If you'd rather not leave your picnic choices to chance, I've curated some tasty ideas broken down by category. When it comes to choosing good picnic foods portability and durability is almost as important as taste. Here are some of the best picnic foods around.

Breakfast picnic food ideas

Breakfast in the park can be a very relaxing way to begin your day. It's also a nice, somewhat distraction-free way to spend time with your kids before dropping them off at school. Just be sure to have them keep their tablets and phones locked away.

Here are some tasty, traditional breakfast foods for your picnic.

• Hard-Boiled Eggs

  
  

• Pre-packed cereal - Be sure to bring some bottled milk. You can generally find these in the cereal aisle at your grocery store. They come with their own bowl making them super portable.

  
  

• Greek Yogurt - Don't buy it plain or your picnic guests will never eat with you again. Opt for low sugar vanilla and other flavors.

  
  

• Mini French Pancakes - Thanks to modern technology, you can now have pancakes without cooking them. These pancakes can be stored at room temperature without spoiling and are just as soft as normal pancakes.

  
  

• Entenmann's Little Bites Party Cake Muffins

Remember the key to a good picnic basket item lies in how portable it is. Pasta and soups are great but they tend to spill and get messy in transit. Keep it simple and your picnic will be clean and enjoyable.
