Go Picnic!!!

Decided to buy these after a suggestion from a fellow Riddle Sister!

I had done a post before about Oscar Meyers lunchables for adults (they aren't really called that, but I think that's what they are). I then got an message from a fellow Riddle sister who suggested these. They are all natural to go lunches, and they taste really good! I have been trying to eat as organically as possible. Food tastes better when it is organic and it seems to make me feel better all around.

What really counts is what’s packed inside each handy, compact GoPicnic box. Every nutritionally balanced, shelf stable meal combines a satisfying mix of protein, fiber, and fruit, and each bite, from crackers to hummus to applesauce to delectable dark chocolate, is full of wholesome ingredients. That means no trans fats, no high fructose corn syrup (HFCS), no added monosodium glutamate (MSG), and no artificial flavors and colors...whatsoever.

Now here's the really cool part: GoPicnic meals need no refrigeration - they're shelf-stable entrees. As long as an individual food item is unopened, it's good until its individual expiration date kept at room temperature. These boxes contain tasty, portable, high quality food on-the-go with clean ingredient labels...the closest thing you can get to fresh food, in a box!

Also, GoPicnic meals are easy to eat -- everything in GoPicnic meals are ready to eat with no extra preparation required. Just open and enjoy, no need to heat anything up or add water. Which means you really can enjoy GoPicnic anytime you're hungry, anywhere you go!

Each item in a GoPicnic ready to eat meal is individually packaged, so you can eat at your own pace – some now, some later, or everything together – whatever you’re in the mood for or your schedule can handle (and let’s face it, sometimes you only have a minute for a bite!). The rest will wait for you. As long as an individual food item is unopened, no refrigeration or preparation is required, just open and enjoy when you’re ready to go.

GoPicnic has a bunch of different boxes. They are: Hummus, Tuna, Salmon, Peanut Butter, Salami, Turkey Stick, and Turkey Pepperoni. Each meal comes with crackers or pop chips, cheese (with the meat ones), Fruit and Nut Mix/Edamame/gummy snack, Applesauce, and a dessert (which is normally a dark chocolate bar).


Since I don't really eat meat, I have only had the Hummus, Tuna, Salmon, and Peanut Butter. The Peanut butter ones are my favorite. It comes Peanut Butter & Co. Natural Peanut Butter, Late July Organic Crackers, Sweet Perry Orchards Unsweetened Applesauce, Annie's Homegrown Cheddar Bunny Crackers and Surf Sweets Gummy Bears. Although it doesn't sound like a lot, I always feel full after eating the entire box (which is around 430 calories). The Salmon, Tuna, and Hummus were also extremely delicious (they put a bunch of spices in with the fish and hummus, like cilantro and lime).

These boxes are somewhat expensive. They are about $3.99 a box at Wegmans, but can also be found at World Market or another whole foods/organic stores. You can even order these from the GoPicnic website (PB and Salmon ones are on sale currently ;)). Although they are pricey, the quality of food is worth the investment.
