Swimming is one of the most intensive exercises you can do. You burn more than 878 calories per hour while swimming.
As you can imagine, you can work up quite an appetite when swimming while on a boating trip. After all, you need to refuel all those calories you burn up! That is where boating snacks come in.
Snacks for boating should be totally stress-free to pack, but super impactful when you are out on the water.
So, what are the best healthy boat snacks to refuel you after a day on the water on a pontoon boat? Below, we go over some of our favorite snacks to pack for a day out on the water with a pontoon boat.
Beef Jerky
Beef jerky is packed with protein and flavor. It is perfect for a boat ride because jerky isn't perishable, even if it gets a little wet. It is also easy to store and handle, and to eat one handed if you are busy doing something else.
Easy-to-Eat Fruits
Easy-to-eat fruit is another of the best snacks for boating. By easy-to-eat, we mean either pre-cut or ready-to-eat.
Apples are a particularly wholesome ready-to-eat fruit snack to bring. This fruit is rich in nutrients to fuel your body and brain for a day in the sun.
Trail Mix
This snack may have gotten its name from the trailblazers who invented it, but it is also a super delicious boat snack. Make sure to choose a trail mix with a variety of healthful ingredients, including:
Nuts
Seeds
Dried fruits
Nuts and seeds offer plenty of healthy fats and protein to keep you feeling full. Meanwhile, the fruits offer a sweet bite and fiber for ultimate satisfaction.
Chips and Salsa
Chips and salsa may not be the most filling snack on this list, but it is one we can all agree on. Even the pickiest eaters love a salty chip dipped in fiber-filled vegetable salsa.
If you do want to bump up the nutrition factor, bring along some guacamole too. Guacamole is full of healthy fats that will keep you feeling full and satisfied no longer how long you stay out on the water.
Granola Bars
Another hiking staple, granola bars are great boat snack ideas, as well. Just make sure to avoid granola bars that contain chocolate or other meltable ingredients. That way, you won't have a mess on your hands when it is time to chow down.
PB&J Sandwiches
Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches have been around forever for a reason. PB&Js are full of nutrients, super filling, and delicious.
Try using wheat bread to really pump up the satisfaction factor. Also, make sure to get peanut butter that is not filled with sugar and other unhelpful ingredients.
Follow these two tips for a sandwich that is just as much of a meal as it is a snack.
