Hi! Wondering what snacks/foods you bought at Coop for hiking? I'm going in October for a few days (different region though so I can't steal these hikes!), but we are going to spend 1-2 days hiking (Mt. Pilatus and Mt. Rigi) and wondered what would be good to bring on the trails?
Some Coops are bigger than others, but the ones in our mountain towns were pretty small. For hikes we bought bread, PB, and jelly and made sandwiches every single day. We always had a bag or two of chips to munch on. They had some protein bars in some locations, but nothing impressive, and you could get fruit but it was super expensive. A hunk of parmesan is a surprisingly good trail snack! It's stable out of the fridge and decent in protein (11g per ounce). There is NO shortage of cheese in Switzerland. 😂 Plus you can find nuts and seeds and trail mix at the Coop pretty easily.
I also packed my own DAILY BARS from home and (most important) had a Kreatures of Habit high protein oatmeal every single day. EVERY DAY. I'd make it in a washed-out jelly jar as overnight oats, or eat it for breakfast before the hike. I packed 10 and ate them all.
Also BUY ZIPLOC BAGS. They came in SO clutch for packing our own trail food.
The way I sprinted to that BOGO Daily Bar offer!!! So stoked to see KOH in my Sprouts. Also, thanks for planning my future Switzerland trip for me 🤣
BOGO is legit!!! I just KNOW your company will approve that 2-week PTO request 😂
