Ingredients:

  • 2 oz (56g) grilled chicken breast, cubed
  • 1 large (50g) hard-boiled egg, sliced
  • 2 tbsp (30g) chickpeas, rinsed and patted dry
  • 1/2 cup (100g) cooked quinoa or brown rice
  • 5-7 whole grain crackers (approx. 20g)
  • 1 slice (30g) whole-wheat bread
  • 1/4 cup (35g) blueberries or halved grapes
  • 4 baby carrots, thinly sliced into coins
  • 2 tbsp (30g) cucumber, diced
  • 2 tbsp (30g) hummus or Greek yogurt dip

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the chicken. Cube the grilled chicken breast into 1/2 inch pieces. Ensure it is completely chilled to avoid steam inside the box.
  2. Fill the main compartment. Place the cubed chicken and the sliced hard boiled egg in the largest section.
  3. Add the grains. Scoop the 1/2 cup of cooked quinoa or brown rice into a medium compartment.
  4. Pack the produce. Place the sliced carrots and diced cucumber in their own spots.
  5. Isolate the fruit. Put the blueberries or halved grapes in a separate section. Use a silicone liner here if the box is open concept.
  6. Add the crunch. Place the whole grain crackers and the slice of whole wheat bread in the driest area of the box.
  7. Set the dip. Place the hummus or Greek yogurt in a leak proof container.
  8. Add the legumes. Sprinkle the chickpeas into a small gap or alongside the grains.
  9. Seal the box. Close the lid firmly and snap the locks until you hear a distinct click.
  10. Chill. Keep the box in the fridge until the moment you leave for school or daycare.
