trail snack

Portable hiking fuel

Trail snack is food carried on hikes or outdoor excursions—portable, calorie-dense items like nuts, dried fruit, or granola bars that sustain energy without requiring preparation.

The term sometimes extends to any grab-and-go snack eaten during physical activity: I packed some trail snacks for the bike ride.
