Healthy Snacks for Maine Adventuring By Tammy Nonni, CINHC W


e certainly do not have to leave our beautiful state to 


and summer brings many opportunities for many outdoor adventures. You can take a quick hour break or go on a day trip or weekend adventure to explore all that Maine has to offer. From the ocean to the lakes and rivers to mountains and numerous easy or challenging trail hikes, there is something for everyone!


Do you enjoy getting out on the water?


Check out kayaking with Portland Paddle or Scarborough Marsh Audubon Center where you can rent kayaks and go on guided adventures.


If you’re more of a land adventurer,


you’re in luck because hiking, running and biking trails are everywhere! Look at the many preserves, trails, parks, shoreways and mountains in York County, Casco Bay, Midcoast, Acadia National Park, Downeast and Northern Maine.


The opportunities to get outside and


engage in activities is endless. You just need to explore your options and then make a plan to do it!


For me, planning my food is a big deal


when I’m off adventuring because I want to make sure to sustain my energy. Here are some of my favorite go to snacks.

Brunswick and the grain free granola and assorted trail mixes from Grandy Oats, made in Hiram are delicious, healthy options. A R.e.d.d.

An all-natural alternative to electrolyte water to stay hydrated is Ultima Replenesher electrolyte powder that comes in single servings so it’s easy to just pour into your non-plastic water bottle.


I also usually pack cashews, sweet


potato chips, berries or an apple. If it’s a longer day, I’ll add raw veggies, nut butters and hard-boiled eggs. The trick is to keep it simple and prepare. When you nourish yourself with fresh air, exercise and healthy food your body will thank you for it. We have to take care of our bodies for it is in- deed the only place we have to live.
