16 Snacks That Can Take a Hike

We're the kind of people who have to eat every three hours, and Pure Leaf Iced Tea is here to help with that.

Today: Put these snacks in your pack.

Being hungry is the worst. Being hungry while on the top of a mountain, isolated somewhere in the woods, or at a swimming hole quite literally off the beaten path? That’s the worst of the worst. While it might be tempting to stuff your pack with pre-made granola bars, homemade hiking snacks are where it’s at. Whether it’s savory granola you eat by the handful, cold grilled cheese (it's awesome, trust us), or classic trail mix, here are 16 portable snacks that can take a hike. 

Muffins taste better in the wilderness and/or higher altitudes.
