Train journeys are fun, but finding food that stays fresh for a long trip can be tricky. You want something tasty, filling, and safe to eat without refrigeration. Here are five delicious options that will keep you energized during a 2-day train journey.
1. 🥪 Sandwiches – Classic and Convenient
Sandwiches are a train journey staple. Use whole-grain bread and fillings like peanut butter, cheese, cucumber, or boiled eggs. Avoid perishable items like mayonnaise or fresh cream. Wrap them tightly in foil or cling film, and they’ll stay fresh for hours.
2. 🍪 Energy Bars & Homemade Snacks – Quick Bite
Energy bars, dry fruits, or homemade snacks like chikki, roasted nuts, or granola bars are perfect for snacking on the move. They are non-perishable, healthy, and provide instant energy, especially if you have long hours without meal breaks.
3. 🥗 Cold pasta or Grain Salads – Light Yet Filling
Pasta or quinoa salads made with olive oil, roasted vegetables, and boiled eggs stay fresh without refrigeration for a short period. Add a dash of lemon juice for flavor. Avoid mayonnaise-based dressings; instead, use vinegar or yogurt-based dressings if you want a creamy touch.
4. 🍌 fruits – Natural Energy Boosters
Carry fruits that don’t spoil easily, like apples, bananas, oranges, or grapes. They’re hydrating, nutritious, and mess-free. Avoid berries or cut fruits unless you have a small insulated box to keep them fresh.
5. 🌯 Wraps & Parathas – Easy to Pack
Vegetable or paneer wraps, and stuffed parathas are filling and stay fresh for hours. Wrap them in foil and keep them in an airtight container. You can also pack small chutney portions separately to avoid sogginess.
