Salad In A Cup
That’s right. This one is salad - in a cup! If you’re wanting a low-calorie, refreshing beach lunch, this is the perfect solution for you. This works for any plastic cup with a lid, but we suggest mason jars for a zero-waste reusable container. You can make any variety of salad in individual servings. Just don’t forget your fork!
Our favorite salads include refreshing strawberry and grilled chicken, layered pasta salads with fresh tomatoes and feta, or even just a cup of mixed fruit.

Chicken Salad Pinwheels
Looking for some more variety to pack in that snackle box from earlier? Chicken salad pinwheels are an excellent way to prepare a more fulfilling lunch that doesn’t require any utensils on the go. Any family-favorite chicken salad recipe will work. Just scoop out your chicken salad on tortilla shells, wrap in plastic wrap and chill. Then before you head out to the beach, slice into bite-sized pieces.

Bag O’ Sandwiches
This lifehack is one that’s been passed down for generations by anyone with a big family. If you’re planning on bringing sandwiches to the beach, consider reusing the bread bag. It’s an easy resealable solution for a whole stack of sandwiches for the entire family!
For some variety, consider using Hawiian rolls for ham and swiss sliders, such as these.
