Easy to eat!
Pistachio Nuts | Roasted, Salted, & Organic ...
These are tasty!

Sometimes taking 6 minutes to make food before you go is the difference between feeling good and not feeling good that day!
I love adding chia seeds to applesauce, and these individual cups make it easy to bring! (Protip-- bring floss if you're going to eat chia seeds out in public)

I like to make baked good recipes with almond flour to have an easy-to-eat snack to bring with me. Lots of muffins, breakfast cookies, etc.!

If you're only going to be gone a couple of hours, a cheesestick doesn't necessarily need an icepack.
Cheese Stick Snacks and String Cheese
Hummus and baby carrots are a favorite

I love to throw a blood-sugar friendly baked good or PB&J in one of these.

While still being a carb, this bread has a good amount of protein and fiber, making it easier to make blood-sugar friendly sandwiches.
Dave's Killer Bread
These are really tasty on their own, OR with a cheese stick or some turkey lunchmeat.
