Snacks

[stuartbert two hats]

I don't do snacks at all. I don't want to fill up and miss a single festival meal.

I do however, take a bag of Morrisons pies for the trip down.

Where are you camping?!

Family camping. They’ll never suspect a thing. 

[prestonmike]

I've got pringles, Haribo, cereal bars, flapjacks, tinned fruit and a couple of packets of biscuits

i used to take a stove and packs of noodles and pasta but never actually ate any of them, the food on site is so good you'll never bother making anything

[dotdash79]

We are taking some ote flapjack bars and a few bits E.g wine gums maybe some crisp. 

[prog seller]

Any healthy folks might be interested in these: 

 

The strawberry and pineapple ones are my faves.

 

[gigpusher]

I only take very little snacks to make sure nobody gets hangry. Some sweet things vegan jellies and Werthers originals and some graze flapjacks and some graze bbq mix for salty snacks. Will have couple of packets of crisps back in the caravan as well.

In the mornings

Eat Natural Bars, the dark chocolate and cranberry one. Good fuel.

Soreen malt loaf, again, good fuel

For day/night time

Walkers sensations Thai Sweet Chilli

Salt and Vinegar KP nuts

Snickers bars

Lidl are selling bags of these for 79p so I've brought a few of them and some dried fruit to keep me going during the day

[CantWaitForGlasto22]

Minstrels. Chocolate that doesn’t melt. Tried and tested!!! 

[balti-pie]

Obligatory stroopwaffel mention 

 

dry roasted peanuts, snickers bars, fizzy cola bottles, lollies and great big piles of fruit for me - and peach iced tea. Bloody love the stuff, could drink pints of it quite happily.

Think of the children!  
 

Imagine them running round your tent at 6 in the morning after emptying your shaker on their shreddies.

No so practical in a warm tent.

Just put them with your beer simples.

[TheGChild]

Bananas and Belvita for breakfast (until I stray from the tent to find something more substantial and tasty)

Spicy chilli nuts and Sour cream pringles for beers snacks

Haribo to keep the sugar up

[deebeedoobee]

Always have some morale mints in the pocket. Extra strong mints are best. Particularly like them when I find them a few months on and they’ve gone slightly soft.

I need to do my food shop soon which got me thinking about what snacks to take, what are your go to snacks? 
 

Rice crispie squares - great for a sugar hit when you wake up and sustenance until I hit somewhere for breakfast. There is is a salted caramel flavour as well now.

salted nuts and  original Pringles - for when I get back to camp for my pre sleep feast  

Haribo maoam   for on the go sugar

Protein > Sugar! 

Pepperami & jerky, 

Cereal bars for carbs/sugar

Ah, but foil wrapped, under tent... 😍

[Beaver89]

Ah just the thread I needed! Some very good ideas in here which I shall be exploring.

Wanted more ideas beyond the biscuits, maltloaf (soreen) and haribo I usually take. I don't take too much as prefer to eat what is on offer but a few things for the campsite are always needed - much like the boxed cider we take too.

Pepperami

ooh, that has my interest.. will it be ok left out of the fridge for a few days? it's I think it would be..?

[Ryan1984]

I got one of those multipacks of fake Haribo sweets from Lidl. Maple granola bars, rice krispie squares and boxes of raisins and crisps should see us through.

[FloorFiller]

A lot of stuff has been covered, but I always bring some of these kinds of things so I can have a whiff of something healthy for breakfast in the mornings to wash away the previous nights filth:

 

 

Oh, and also, Poptarts…

Got a multi flavour box of these to share with our son at the festival.  Might be disagreements over some of the flavours that we all like.  A game changer in the world of crisps

Yeah they rarely refrigerated in supermarkets. Pretty sure I’ve taken them to every G I’ve been too. 

[banananey]

Just the thread I needed for inspiration.

I always bring cereal bars/soreen for a breakfast then buy lunch + dinner to cut costs.

Crisps are always good for a midday snack fix.

[One Tonne Baby]

Because of this thread i've purchased Squares and Minstrels. Also gone for a Sore banana loaf, which is immense.

I'm hoping the fruit stall that i happened upon in 2017 is still there.
