How to Pack Hard-Boiled Egg & Turkey Protein Bistro Box for Lunch

This easy and tasty bento box remains perfect until lunchtime if you pack it correctly.

Here is how I packed this lunch:

Cook the eggs
Cook hard-boiled eggs and, once cool, peel them so they’re ready to be packed inside a lunchbox.
Prep the turkey
On a flat surface, roll up turkey slices and cut the roll into a few pieces. Place them inside the lunch container along with 1 or 2 hard-boiled eggs.
Cube the cheese
Cut a few pieces of cheese and place them inside the lunch container.
Add carrots
Pack baby carrots or another veggie inside the lunch container.
Dip & Almonds
If you’re sending hummus or another dip, pack it separately inside a small leak-proof container. Add almonds to this lunch or fruit, if desired.

Tips to pack a healthy and convenient lunch box

Meal prep / pack ahead
You can meal prep this healthy bistro box to save time on busy mornings. Grab enough lunch containers for a few days, add all the ingredients following the step-by-step above, and refrigerate.

Batch-cook eggs
Eggs are a terrific protein you can batch-cook ahead to use in this bento box and other easy lunches, like salads and healthy deviled eggs. Cook them, peel them, and store them in the fridge, ready to use!

Add snack-like veggies
Baby carrots are perfect for eating as a snack or digging in a dip, but there are other great options you can add instead or mix with carrots, such as bell pepper strips, cucumber slices, or celery sticks.
