Breakfast camping recipes can be as quick and simple as you want, or you can prepare a large feast for your entire family or group of campers. Depending on the type of equipment you have, you can make a quick breakfast sandwich that doesn't even require a campfire, or you can prepare a dutch oven egg bake that can feed six or more people.
Eggs are a morning favorite, and many breakfast camping recipes include eggs as the main ingredient. Egg breakfasts make a great energy-providing meal that will fuel you throughout your day outdoors.
Egg breakfast camping recipes are also a great choice for the campground since the number of eggs can easily be altered to feed as many or as few people as you desire. Here are some tips to make your camp cooking breakfast egg dishes as good as they can be.
Add a little water to your eggs when you whip them up, or some milk if you have that available. This will make your eggs extra fluffy.
When scrambling eggs, be sure to stir constantly to avoid burning them. Also, if you are using a dutch oven to bake an egg dish, be careful to monitor the temperature of the dutch oven and not burn the bottom of the eggs. Burnt eggs will ruin the taste of your entire dish.
Be creative and try your favorite ingredients with your egg dishes. Including vegetables such as green peppers or mushrooms will make your egg breakfast healthy and tasty.
To avoid bringing extra cooking equipment with you to the campsite and to skip any timely preparation, whip your eggs before you leave home and store them in a portable container.
Breakfast camping recipes, including egg breakfast dishes, can be found online. Taking a quick peek at some easy breakfast camping recipes before you set out on your camping trip will allow you to have some tasty dishes in mind and ready to prepare on a hungry morning.
Bringing along the right ingredients, you can prepare an adequate breakfast in just minutes. If you would like to avoid taking with you bulky cooking equipment, try breakfast camping recipes that are simple sandwiches but will still provide you with a warm meal. For example, to prepare a hot breakfast bagel, all you need is some aluminum foil.
Open up a bagel and add your favorite deli meat, such as smoked turkey. Top with cheese, close the bagel, and wrap in aluminum foil. Placing the wrapped bagel near the campfire will produce a warm sandwich with melted cheese, perfect for a camping breakfast.

Banana Smoothie Recipe With A Twist
Bananas are a staple ingredient in smoothies. Not a staple ingredient in my smoothies, but the general public seems to believe one must be included for some reason (probably this growing tumor of misinformation I keep talking about, where anybody who read an excerpt on Wikipedia, suddenly declares themselves expert on the subject).
But what I've also found, when people have approached me confused and surprisingly intimidated about smoothie recipes, is how little imagination the general public has. Of course, there are those folks out there who exploit the popularity of smoothies, knowing that people look for them, and compile 1000 combinations of 3 different fruits, and Sha-Zaam you've evidently got a smoothie recipe, they usually have not been made or tasted, but you can find that kind of crappy information anywhere and everywhere. Usually for a very cheap price.
People who opt for healthy living I'd like to think are smarter and a bit more savvy than those individuals who choose to eat instant-heart attack foods by the truckload. And people who are more open minded to being healthy, usually are more creative in their pursuits (personal experience, not clinical study), thus I am unsure what the hesitance is for this limitation of thinking. There are no rules here. You are in charge. Break Free of Smoothie Recipe Chains ... o.k toooo much carrot juice, bit of an admitted overkill.
Here's such an example of a banana smoothie recipe different than the usual train of thought. Try it tonight, or now would be even better.
Combine in a blender:
Two bananas, half to three quarters of a cup of your favorite soy milk, depending on the consistency you prefer. (I like vanilla flavored for this, but chocolate, or plain would be just fine), one tablespoon of honey, and I also like to throw in a small handful of chocolate chips. You can go with a all natural carob kinda thing, but I eat milk chocolate ones. (I was blessed with a high metabolism, and eat healthy, so I won't see any pounds, and in moderation, eat it).
Now raise that glass to your lips and..dri... No. Don't drink it silly. Put it in a container that is safe for cold temperatures and FREEZE it. Poof! Just like that you have an alternative to traditional ice cream, and an easy homemade ice cream recipe that is best for a number of reasons, including: YOU controlled ALL the ingredients to, and YOU are completely in charge of the flavor. Low calorie ice cream, especially if you choose no chips (of course, there's plenty of substitutions, or you can top it with something healthy, when you decide to eat it).
Embrace new things and live healthy!
