Just because you are hitting the road in your RV does not mean you have to leave healthy eating behind. With a little planning and the right ingredients, your next campfire meal can be both nutritious and full of flavor. Whether you are watching your diet or simply looking to fuel your outdoor adventures with better options, these healthy campfire recipes are perfect for the RV lifestyle.
Grilled Chicken and Veggie Skewers
These skewers are a perfect mix of lean protein and fresh vegetables. Start by cutting boneless, skinless chicken breasts into bite sized pieces and marinating them in olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and a sprinkle of herbs. Thread them onto skewers with colorful veggies like bell peppers, zucchini, red onion, and cherry tomatoes. Grill over the campfire until the chicken is cooked through and the veggies are lightly charred. It is a simple and satisfying meal that is both healthy and full of flavor.
Foil Pack Salmon with Lemon and Asparagus
This easy foil pack recipe brings healthy fats and fresh flavor to your dinner. Place a salmon fillet on a sheet of foil, add a few asparagus spears, a couple lemon slices, and a pinch of garlic. Wrap tightly and cook directly on the campfire grill. In just fifteen minutes, you have a heart healthy meal with no cleanup.
Sweet Potato and Black Bean Hash
For a filling and protein packed meal, try a campfire skillet hash. Dice sweet potatoes, onions, and bell peppers, and sauté them in a cast iron skillet over the fire. Once the potatoes are soft, mix in drained black beans and a little cumin. It is a great plant based option that can be served as a main or a hearty side.
Campfire Quinoa Bowls
Cook your quinoa ahead of time and bring it along in a container. At the campsite, warm it in a skillet with grilled veggies, chopped spinach, and a drizzle of olive oil. Add grilled chicken, tofu, or avocado for protein. This recipe is flexible and full of fiber, protein, and essential nutrients.
Fruit and Yogurt Parfaits
For a healthy breakfast or light dessert, layer fresh berries, granola, and Greek yogurt in small mason jars. Chill them in your RV fridge until ready to serve. They are easy to prep ahead and a great way to satisfy your sweet tooth while sticking to your health goals.
