Camping Snacks – Don’t Forget Guacamole!

Preparing fresh camping snacks, like guacamole, can help bring variety and a taste of home to your trip’s menu.

Making guacamole while camping is easier than you’d think!

How to make Guacamole while camping:

Tools Needed:

• 1 cloth (to wrap fruit for storage)
• Resealable plastic bags (to mash ingredients in)
• 1 knife (to slice fruit)

Ingredients Needed:

• 3 Avocados From Mexico
• 1 Lime

1. Pack It

   Wrap three nearly ripe Avocados From Mexico and one lime in a cloth and carefully load them into your pack. You will also need resealable plastic bags and a knife. The cloth will protect the fresh food from bruising if rough terrain jostles your pack during your campsite commute or pre-picnic hike.

2. Mash It

   When you are ready for a guacamole camping snack, remove the avocados and the lime. Slice the avocados lengthwise and remove each of the pits. Inside the avocado skin, dice the avocados into small squares, then scrape the pulp back into a resealable plastic bag. Us the flat edge of your knife to mash the avocado inside the bag.

3. Enjoy It

   Cut into your lime lengthwise and squeeze the juice over the mashed avocado. Enjoy your fresh guacamole camping snack as a spread on a prepacked sandwich or as a dip with crunchy baby carrots or apple slices.
