do insulated lunch bags need to be refrigerated image

Q. I have just started a new job, and my office does not have a refrigerator in it, but it does have a microwave. What can I make for lunch that is healthy and doesn't need to be refrigerated?

Answer
Health Choice makes these unrefrigerated "meals" that you just add hot water (or microwave - either one). My daughter eats them in dorms and says some of them are pretty good. They are in the pasta isle usually. Then, there are goes cans of tuna / chicken salad and they don't need refrigeration. Also, believe it or not - and not sure how they taste - there's that unrefrigerated milk like they sell in Starbucks so there's some milk if you want it to make like cream soup. Oh, and those "Soup at Hands" are pretty good.

You could always go out and but an insulated lunch bag and put some of that blue ice in it. Pretend you're a construction worker - ha ha....sorry I am a construction worker so I shouldn't laugh!

Well, good luck - I'd say go get a lunch bag and blue ice then you can bring leftovers or salads.

How long can I keep fresh fruit juice in a bottle?

Bag

I'm planning to bring some apple and carrot juice to a swimming competition tomorrow but I heard that keeping freshly squeezed fruit juice out for too long will spoil it (Making it tomorrow morning at around 7-8am and prob gonna finish it at 10 or so) . So back to my question ^^

Answer
Put it in an insulated lunch bag with an ice pack. Or freeze it just enough to be like slushy. or wrap it in newspaper and put an ice pack (just in case) in an insulated lunch bag. you can refrigerate it first.

How to keep a salad fresh for lunch without a refrigerator?

Jenny

I want to start taking salads to work for lunch but there aren't any refrigerators to put my food in. How would I be able to keep a salad fresh?

Answer
Make sure your lettuce/greens are rinsed and dry. Pack wet ingredients like tomatoes, artichokes hearts, roasted peppers etc. separately. Pack cheese and/or cold cuts separately. Pack your salad dressing separately. Put the dried greens in a tupperware container or Ziploc with a paper towel to absorb moisture. Refrigerate all ingredients overnight then pack in an insulated bag until lunch time. If you use a decent sized container for the lettuce, you can mix your salad ingredients in that container.

If you wish to bring any salads like egg or tuna salad. The containers should also be refrigerated overnight then packed into an insulated bag with some frozen gel packs or use the other answerer's idea of the frozen bottle of water.
