What to Prepare for a Spontaneous Picnic

If you want to go for a picnic without the hassle of planning a picnic, just follow these basic rules:

Sandwiches

Cooking might take too long so sandwiches are a great solution. Get creative with the contents of your fridge, but don’t overload the bread so that the sandwiches won’t fall apart.

Tea or Coffee

Boil a kettle and fill a thermos with either tea or coffee, and, if possible, add your milk and sugar at this point as it will make pouring and drinking much simpler outside.

Fruit

Nature’s packed desserts are perfect for a picnic. Simply take some oranges or bananas, or wash some apples, peaches, or grapes. Best to avoid watermelons, mangos, or other more complicated fruits to prepare and pack.

Everything Else

You’ll want to have something nice to sit on and eat. If you have a wax tablecloth that’s perfect, but a beach towel is also useful. Something else to think about is entertainment, stop at a convenience store and pick up a crossword puzzle book and a pen and you’re set!

Keep It Clean

No matter what you eat or do, make sure to pack all the leftovers in your bag and leave no trace.
