Snack-Plate Lunch Boxes
The grown-up snack box: eggs, cheese, hummus, crunch.
Some days lunch is a snack plate, and that's fine when it's built right: eggs, cottage cheese, string cheese and a little turkey for protein, hummus and crunchy vegetables for dipping, fruit and almonds for something sweet and salty. The only cooking is boiling the eggs.
Ingredients
For 4 boxes.
Eggs
- 8 large eggs
Boxes
- 2 cups 2% cottage cheese
- 4 part-skim string cheese sticks (1 oz each)
- 4 oz sliced deli turkey

- 2 carrots, cut into sticks
- 1 English cucumber, sliced
- 2 apples, sliced
- 1/4 cup whole almonds
- 10 saltine crackers
Method
Lower the eggs into boiling water and cook 11 minutes, then cool in ice water and peel.
Meanwhile, cut the vegetables and apples.
