Food and drinks should be easy to transport and not too messy. Prepackaged snacks are often the way to go.
Food and Drink
Finger foods and fruity drinks that are easy to transport make for a refreshing outdoor meal
May 24, 2017
Having the right food and drinks can make or break your picnic. Foods that require cutlery are a no-go — you don’t want your picnic to get too crowded with unnecessary utensils. So, make sure to pack lots of small finger foods to complete your meal.
Fruits, like strawberries and watermelon, provide a nice refreshing taste and also help you to feel healthy. Sandwiches are a classic picnic food for a good reason; they’re easy to eat and require little to no clean-up. Chips are also a nice side item. For a twist, try layering plain-flavored chips into a savory sandwich to add a satisfactory crunch.
Good drinks could include lemonade or water. Or, if those aren’t for you, try sparking grape juice to give your picnic a sophisticated flare. To enhance the romantic feel of the picnic, bring champagne flutes for your non-alcoholic drink of choice.
For food or drinks that require refrigeration, make sure to bring a cooler. There’s nothing worse than accidentally making your lemonade warm or your ice cream melt. Be sure to pack all the necessary supplies to enjoy your picnic meal.
