Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 hard-boiled eggs, peeled and halved
  • 1 cup cooked chicken breast, shredded or diced
  • 1/2 cup cottage cheese
  • 1/4 cup hummus
  • 1 cup baby carrots
  • 1 cup cucumber slices

  • Instructions

    1. Prepare Your Proteins: If you don’t have them ready, hard-boil your eggs and cook your chicken breast. Once cooled, peel and halve the eggs, and shred or dice the chicken. Season the chicken with a pinch of salt and pepper.

    2. Wash and Chop Vegetables: Thoroughly wash all your fresh vegetables. Slice the cucumber, cut the bell peppers into strips, and leave the baby carrots and cherry tomatoes whole.

    3. Divide the Hummus and Cottage Cheese: Spoon the hummus and cottage cheese into small, separate compartments of your snack boxes or small reusable containers if your boxes don’t have dividers.

    4. Arrange the Main Proteins: Place the hard-boiled egg halves and shredded chicken into the main compartments of your snack boxes. Aim for an even distribution across all boxes.

    5. Add the Vegetables: Fill the remaining larger compartments with your prepared vegetables: baby carrots, cucumber slices, bell pepper strips, and cherry tomatoes.

    6. Include Healthy Fats and Carbs: Add a portion of mixed nuts and a few whole-wheat crackers or rice cakes to each box.

    7. Season the Eggs: Sprinkle the hard-boiled egg halves with everything bagel seasoning for an extra burst of flavor.

    8. Seal and Store: Securely close the lids of your snack boxes. They are now ready for refrigeration and can be enjoyed throughout the week.
