KEEP THINGS FRESH
For perishables, a cooler bag with a gel pack is best, says registered dietitian Leah Oladitan. Keep food below 5 ° C, and discard anything that has been above that temperature for more than two hours. Sealable containers are ideal for fruit and spillable foods, while wraps can be transported in plastic food storage bags or plastic wrap.

3. Get some grains in
Wholegrain sandwiches are another great travellers’ choice. Pack them in a small container and fill with tuna salad or peanut butter and jam for an easy – and delicious – protein source.
Alternatively, try spreading a wholegrain tortilla or pita with nut butter and rolling it around a banana, then wrapping with plastic wrap; or add cubed melon and berries to a crepe spread with cream cheese.
