Every time we went on a Girl Scout hike, we packed GORP. What is GORP you ask? Good Old Raisins and Peanuts.

It’s that simple.

It’s that easy to make GORP.

GORP Makes A Great Snack For Hiking

Peanuts and Raisins are a great combination, that give you protein and energy, so they’re perfect for the trail. And so easy kids can make it themselves!

I also like to add M&M’s or chocolate chips, but they are optional.
That’s it.

How to Make Gorp

• Raisins
• Peanuts
• M&M’s or Chocolate Chips (optional)

Dump together in a plastic bag and shake. Then divide it into small snack bags to make packing easier. Keep some bags of it in your diaper bag or purse for hunger emergencies.

 

Or experiment and make your own varieties by adding Craisins or different varieties of nuts. I might try shredded coconut next. You can make it your own, but to make GORP the old fashioned way, you only need raisins and peanuts.
