Answer
If you want your lunch to remain cold, yes, you will need an ice pack. Its insulated, not refrigerated. It will keep things cooler than if left out, but not for more than an hour or so.

A quick and healthy sack lunch?
jordanaban
I started a new job, and at this job, I can not leave the store for my lunch break, and just getting some fast food between jobs has become expensive not to mention unhealthy. So, I have started to bring my lunch, however, I have had a turkey sandwich, chips, and a can of dr. pepper for the last 25 out of 30 days (the other 5 of which I wasn't working). But it is starting to get boring. Any one have some ideas that are yummy, quick and healthy. Not to mention easy to make. Thanks

Instructions
Step 1
galaxyarmynavy.com**A sack lunch doesn't come in a sack anymore**
The old fashioned brown paper bags are probably used more for art projects than lunches these days. There are many alternatives including insulated bags and plastic coolers that have many benefits: food stays cold and doesn't fall out, much larger volume, and they don't look quite as pitiful as old paper bags!
A good lunch "cooler" will cost around $10-$30. When picking one out, be sure to choose one that the lunch eater wouldn't be embarassed to carry and one that is functional for his/her lunchtime situation
Step 2

A reusable bottle is a good way to add a variety of different beverages to your sack lunch (oh what the heck, we'll keep calling it that) during the week. Make drinks at home such as lemonade, juice or iced tea, and fill the bottle with something different each day. Soda cans are also easy to transport and can be cheap when bought in bulk, but be sure to get a couple different kinds to avoid boredom.
Step 3

For most people, a sandwich is the basic component of a sack lunch. That doesn't mean it has to be boring! Try using different kinds of bread like whole wheat, rye or foccacia. Bring plain meat & cheese to life with some colorful veggies like sprouts, purple cabbage, or cucumber. Make a mouth-watering tuna salad, chicken salad, or egg salad. Or try putting all your ingredients together in a tortilla wrap instead between slices of bread. And don't forget to include a good ole PB&J now and then...everyone likes comfort food!
Step 4

Many people like to have some kind of carb at lunch time to keep them going during the day. Chips and crackers are by far the most common, but have no fear - this allows you hundreds of possible options! Buy variety packs or buy a couple of different kinds and mix things up during the week. Adding salsa, dip, or cheese slices to the sack lunch provides even more ways to enjoy this side item.
Step 5

If the person you're packing a sack lunch for proclaims that he/she doesn't like "health food," then make your fruits and veggies seem like anything BUT health food with a few simple add-ons. Combine yogurt and cinnamon with chopped fruit to make a sweet fruit salad. Dip berries in dark chocolate or smother banana slices with peanut butter. Include ranch dip with sliced carrots, cucumbers, celery or broccoli. Make a quick and easy vegetable salad with cucumbers, tomatoes, red peppers and Italian dressing. There are lots of ways to make fruits and veggies edible, even for people who think they're not.
Step 6**Leftovers**
If the sack lunch eater has access to a microwave, keep the leftovers COLD in the cooler. If not, heat the leftovers to a temperature that's hot enough to keep them HOT (above 165 degrees until eaten), and store them in a thermos or other container that's equipped for hot foods.
Step 7

For those who can't eat a meal without dessert, not adding something sweet could ruin the entire meal. However, that doesn't mean it has to be a face-sized cookie or an arm-length maple bar every time. In fact, the fruit salad or chocolate berries listed above could even be considered dessert. But if that's not enough, try things like fruit leather, mini cookies, a single cup cake, or a pudding cup. These will all make for good endings to a sack lunch without overloading the lunch eater with excessive sugar.
