Baked hard-shell eggs
Persian cucumbers
Carrots/celery sticks
We usually do a homemade pizza a day or two before and cut in squares
Homemade fruit cups - usually berries
Nuts
Sunflower seeds
Dark chocolate
Seltzer
Bagged snacks
And then we get coffee and something light at Dunkin Doughnuts midwife

For early lunch - I would pack an insulated multi-container lunch box (called tiffin box or dabba) with a nice veggi pilaf, daal, chicken curry, and paranthas. This would be eaten warm.
For a less fussy meal - rava-veggi idlies with chutney podi and coconut chutney.
For tea break - cucumber sandwiches and egg sandwiches. Some slices of homemade banana nut bread. Make tea in an electric kettle for car.
For coffee break - cookies and some via coffee satchets. Warm water and milk in electric kettle.
Pack fruits like bananas and tangerines. We like to buy fast food also - mainly fries, chicken nuggets and onion rings to go with the tea or coffee break.
This sounds delicious.

You need protein to power through. I agree woth sandwiches, would include some hard boiled eggs, tuna pouches, nuts, as well as fruit (I like cold grapes on a road trip - put them next to one of the ice packs) and veggies (pack easily grab-able things, carrot sticks, celery sticks, snap peas, sliced peppers, etc.)
Don't forget a package of baby wipes for easy clean up! My kids are in college, but I always have baby wipes in the car

I like to pack sandwich fixings. Meat, cheese, and Costco croissants. The croissants are rich enough that you don't need to mess around with condiments.
Good question. I should have stated that we are packing everything so it needs to be car-friendly and not require prep. Cooler is small. We are content to just graze all day on snacks and don't need a substantial "meal."
Sorry, just saw this. You need to pack sandwiches, banana and tangerines, cheese sticks, banana nut bread, spiced rava idlies, stuffed paranthas, samosas, croissants or danish. Nothing needs to be warmed, everything is easy to eat, nothing that leaks, no prep.

What are the dimensions of the cooler?
What kind of food do you like to eat?
I like hummus and cheese and coldcuts.
I also like just getting food on the road. Google maps makes it easy.

Long road trip coming up. What kind of food do you like to pack? I'll have a small cooler for anything that needs to stay cool for a day.
