Founded in Chicago in 2006, GoPicnic began with a simple mission: providing tasty, nutritionally balanced portable meals and snacks for people on the go. Today, these kits quiet tummy grumblings with a winning combination of fiber, protein, and minimal calorie content. Flavorful meals such as the Hummus & Crackers—all-natural, gluten-free, vegan, and kosher—are rounded out by sides such as a fruit-and-nut mix and dark chocolate, all the while avoiding unpronounceable ingredients, trans fats, and high-fructose corn syrup. These bites come in easy-to-grab packages suitable for situations ranging from mid-hike snack breaks to vacation traffic jams in a car full of fussy kids.

In addition to keeping clients well-fueled away from home, GoPicnic also pays special attention to those with dietary sensitivities. In recent years, the company has earned plaudits from the blogosphere for their dedication to vegan, gluten-free, and allergy-friendly products. This responsible approach to eating also led to an appearance on Today, where USA Today's Ben Mutzabaugh praised the snack sets for their inclusive menu items and durable construction.

The meals can be delivered directly to homes or purchased at select stores throughout the country. Each meal is individually packaged and ready to take along anywhere, sliding easily into purses, laptop bags, and spaceship escape pods.
