Boil the eggs: Place eggs in a pot, cover with cold water by 1 inch, and bring to a gentle boil. Turn off the heat, cover, and let sit for 10–12 minutes. Transfer eggs to an ice bath for at least 5 minutes, then peel.

Prep your produce: Wash and cut veggies into bite-size pieces. Pat them dry so excess moisture doesn’t make the box soggy. Slice fruit right before packing or choose fruits that don’t brown.

Choose your base: Pick a sturdy container with compartments or use silicone cups to separate dips and small items. Aim for one section for eggs, one for crunchy veggies, one for carbs, and one for extras.

Add the protein: Place 2 peeled eggs in each box. Halve them if you like and season lightly with salt, pepper, or your favorite seasoning blend.

Pack the crunch: Add a handful of carrots, cucumber, or snap peas. Include a few cherry tomatoes for color if you like.

Include a carb: Add whole-grain crackers, pita wedges, or a small serving of cooked quinoa in a separate cup. Keep dry items away from dips to prevent sogginess.

Add flavor and fats: Tuck in cheese cubes and a small handful of nuts or olives. These make the box more filling and satisfying.

Finish with a dip: Spoon hummus, tzatziki, or guacamole into a lidded sauce cup. Keep dips sealed to protect texture and prevent leaks.

Optional extras: Add a pickle spear, roasted chickpeas, or a piece of dark chocolate for a treat.

Seal and chill: Close the lids tightly and store in the fridge. You’re set for grab-and-go snacks or light lunches.
