What are some good pack lunch ideals that are not hot and heavy?

Answer 1

cheese & crackers, veggies & dip.... I always make lunches out of snacks, rather than taking a sandwich or a hot meal. Pepperoni sticks, fruit, pudding, jello, etc. all make easy lunches.

Answer 2

a bagle, and cream cheese (you can buy the cream cheese that comes in little packs).
You can also have sliced cheese, or buy a block of cheese like chedder and cut it up and put in a ziplock. as long as you refrigirate it it will be o.k.
A fresh fruit, or a variety of fruit is yummy too, you can bring it with a little jug of yogurt.
if you want more a snack snack so it's like a little "desert" go to a natural food store, there are organic chedder bunnies (like goldfish only organic) organic fruit chews, organic chocolate, and organic cookies are yummy.
another idea for a pack lunch is pita bread, and some hummus.
it really depends who the lunch is geard towards? a child or an adult?

Answer 3

For adults:
make some chicken salal. Not the usual kind- but add some raison or grapes or pineapple. Make it exciting and different. Put in some crackers or a wrap along with some celery.
For Kids:
Make ants on a log. Stuff celery with PB and put raisons on top. Instead of pb&j sandwiches- make it on crackers. Look at what's in those lunchables and make it yourself.
