A Few More Tips:

• Freeze one of your water bottles and use as extra ice
• Invest in clear containers to store your food in. You'll be able to choose the right food with ease
• For variety, choose different vegetables and different fruits.
• Don't forget to bring along a bag for trash!
• Although most of the food choices are easily "finger food" (purposely), pack along a knife, fork and spoon.

Empty your cooler at the end of the day and restock with ice and food if necessary so nothing spoils.

Bon Apetite!
