1). A Veggie Tray –
Although a veggie tray may seem bland or plain, it’s a healthy option for a meal when you’re camping. Believe it or not, a veggie tray can be a full meal or a side dish.

You don’t have to, this is just an example, don’t judge us! So bring a veggie tray next time you go camping.
2). Scrambled eggs –
Eggs are super healthy for you and contain a lot of essential vitamins and minerals, especially protein. All you need is a pot, a pan, or skillet, some people even use aluminum foil. Scrambled eggs are an excellent option for a healthy quick, and easy meal. So bring some eggs next time you go camping, just make sure and bring a cooler because spoiled eggs are not so good for you. Just a little humor for you!
3). Sandwiches –
Sandwiches are also easy to make and you can add whatever you want to them. we sometimes will make a ham sandwich and roast it over the fire for a little bit, then you have a crispy ham sandwich!
4). Oatmeal –
Oatmeal is another great option for a healthy camping meal for breakfast, lunch, and dinner if you’re on a budget. Cheap, easy to make and usually no cooking is even involved in making oatmeal. Just warm up some water over the fire for 5-10 minutes and boom! You’ve got a quick, easy, and healthy meal for the whole day if you’d like!
