GoPicnic's ready-to-eat go-anywhere meals are one of the most fun and useful products I've reviewed. GoPicnic makes a variety of ready-to-go gluten-free meals and snacks. Kids can take them to school or field trips, grown-ups can take them to work, everyone can take them on airplanes or to any other place where it's good to be able to pull a meal out of a briefcase or backpack.

No Refrigeration, No Reheating

Each GoPicnic meal pack is a collection of individual-sized portions of some of the best gluten-free products on the market -- from chips and dips, to meats and cheeses, to fruity desserts, cookies, and candies -- and nothing needs to be heated or refrigerated. The boxes can just wait on your pantry shelf until you need them. When you're ready to eat, just take the food out of the box. GoPicnic even supplies napkins and utensils. What's more, 5% of their profits from sales of gluten-free products are donated to the University of Maryland for celiac disease research.
