snacks without a refridgerator

cathleen4h

Hello everyone! I need some help. I am going on a work trip with 14 youth from my 4-H program tomorrow for 4 days. We will be staying in the dorms at a University with no access to a refrigerator. I need some snack ideas to keep me from eating all sorts of bad things. Thanks for any help in advance!

fresh fruit
nuts, seeds
dry cereal
snack/protein/granola bars
100 cal packs of cookies, crackers, microwave popcorn

P.S. in case there aren't any microwaves, pop your own popcorn and bring it in portioned bags.

How much room do you have to pack?

Many fruits will be fine without a fridge for 4 days (apples, pears, bananas, etc). Some good high protein/high fiber granola or protein type bars, depending on what you like/need (Kind bars, Fiber One bars, Quest bars, etc). Something that will satisfy a salty/crunchy craving (snap pea crisps, popcorn, pretzel sticks, Special K cracker chips, etc) - try to individually portion those if you can to keep better track of what you're eating. Maybe even some beef jerky?

And no cooler or lunch bag with ice pack?
Canned dolmas (trader joes has good ones) with seasoned tomato sauce for dipping
tuna (in that foil bag) and crackers--pack a cut lemon
beef jerky
cut up pastries (fit them in your macros)
Kombucha (GT Dave's brand)
