What’s the biggest benefit to renting out a fully furnished travel nurse housing condo in Shreveport? There are lots of benefits, but an equipped kitchen area is a huge plus. With access to a kitchen, you’ll be able to easily prepare nutritious breakfasts at home and meals that will serve well as leftovers throughout the week. In addition, you can make homemade lunches to take to work at the hospital! In this post, we’ll discuss several insulated bags and coolers you may want to consider for taking food to work.
Protect your prepared meal from the elements with these bags!

- The Yeti brand is highly-regarded and a top high-end seller for coolers. If you plan on transporting food regularly, look into their hard cooler models.
- Like Yeti, the RTIC brand also boasts quality and has soft coolers that would pack well into a backpack or stuffed into your car.
- Clevermade offers a collapsible cooler that’s the answer to your limited space problems! Keep food cold and in style by carrying it in this insulated soft cooler bag.
- Did you know that a “cooler” can also work to keep food hot? Yep, it’s true! Check out this article about keeping food hot in a cooler for great ideas including aluminum foil insulation and hot bricks. Of course, be sure to check the temperature of food dishes to make sure it’s safe to eat.
- Want an easy, low-cost, lightweight solution for carrying hot soups to work? Purchase several Contigo travel mugs. You can use one for hot coffee or tea and another for pouring your homemade soup into. Contigo mugs do an admirable job at storing hot and cold liquids for enjoyment later (probably not more than a few hours).
Important Note: Food needs to be stored at the right temperature (both hot / cold) to make sure that bacteria doesn’t have a chance to grow and make you sick. Check out this USDA article for valuable information on food storage. In addition, there’s a link at the bottom of the page to FoodSafety.gov, with more details on prepping and storing food safely.
