Description

A simple, no-cook adult lunchable that’s perfect for meal prep. Mix and match your favorite protein, fruits, veggies, cheese, and crunchy snacks for an easy grab-and-go lunch that helps you meet your goals.


Ingredients

Units
  • 2 hard-boiled eggs, peeled
  • 2 ounces cheddar cheese, sliced or cubed
  • 1/2 cup crackers
  • 1/2 cup grapes
  • 1/2 cup baby carrots
  • 2 squares dark chocolate

Instructions

  1. Add your protein to one section of a divided container or bento box. If using hard-boiled eggs, we suggest slicing them in half and sprinkling each side with salt and pepper.
  2. Add the cheese or nuts to another section.
  3. Fill the remaining sections with fruits, vegetables, and your crunchy or starch option.
  4. Add any optional dips or chocolate if using.
  5. Cover the container with a lid and refrigerate until ready to eat.

Notes

This recipe is meant to be flexible. Once you’ve tried the classic combo above, mix and match with what you have on hand.

For proteins, you can use sliced deli turkey, ham, roast beef, leftover chicken, or extra eggs.

For fruits and vegetables, try cherry tomatoes, cucumber slices, bell pepper strips, apple slices, or berries.

For cheese, swap in Swiss, pepper jack, or your favorite variety. Omit the cheese for dairy-free and use nuts instead.

For crunch, use rice cakes, pretzels, or roasted chickpeas instead of crackers.

For extras, add hummus or guacamole, nuts or trail mix, or a couple squares of dark chocolate.

These lunchables keep well in the fridge for 3 to 4 days and make busy weekdays much easier.
