Trail adventurer Emma Sonberg has a new blog, Emma Sonberg’s Trail Cooking, where she shares practical, flavorful, and portable recipes to make hiking, backpacking, and camping meals easier, healthier, and more enjoyable.
Batesville, AR, December 12, 2025 — Emma Sonberg is excited to announce the launch of her new blog, Emma Sonberg’s Trail Cooking. The site offers outdoor enthusiasts tested recipes and tips to make hiking, backpacking, and camping meals easier, tastier, and stress-free. Years of experimenting on trails have helped Emma create meals that are light, nourishing, and highly practical.
“Outdoor meals should give energy without adding stress to the cooking process,” said Emma. “I wanted to create recipes that are simple, portable, and enjoyable so people can focus on their adventure instead of worrying about food.”
The blog features Emma Sonberg’s Backpacking recipe guide, which includes a variety of snacks and meals designed to keep hikers fueled. From chewy granola bars to electrolyte drinks, the recipes are made to travel well and provide lasting energy. Each one has been refined through real-life trail testing to ensure flavor and practicality.
One of the most popular recipes is the No Bake Gluten-Free Protein Balls. These protein-rich snacks are easy to make, require no cooking, and fit neatly into an airtight container. “These protein balls have been a favorite for many hikers,” Emma shared. “They are convenient, tasty, and keep you energized during long trails.”
Emma also emphasizes the importance of Packing Light, Eating Well. On the trail, calories are constantly burned, so meals and snacks need to provide energy without adding unnecessary weight. Balancing pack weight with sufficient nutrition is especially important on longer hikes and multi-day backpacking trips. High-energy, lightweight foods like nuts, dried fruits, jerky, and dehydrated meals help maintain stamina while keeping packs manageable.
Water planning is equally critical, as it is the heaviest item hikers carry. Emma encourages adventurers to plan portions carefully, track what they bring, and experiment on shorter day hikes to find the right combination of food and hydration. With this approach, hikers can stay fueled, reduce strain, and enjoy their trails more fully.
Emma’s storytelling makes the blog unique. She shares personal experiences from her adventures, including a 2,193-mile Appalachian Trail thru-hike. Recipes are paired with anecdotes and practical guidance, helping readers feel confident as they explore the outdoors.
For anyone looking to enjoy meals on the trail without fuss, Emma Sonberg’s Trail Cooking provides tested recipes, helpful tips, and inspiration for every outdoor adventure. Readers can explore recipes, try new meals, and prepare for their next hike or camping trip with confidence.
