10 Healthy Campfire Foods To Keep You Warm By The Fire This Winter!

Now the temperatures have dropped, you may be planning to spend some of your dark evenings in front of a bonfire. Whether it be just a get together with friends or while you’re away on a camping excursion.

However, campfire food isn’t known for being healthy!

We advise you to steer clear from marshmallows, as they are loaded with sugar and most snags and burgers are full of calories.

But fear not! We’ve pulled together a selection of our best Healthy Mummy meals that are IDEAL to make over a campfire, and that are healthy and nutritious too. Yippee!

10 Healthy Campfire Food Ideas

Sausage and Veggie Tray Bake

Sausages are a campfire must! But cheap snags from the supermarket are not going to cut it if you are trying to lose weight following the 28 Day Weight Loss Challenge. So head to the butcher or even the gourmet or organic section at the supermarket and choose some lean, high quality, low fat sausages. Add with roasted pumpkin, zucchini and onions for an easy winter meal.
