#MTBoSBlaugust Friday Fun Day: Lunch, Anyone?



Packing lunches can be a chore ... but with new cool lunch boxes out there ... the possibilities are limitless!  I love the lunch boxes with multiple sections like Bento, LunchBot, Planetbox.

Consider creating some of these lunches:



Protein Box

Wheat Crackers
Cheese Slices
Peanut Butter
Cucumber Slices
Boiled Egg
Blueberries and Apple Slices








Salad Box

Mixed Greens Salad
Boiled Egg
Cheese Slices
Grapes
What other add-ins might you enjoy?










Roll-Up Box

Turkey Roll Ups are pictured ... but you could even do lettuce roll ups?  Insert your favorite veggies, or tuna/chicken salad, or as pictured, your favorite deli meat.

Add fruit and a handful of nuts!







These boxes can be prepared the night before ... and the variations are many!

I've started a collection on a Pinterest Board ... Check it out!
