GoPicnic Review and Giveaway

I know how it is - sometimes you are on the go and it is nearly impossible to cook a nice meal and sit down to eat it. However, that doesn't mean you have to compromise the healthiness of your meal or snack.


That is where GoPicnic comes in. GoPicnic's founders developed the concept of the shelf-stable picnic meal in 2004 for a major US airline whose existing buy-on-board fresh food service program was costing it millions of dollars annually due to high levels of waste from unused meals as well as incremental personnel expenses stemming from the need for in-flight food preparation. The shelf-stable snackbox solution that the GoPicnic founders created to address these issues generated profit for the airline for the first time in its food service history and provided customers with a reliable quality product at a good value.


Now they have tons of varities of these picnic style meals that are availabe to everyone to buy! I like that they have thought of everyone with their meal boxes. They currently have Kosher meals, Gluten-Free meals, Vegetarian meals, and Halal meals available. GoPicnic can also produce custom meal combinations that meet most dietary and nutritional requirements. Many GoPicnic meals are peanut-free, and we can also produce meals that avoid common allergens including soy, tree nuts, and wheat gluten.


I received their Study Fuel Care Package. It includes:


•Clif Oatmeal Raisin Walnut Bar
•Snack Factory Cinnamon Toast Pretzel Crisps


•Late July Organic Cheddar Mini Sandwich Crackers


•Sharkies Organic Energy Chews


•Mrs. May’s Cashew Crunch


•St. Dalfour Gourmet on the Go Salad


•GoPicnic Peanut Butter + Crackers Ready-to-Eat Meal


First off, let me say, I wish I would have known about GoPicnic in college. Jeepers, I would have loved this package then! It is full of healthy options for snacking or a meal or two. I appreciate that it is all-natural, has no artificial flavors or colors and many of the items in my pack are organic.

I thought everything in this kit was quite good. I did have a few reservations about the Gourmet on the Go Bean and Corn Salad. But after a closer look, I saw that it is made with an all natural "Optimal Food Process" which creates a deep vacuum. This vacuum provides a wholesome fresh taste without the need for preservatives.


My favorite part of this package was probably the Cashew Crunch. It is so yummy!!! With only five ingredients, no preservatives, no cholesterol and vegan, you can hardly go wrong with these. I do wish that the cashews were organic, but they are still quite good, nonetheless.

I also want to point out that all the food in GoPicnic meals contain NO trans fat, MSG, or High Fructose Corn Syrup. Thank you for that! I also like that they have a section of just All-Natural meals, like salmon and crackers or hummus and crackers. All these meals require no refrigeration or preparation and are compact enough to fit in a laptop bag, backpack or purse.

Whether you are looking for a snack or meal for on the go or if you really want to have a picnic, I love some of GoPicnic's options. They use a wide variety of great companies with yummy products, some of which I had never heard of. Go check all the options out and order them online today!
