On the go healthy meals and snacks? HELP!

I used to do the 100 calorie packs, but then found I could get more for my money if I made my own packs!
Here is the recipe I use for my bread, but I cut all the sugar in 1/2, subbed unsweetened applesauce for the oil, used egg substitute and left out he coconut and walnuts (because I was out). Also I make them into muffins and they freeze really well!

And of course, now I've lost my train of thought on other ideas. but when they come back to me, I'll post!First of all, inverts in a big box of sandwhich size ziplocks, they will be your best friend!
And second, here are some of my ideas but if you want any recipes let me know! I cook for myself, my husband and my baby and we all have different diet and taste needs so I have a wide array!
Ideas:
Fresh fruit- duh! But wash, prep and package into serving sizes at the start of the week.
Hummus dip and veggies- doesn't usually need to be kept cold (an ice pack in the lunch box would do great)
String cheese- ditto hummus
Baby bell or laughing cow cheese on ricecakes (or kim's magic pop)
Pb&j
Boiled eggs
Zucchini bread muffins- I have a great healthy version recipie
Tuna- the bagged version works great for on the go, no draining or can opener needed
Nuts- again, duh! But divide up and then take
Raisins and other dried fruits- I really love the dried apple rings
Beef jerky- if you have a dehydrator, homemade is awesome
I've got more ideas, but don't want to overload you! Hope this helps!
Thankks, that DOES help. I guess I can try to take a lunchbox and an icepack, duh!
IF you have more, PLEASE share, you won't overload me. I seriously have no ideas. I would revert to peanut butter on celery and 100 cal packs (not really the calories i want to be getting!) I need all the help I can GET! LOL!0 -
