Whether you are getting away for Yeshiva Break, escaping the next “polar vortex”, getting away for Pesach, or just taking a weekend getaway with your significant other, we wanted to help all the would be vacation-ers out by providing a list of all of the available On-The-Go kosher meals to make your holidays that much easier!

We’ve categorized the meals into 4 categories:

Shelf-stable meals Supermarket-made meals Caterer-made meals Restaurant-made meals

For options 2-4 I advise ordering at least 2+ days in advance so they have time to deep freeze your meals. Deep freezing your meals will allow you to travel with them cross-country or overseas, even during the summer, so the meals will remain frozen until you arrive at your destination.

1) Shelf-stable meals: typically found on the shelves at Kosher supermarkets – they’re not gourmet by any standards, but they’ve vastly improved over the years. May or may not be cheaper than the below options, although these require no refrigeration. Some “self-heat”, although we do not recommend doing this in public, especially in an airport or on any sort of public transportation.
