Summer is all about being outdoors and going on adventures with friends. With so much time spent outdoors, if you’re not grilling or sitting around a campfire, you’ll be craving a meal at some point in your day and not all foods may be ideal for carrying with you. So what do you bring with on your next hike, river kayaking trip, or the beach/poolside?

Salads in a Jar
If you’re looking for the light but filling foods that include zero mess, salads in mason jars are the way to go. Pick any large jar and add all of your favorite salad ingredients, including the dressing. When you close the lid, shake it up to get the dressing all over the salad, and voila! Just don’t forget a fork!

Hummus and Crackers
Hummus needs to be kept in a cooler or in a ziplock bag with ice. It generally stays fresh for a while and gets eaten quickly, so you won’t have to worry about carrying leftovers around. Grab a variety of crackers (or veggies!) to go along with hummus. You can also make your own hummus at home, and it can be done without tahini if you’re in a rush!
