Light afternoon snack for 95F outdoor visit?

[Anonymous]

Visiting cancer patient in the shade. Covid cases are riding rapidly in our area.

No one will be hungry, but there will be ice tea, lemonade and I thought we should have something to munch on as well. I cannot bring frozen food, but I thought maybe berries? Very thin cookies?

All ideas welcome!

Fruit salad in a small cooler, cookies w/o chocolate, mini muffins, rughela, biscotti, individually packed nuts.

Salty snacks like olives, nut mix, potato chips and raw vegetables with refrigerated dip, to encourage the drinking of liquid.

Also, obviously, a watermelon.

Fruit salad, hummus and veggies/pita chips, and oatmeal raisin cookies

Cucumbers

Something that can be eaten without silverware or plates.

Cucumbers and/or watermelon (already cut up).

My first thought was guacamole and chips but the other suggestion of watermelon sounds even better.

Honestly making a cancer patient sit in 95 degrees outside is probably more dangerous than sitting in a well-ventilated inside area with masks/rapid tests.

+1. It’s the kind of thing that sounds “Covid-cautious” but is really just idiotic.

OP here. I hear you, but I’m not the one making that decision.

Thank you everyone for the suggestions!

Cucumber and cream cheese sandwiches (chilled), watermelon spears, potato chips. But maybe ask the patient if he/she has any cravings/foods that work best. Not sure if the patient has nausea or not. I bet some popsicles would be good.

Thinly sliced radish on buttered sourdough with sea salt and fresh thyme.

I appreciate your fanciness, but girl, give me the whole dang slice of watermelon on a hot day!
