most helpful answer below are some common non-perishable healthy food items: fish or chicken in a can/pouch are good lean protein sources look for vegetables in cans that are low-sodium or no-salt added fruits also come in cans but look for fruit in its own juice rather than syrup canned soups can be hearty meals but look for soups that are broth based with mostly vegetables dry good such as pasta rice and oatmeal have a long shelf lives. dry cereal made with whole grains is a shelf-stable ready-to-eat food. another good protein source is peanut butter which does not require refrigeration after opening canned foods
what are some healthy meals that are not perishable and can be cooked in a microwave or require no preparation? . i am in the military and when deployed i was looking for healthy meals that i can eat. they have to be nonperishable because i have no refrigerator to store food in and most of the time the items will have to be shipped to me. i do have access to a microwave and space is a concern as well.
