Whether somewhere in Italy in a tent, at festivals or in the luxury version with a motorhome – camping is one of the most popular and cheapest forms of travel. Especially during this confusing time, when you may not be allowed to spend your holiday in a crowded all-inclusive hotel in Turkey (and apart from that, in our opinion you should rather avoid such holidays anyway).
This year, for example, camping is likely to enjoy even greater popularity. Camping in Austria in particular can be so complex and beautiful that you don't have to think beyond the country's borders.
But what is part of a well-balanced camping breakfast without overpacking? Can I even have a healthy breakfast while camping? Today we will clean up with the most important questions and give you some breakfast ideas so that nothing stands in the way of your camping holiday – maybe we will no longer say camping, but directly glamping;-).
Preparation is key
In general, camping is like this: if you are prepared, you will have fewer problems during the trip. This is not only the case with rainwear but also with breakfast. What do you like? You should find out for yourself. And you should make sure that it can be difficult to find fresh rolls, for example.
Our recommendation as a basis would be a porridge or maybe a muesli . So you basically have something healthy that you can prepare fresh without much effort! Our apricot-strawberry spelt porridge or our legendary nut fruit Urkorn Muesli are perfect for this! But even with our Lower Carb Sport Granola , nothing stands in the way of an energetic day!
Porridge is really a superfood and extremely healthy. This way, the regional grain can really score points over its entire length. Not only do they have a lot of nutrients ready – they also help with some diseases.
Porridge lowers your blood sugar and cholesterol levels. Plus, you're at a lower risk of cardiovascular disease if you eat oatmeal regularly. In addition, a hot breakfast helps with camping to have a perfect start to the outdoor day.
Reach back to local food
Especially if you are in other countries, it is not advantageous to bring "fresh" food from home. Fruits, fruits, and vegetables should always be purchased regionally in the respective country. There are often weekly markets that offer high-quality food. And what could be better than fresh fruit to enhance your morning?
Especially regional fruit is not only usually healthier – you also help the environment. When you buy locally, you support the economy of the country and the farmers themselves. In addition, you save yourself long delivery routes and the process of industrial production, which is also considered an environmental polluter.
Freshness is not always equally time-consuming
Preparing fresh products in the morning is not always an incredible effort! This is a misconception that often prevails. But especially when it comes to breakfast, you can fall back on fresh products without having to upset everyone. How about overnight oats, for example? You can easily prepare these before going to bed and leave them overnight. We will also discuss this in the next paragraph, but nuts and seeds in particular stay fresh for a long time and are perfect for any breakfast.
Seeds and nuts save your day
Seeds and nuts are the power start to your day. If you already consume nuts for breakfast, you have a head start all day long. Nuts are not only extremely healthy, they also keep you full for a very long time. Seeds are also very healthy and are suitable as a topping in every conceivable form of breakfast.
Why are nuts so healthy? Nuts are full of valuable fatty acids that are very healthy for humans. This is how you prevent cardiovascular diseases and take care of yourself during your morning culinary excursion. They also contain many vitamins – calcium, magnesium, vitamin B. And that in such small foods!
Variety adds momentum to your breakfast
Our final tip is: don't always eat the same thing! It's like everything in life. Variety brings spice to life. So maybe a day of cereal, a day of crunchy, and another day of porridge. Or perhaps our new, delicious porridge smoothie bowl?
