5 Non-Perishable Vegan Camping Food Ideas

1. Peanut Butter & Jelly Sandwich

First on our list is a classic favorite - the humble peanut butter and jelly sandwich. This tried-and-true staple is perfect for camping trips, as it requires no refrigeration and is easy to pack and transport. Simply grab a jar of peanut butter, a jar of jelly or jam, and a loaf of bread, and you're good to go. While bread will perish, you can also add the PB&J to crackers or another carb source. Plus, the combination of protein and carbs in the peanut butter and jelly will give you a sustained source of energy for all your outdoor activities.

 

2. Trail Mix

Next up, we have trail mix - the ultimate snack for hikers and campers. Trail mix is a delicious and healthy combination of nuts, seeds, and dried fruits that provides a satisfying crunch and a boost of energy. You can customize your trail mix to include your favorite nuts and fruits, or try out pre-made options like the classic GORP (good old raisins and peanuts) or a more adventurous mix like mango and chili.

 

3. Canned Beans

Beans are a great source of protein and fiber, and there are so many to choose from - think chickpeas, black beans, baked beans and kidney beans - the list goes on. Simply pop the can open of your bean of choice, heat them up over a campfire or portable stove, and enjoy a hearty and filling meal. You can even add some spices or hot sauce to customize the flavor to your liking.

 

4. Vegan Jerky
