My Favorite Paleo Camping Recipes

So recently I went camping. Yes...winter camping. We have a camper though...thank goodness... Obviously I had to track down some recipes for the trip. I wanted some that you usually had when you went camping. With Paleo there is sooo many recipes! Some people think we don't eat anything and yet I don't know why. We get the privilege of having food that is as good as the bad stuff, but it doesn't make you sick or feel guilty. So here is this great list!

                                            My Favorite Paleo Camping Recipes




                                                       Maria Mind Body Health's No Bake Energy Bars
                        I didn't do the chocolate topping on this, but it still tasted great! Remember to soak nuts overnight!


                                                   I love this recipe because you can flavor it how you like!

                                                         Salt and Vinegar Almonds by Shay Mitch Blog
                                                                    Anything...Salt...Vinegar...Yum!

                                                                      Marshmallows by Keto Diet App
                                              I didn't do the chocolate topping on these, but they were great!
                                                      These aren't campfire friendly, but they do melt!

                                                  Homemade Graham Crackers by All Day I Dream About Food
                                     I just did the normal paleo subs for these. I didn't have molasses so I managed.
                                                      I think these were my favorite out of all recipes!


These aren't ones I got to try, but I will in the future. Not all of these are paleo, but you can make the regular subs for them.



I thought these would be cool to try!


These use peanut butter, but you could use another paleo friendly nut butter.
                                           

That's all! I hope you enjoyed this list! These aren't all the recipes I saw that would be great for camping, but maybe I will make a second list one day! (>-<)/

Here is my camping board on Pinterest!

DIY Beet Powder

Beets are great! Why? They are good for you! They have lots of vitamins and minerals and many uses. So what is beet powder and how do you use it?

What it is 

Beet powder is made from dried beets and is ground up to a fine powder. Mine isn't as fine,but it works.

How to use it

You can use it in smoothies or shakes for a nice boost. My favorite way to use it is as a natural dye.
Just add it straight or put it in your wet ingredients
and let it soak. Keep adding more to get the desired color. Just remember this is different from store bought dyes.

 DIY Beet Powder

 What you'll need:
Choose how many beets you want. I used scrap peelings from the outside.
A dehydrator or oven
jar or container to store it in

Instructions:
Slice your beets thin or make sure the peelings are thin enough. (Not all of mine were thin)
Spread them in a pan or in your dehydrator so that they are not in pile.
Follow the instruction with your dehydrator or use your oven on the lowest temp.
Check on them and when they are crunchy take
them out.*See note below*
Let cool then run through food processor till fine.
Put in jar or container and voila!


*Note*
Some of mine got crunchy before other pieces so I took them out and finished what was left.
Make sure that they completely crunchy and there is no moisture or it will mold in the jar.
Don't put in jar while hot or mold will set up from moisture.


I had just a tiny bit soaking to see how it is.
