Don't forget to incorporate fi ber into your diet. Throw a
bag of baby carrots, snap peas, celery sticks, etc., along with
to-go cups of hummus or peanut butter into your bag. Fruits
such as apples, bananas and easy-to-peel mandarin oranges
are portable and quiet to eat.
•
If all else fails, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches
require no refrigeration. They are packed with protein and
heart-healthy fats that will keep you feeling full.
These tips can apply to hunting from a boat or a layout
blind.
Layout Blind
Layout blinds don't allow much room for movement, so
food must be packable, require little prep and not be messy.

Aside from granola, energy and candy bars, homemade
energy bites can off er a quick pick-me-up. See page 42 for a
no-bake energy bites recipe.
•
Wraps and pita sandwiches are alternatives to traditional
sandwiches. Pack pickled hardboiled eggs to eat on the side –
they are fi lling, high in protein and they keep well.
•
Snacks: Dehydrated and freeze-dried fruit complement
trail mix. Fruit leather and bars are also tasty.
