Backpacking Food Basics: My Favorite No-Cook Lunch Idea

As an ultralight backpacking dietitian, I’m often asked for no-cook lunch ideas. In this short video from the Trans Catalina Trail, I share one of my favorite lunch options that’s quick and easy to make at home and on trail, provides loads of nutrition, and is inexpensive to prepare.

Here’s the hummus that I use while hiking – Harmony Valley Hummus Mix https://amzn.to/3jRDiKp (affiliate link)
