Things like carrot sticks, grapes and sliced apples are all fine at room temp. Our school prefers an easy access quick snack that doesnt need to be kept cold. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/keeping-snacks-cold-in-a-backpack-all-day#post-2841990 Mon, 27 Aug 2018 11:05:25 +0000 Foodnerd81 2841990@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@snowjewelz: @Mommy Finger: lol I just came here to<br /> Post that fit and fresh is an amazon deal of the day too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/keeping-snacks-cold-in-a-backpack-all-day#post-2841980 Mon, 27 Aug 2018 10:08:57 +0000 snowjewelz 2841980@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Truth Bombs: Fresh &amp; Fit stuff is Amazon's deal of the day! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/keeping-snacks-cold-in-a-backpack-all-day#post-2841953 Mon, 27 Aug 2018 08:52:22 +0000 looch 2841953@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I packed my son's snack separately, in a smaller one of those BUILT NY bags. Since lunch was at 11:30, snack was around 9:30 so I didn't worry too much about keeping it chilled. but since your snack is so much later, I would possibly look into one of those small bags that you can freeze, the name is escaping me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/keeping-snacks-cold-in-a-backpack-all-day#post-2841905 Sun, 26 Aug 2018 21:02:18 +0000 muffinsmuffins 2841905@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got a Costco lunch bag for his yum box and it came with a flat ice pack so I plan to have the yum box with the lunch stuff and pack a reusable snack bag or whatever outside the yumbox but still in the lunch bag. It’s a Roots lunch bag (I’m in Canada...not sure if you guys have Roots stuff in the US?!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/keeping-snacks-cold-in-a-backpack-all-day#post-2841897 Sun, 26 Aug 2018 20:01:54 +0000 Truth Bombs 2841897@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mommy Finger: search the brand “Fresh &amp; Fit Kids” on Amazon.

I think most fruit and veggies would be fine at room temperature. We use ziploc baggies and have so far stayed away from anything that needs strict refrigeration. But I've got my eye on some mini ice packs I've seen at Walmart that would pair nicely with the reusable bag recommended above. </p> <p>Just my two cents. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/keeping-snacks-cold-in-a-backpack-all-day#post-2841879 Sun, 26 Aug 2018 17:37:07 +0000 rattles 2841879@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A frozen yogurt or cheese stick will defrost to the right temp. Otherwise, I would make no nut trail mix (raisins, sunflower seeds, yogurt chips, dried fruit) and send whole fruit. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/keeping-snacks-cold-in-a-backpack-all-day#post-2841875 Sun, 26 Aug 2018 16:36:42 +0000 bhbee 2841875@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mini packit freezable bag?

For a couple hours I would think most things would be fine at room temp but it depends on the timing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/keeping-snacks-cold-in-a-backpack-all-day#post-2841868 Sun, 26 Aug 2018 16:11:55 +0000 Mommy Finger 2841868@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm new to this whole packing a lunch/snacks as we were spoiled with our previous daycare providing everything. Now that DS1 is in kindergarten we have to pack him a lunch and a healthy snack. We are fine with lunch but I have a question about how to pack his snack. We need to keep it separate from his lunch and it has to be something healthy like fruits/veggies/cheese&amp;crackers etc. How do I keep that chilled? I don't want to have 2 lunch boxes but haven't seen anything smaller that I could use a small ice pack with. I'm sure I"m overthinking this and know not everything necessarily needs to be refrigerated. Any suggestions? </p>
