There's nothing better to motivate your children to go out hiking than to involve them in preparing snacks or meals that are simple, fun and appetising. As well as giving your child the pleasure of scraping out the bowl, this activity is also a great way to spend time together, as a family, before and during your hike. And because nutrition plays a vital role, whether you're hiking for just a few hours or a few days, here are 6 recipes to help you escape the boredom of endless energy bars or ham sandwiches.
Preparation + cooking time: 10 min + 0 min
Ingredients for approximately fifteen bites:
- 1 cup of oats~
- ½ a cup of chocolate chips (black, preferably)~
- ⅓ a cup of honey~
- ½ cup of ground nuts and seeds~
- ½ cup of peanut butter~
- 1 tea spoon of vanilla sugar
Optional: - For an even tastier recipe, you can add dried fruit or even some of your child's favourite cereals.

- 1 small white marshmallow~

(you will need scissors to cut your marshmallows. You will also need a skewer).
1/ Cut a marshmallow in half for the head
2/ Stick it to a large marshmallow using the condensed milk. Make sure you put the condensed milk on both sides of the marshmallows. Wait for a few minutes for it to stick well
3/ Stick in the pretzels to form the legs
4/ Stick the small marshmallow at the back to make a tail

Ingredients for 2 people:
