What to Eat Between Teahouse Meals
Teahouse food is great, but you need energy on the trail. Buying snacks on the mountain is expensive (a Snickers can cost $4). Bring your own to save money and fuel your Everest trekking adventure.
Bring your favorite bars from home. You need quick sugar hits on steep climbs like the Namche Hill. Chocolate boosts morale when the going gets tough on your Mount Everest expedition approach.
Almonds, walnuts, and dried mango provide slow-release energy. They are lightweight and nutrient-dense. Perfect for the long days walking towards the Mount Everest summit view.
Flavor powders (like Nuun or Gatorade) mask the taste of iodine water and replace salts lost to sweat. Staying hydrated is easier when the water tastes good during your Everest trekking days.
Bring about 1-2 snacks per day. You don't need a grocery store in your backpack. Just enough to get you to lunch.
