|

GoPicnic Logo

How many of you eat on the run? We do a lot and I really hate having to feed my children fast food or make something that my not keep long enough for them to eat it. I could give them those little lunch things you buy in the grocery store but I might as well be pouring a can of salt down their throats. I discovered GoPicnic from a friend who suggested I check them out.

 GoPicnic has revolutionized the concept of boxed meals, offering nutritionally balanced, shelf-stable, ready-to-eat boxed lunches and meal boxes that require no refrigeration, heating, or preparation. No bigger than a hardcover novel, GoPicnic boxed meals are easy to transport in a laptop bag, backpack, or handbag, and are meant to be enjoyed anywhere, anytime.

Salami and Cheese GoPicnic Meal

I received two GoPicnic meals to review and I will say that I was surprised at the size. They really are about the size of a novel and are perfect for in the car or just about anywhere. The Salami and Cheese was my son’s favorite because he a meat eater. He said he would love to get more of these so when we take trips he could have it in the car. He’s right! We are getting ready to drive to Myrtle Beach and the kids are always wanting a snack and these would be perfect for them.These are the items included in the Salami and Cheese Box:

  • Old Wisconsin Beef Salami Slices
  • Partners Get Movin’ Olive Oil & Sea Salt Crackers
  • Copper Cowbell Asiago Cheese Spread
  • Sweet Perry Orchards Cashew Medley Fruit & Nut Mix
  • Funley’s Chocolate Cookie Cluster

Hummus and Crackers GoPicnic Meal

I tried the Hummus and Crackers because I had never hummus before and wanted to find out what it tasted like. I was really surprised at how good it was. It was the one of the best little lunches I had in a while. I got just enough to eat without being hungry and a little snack to to go along with it. These are included in the Hummus and Crackers meal:

  • Wild Garden Hummus Dip
  • Crunchmaster Multi-Seed Crackers
  • Sweet Perry Orchards Baja Blend Fruit & Nut Mix
  • Seapoint Farms Dry Roasted Edamame
  • Endangered Species Dark Chocolate Square

  1. I am definitely loving the all natural ones! I’ve seen some in the Target stores, but didn’t realize they had all natural options. I so want to try them!

  2. I love that they have options like gluten free meals. I was recently diagnosed with gluten intolerance and this would be great on the go.

  3. I would like the peanut butter and crackers because I figure you can’t go wrong with peanut butter.

  9. I like the Salmon + Crackers – – Paul T/Pauline T aka Paul Tran….. emscout9 at Hotmail dot com

  10. Hickory Farms Beef, Cheese, and Crackers. This item sounds the most appealing to me.

  17. This is cool. I think that the Salami and Asiago with Crackers, Dark Chocolate, and Nut Mix looks the best.

  18. I like Hummus + Crackers: All-Natural Meal because I love Hummus.

  21. I like the Super Variety Pack: 6 Assorted Ready-to-Eat Meals so you can try everything! Out of it, my favorite to try is the salami and cheese just because it’s often my default for quick to go meals or entertainment
