The 7 Best Pokémon-Inspired Snacks For Your Next Adventure

This article is written by a student writer from the Spoon University at Maryland chapter.

In case you haven’t heard about it yet, there’s a recently released app called Pokémon Go on the market that uses real locations to encourage its users to travel far and wide to collect Pokémon.

Its existence is no doubt the literal manifestation of the ultimate Pokémon fantasy for kids (and young adults) everywhere. But while you’re busy battling every day to claim your rightful place and catch ’em all, you’re going to need some sustenance to keep you going.

I mean c’mon now how many of you are guilty of going somewhere unreasonably far and out of the way just to catch something? Cause I know I am.

Here are seven snacks inspired by the Pokémon universe that you can bring with you on your next adventure. Have fun and “remember to be alert at all times.”

If you’ve been a fan of Pokémon since the show started airing in the 2000s, you’d remember Brock’s iconic cream stew that reoccurred whenever Ash and friends needed a meal break.

#Spoontip: While cream stew can be easily bought, here’s a fanmade recipe to try for authenticity.

7. Apples and Berries

Not sure why, but Pokémons seem to love their fruits. Sub in Cheri, Pecha and Aspear with some cherries, raspberries, and grapes to get the same feel.
