Whip up these energizing treats to stay fueled while hiking, biking, or camping.

Preparedness is key when you’re gearing up for any outdoor adventure. And what better way to prep for a day of fun than by packing the right fuel, like these power snacks made with JUSTIN’S® nut butters and peanut butter cups? They’re easy to whip up and enjoy on the go, whether you’re hiking, biking, climbing, kayaking, or camping.

Bring these cookies along on your next bike ride—solo or with a group. They’re sturdy, so they won’t crumble in your backpack, and the dried fruits, seeds, and JUSTIN’S® Vanilla Almond Butter make for a tasty snack that’ll keep you fueled for the whole ride. Makes about 18 cookies

¾ c. old-fashioned (not instant) oats

5 tbsp. unsalted butter, melted and warmed

½ c. JUSTIN’S® Vanilla Almond Butter

Per serving: 150 cal, 8 g fat (3 g sat), 3 g protein, 36 mg sodium, 17 g carb, 9 g sugars (4 g added sugars), 2 g fiber

Enjoy this smoothie in the morning before your hike, or pour it in an insulated bottle to sip on the go. To prep the night before, place the bananas, dates, ginger, cinnamon, and salt in a mason jar and leave it in the freezer overnight. Then, in the morning, dump it into your blender and add the water, yogurt, and JUSTIN’S® Classic Almond Butter. Blend, garnish, and enjoy! Makes about 2½ cups

3 tbsp. JUSTIN’S® Classic Almond Butter

6 pitted medium dates (if using a jumbo variety, like Medjool, reduce to 4)

2-inch piece ginger, thinly sliced

Chopped roasted almonds, fresh banana slices, chia seeds, turmeric, and/or cinnamon, for garnish

Per serving: 400 cal, 14 g fat (2 g sat), 22 g protein, 196 mg sodium, 56 g carb, 35 g sugars (0 g added sugars), 8 g fiber

This twist on a classic is ideal to take on a climb because it’s relatively tidy to eat and compact enough to fit in your pack, no refrigeration necessary. Makes 1 Roll-Up

2 heaping tbsp. JUSTIN’S® Classic Almond Butter

2 tbsp. jam, and/or thinly sliced strawberries, crushed raspberries, or other desired fruit

Per serving: 470 cal, 25 g fat (4 g sat), 12 g protein, 374 mg sodium, 57 g carb, 24 g sugars (19 g added sugars), 8 g fiber

Nothing says camping like s’mores. Our fun take on the classic can be made in the oven or over campfire coals (see the tip below), and it’s built inside a banana for a fruity twist. Makes 4 banana boats

8 JUSTIN’S® Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups

⅓ c. finely crushed graham crackers

Per serving: 400 cal, 15 g fat (7 g sat), 6 g protein, 169 mg sodium, 64 g carb, 40 g sugars (25 g added sugars), 4 g fiber

These yummy little no-bake “oars” are perfect to pop in your mouth between rapids or swells. They’re hearty but small enough to munch on the go without having to pause for a refuel. Makes about 18 oars

½ c. walnuts, very finely chopped

½ c. JUSTIN’S® Classic Almond Butter

Per serving: 89 cal, 8 g fat (1 g sat), 3 g protein, 54 mg sodium, 4 g carb, 1 g sugars (.5 g added sugars), 1 g fiber
