Ani's Raw Food Essentials - Ani Phyo [86]
If necessary, components of burger, bread, rice, pizza, salad, soup, and noodle recipe can all be prepared days ahead of time and stored separately, and then assembled quickly before serving.
Most of these items keep and travel well and are great to carry with you for lunch the following day. So, make extra so you’ll have leftovers.

FOODS TO GO
I carry snacks with me when I travel and when I’m away from home, to ensure that I fuel myself with nutrient-rich foods that power me through my day.
Easy-to-carry travel foods that don’t need refrigeration include cereals and dehydrated crackers, breads, nuts, onion rings, wrappers, and bacon. Traveling with breads and crackers makes it easy to assemble a sandwich or toast with fresh avocado and tomato when you arrive at your destination. And onion rings and bacon spruce up any salad you may order at a restaurant.
Prepared foods that travel well and can stay out of refrigeration for a few hours include drinks, collard wraps, pizza, burgers, sandwiches, soups, and breads.

Assembled cakes last a few hours, depending on the fruit and sauces. Cookies will keep for several days at room temperature or longer, depending on how long they were dehydrated.
