for the lack of it in the dehydrated fruits.
Peanut Butter
Peanut butter is definitely a tasty and nutritious treat that provides necessary fats and proteins, along with fibre and flavour to keep you feeling full and energised.

Remember to choose one that is made from all natural peanut to avoid taking in hidden sugars. Spread your peanut butter on crackers, pitas or fruits.
Beef Jerky
Beef jerky packs a great source of protein, which is used to build up tissues and muscles. These thin strips are easy to pack, non-perishable and a quick way to refuel. Add them to soups or noodles to make it into a more sustainable meal in longer trek.
