Hacks for Snacks

Like already mentioned – I love lists. Here we go with one more – it’s about some nice and some weird tipps for meal plans, protein sources for you as an active person, healthy snacks for the road or the airplane or what to eat before surfing.

For sure you can find something to try out at home. Enjoy!

Freeze Coconut Water Cubes for Post-Surf Rehydration
Pour coconut water into ice trays, freeze, and add to smoothies or water bottles for an instant hydrating boost post-surf.

Add Chia Seeds to Your Water Bottle for Sustained Hydration Chia seeds absorb water and release it slowly, so toss a teaspoon into your water bottle to stay hydrated longer.

DIY Nut Butter Pouches for On-the-Go Protein
Use reusable silicone pouches to carry single servings of homemade almond or peanut butter for a quick snack after surfing.

Roast Seaweed in Batches for a Week of Salty Snacks
Make your own roasted seaweed snacks by baking nori sheets with a sprinkle of olive oil and salt. Store them for an easy post-session snack.

Batch Cook Grain Bowls for a Week’s Worth of Energy
Prepare a large batch of quinoa or brown rice at the start of the week, then mix with different toppings like avocado, roasted veggies, or beans for quick meals.

Use Avocado as a Mayo Substitute for Instant Creaminess
For a healthier sandwich or wrap, mash avocado instead of mayo—it provides the same creamy texture but with way more nutrients.

Make a “Surf Snack Box” with Healthy Dried Foods
Keep a box of surfer-friendly snacks (dried fruits, nuts, seaweed snacks) in your car or surf bag for easy, nutritious post-surf refue

Turn Leftover Smoothie into Popsicles
Pour any leftover smoothie into popsicle molds and freeze for a refreshing post-surf treat.

Freeze Pre-Cut Smoothie Bags
Portion your favorite smoothie ingredients into freezer bags (banana, spinach, berries) so you can quickly blend them after surfing.

Prep Overnight Oats in Jars for Quick Surf Mornings
Make a batch of overnight oats with different toppings (berries, seeds, coconut) for grab-and-go energy before early morning surf sessions.

Stay Fueled, Stay Stoked!

Bringing the right healthy snacks for you (and maybe your surfing mates) can make all the difference in your energy levels, endurance, and overall performance. Whether you’re catching early morning waves or paddling out for a long sunset session, having the right foods to fuel surfing sessions ensures you stay strong and focused in the water.
