Tips for packing sandwich lunches like a pro
Pack perfect sandwich lunches every time by following these tips:
Save time
Cook hard-boiled eggs in batches to add to your favorite lunches, like salads, sandwiches, and bento boxes. Hard-boiled eggs are a great source of protein and make any meal more satisfying!
Prevent bread from getting soggy
Lettuce and cheese are not only a healthy addition to this turkey sandwich but also a barrier to preventing the bread from absorbing other ingredients' humidity. Add every layer in order, and the sandwich will stay perfect for hours.
Use the right container
When packing this sandwich in one container or a compartment of the lunchbox, be sure it's sandwich-sized. Otherwise, the layers will move around and, by lunchtime, it won't look as good. Zip bags are not a good idea either for packing sandwiches!
Add more nutrition
Make this sandwich lunch even more nutritious by adding veggies, fruits or chips. Kids will love to open the lunchbox and find homemade Doritos and cheese crackers! For sweet tooth, these Banana Chips and these Fruit Cups are a winner!
