violetta Posted December 25, 2015 Share Posted December 25, 2015 I am trying to find food that keeps me warm while skiing for many hours. We usually stop for lunch and that is the time for getting cold. I usually eat a whole pile of cheese and nuts for my snacks, those are mostly out. I have thought of olives, turkey slices, baby food vegetables, almond butter, compliant trail mix, but none of them thrill me like cheese does. Any other ideas out there? I could buy a little thermos and make some soup but I really don't like to carry much weight or waste much time. I already carry a thermos for tea (used to be hot chocolate).

Whole30 Certified Coach littleg Posted December 25, 2015 Whole30 Certified Coach Share Posted December 25, 2015 Cheese is my favorite for hiking too . W30 wise I like bacon, cold burgers <-- weird I know, coconut butter. Chicken stock with lots of salt would be good too. I have found salt is what can make or break things for me so make sure to salt things well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
violetta Posted December 29, 2015 Author Share Posted December 29, 2015 I made roasted brussel sprouts and purple and sweet potatoes. That worked really well. Nice and compact and delicious. Great for the trail with a little olive oil on them. It might be my favorite skiing food. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
violetta Posted January 5, 2016 Author Share Posted January 5, 2016 Unfortunately, I can't find brussel sprouts now that Christmas is over. Where do they go? It that the country's total supply? I haven't found a great veggie alternative for cold weather, broccoli and cauliflower just don't cut it. I tried one of those pureed baby food squash packages, yuck! My sweet and purple potatoes are good to a point but I want something a little less carbs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators ultrarunnergirl Posted January 5, 2016 Moderators Share Posted January 5, 2016 How about bacon or prosciutto, wrapped around a date or dried fig stuffed with an almond or sunbutter? It will keep just fine in the cold and is super flavorful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeadowLily Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 If you want to kick it up a notch, try jerky made with cayenne pepper. That'll warm you up without carrying loads of food. I grew up downhill/cross-country skiing and skied for hours and miles on little other than water. That was then and this is now. Jerky and water take me for miles. Try cayenne pepper in hot water with Macadamia Nut Oil, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
violetta Posted January 8, 2016 Author Share Posted January 8, 2016 I haven't found any compliant bacon locally and the stuff on line is way too expensive. I did take a package of Applegate bacon out of the freezer which didn't have sugar but haven't found any in the stores. I am trying not to eat dates as that awakens my sugar cravings. I used to eat Larabars on the trail but stopped because of the sweetness but Epic bars taste terrible to me. The only compliant turkey jerky ( don't like red meat) I have seen was so expensive, about 7 dollars for a couple ounces, couldn't do it! I did try a Tanka bar that wasn't too bad, pre whole 30, but it has sugar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
