Snack Box with Beef Jerky

Need a snack idea made with real ingredients? This snack box with beef jerky is just the idea you’re looking for!

With the help of a compartmentalized container, we’re going to turn plain jerky into a balanced and even tastier option you can pack in the lunch bag.

Beef jerky, crackers, grapes, and sliced cheese packed into a snack container.

Beek Jerky Snack Box 

No better way to enjoy snack time than with a variety of yummy ingredients, and this beef jerky box offers just that. You get a little crunch from the crackers, salty from the jerky and cheese, and sweetness from the fruit.

Not to mention, each box provides your kids with 18 grams of protein, which brings me to the next point, this could easily be turned into lunch. Including a little extra fruit, veggies with dip, and hard-boiled eggs would not only bulk this bento up but add more nutrients and keep it easy to eat.

What is in this Snack Box with Beef Jerky

Below is a list of the foods included in this beef jerky snack box, but you could think of it as a “blueprint” and swap out certain items for a similar option:

  • Beef jerky: your favorite variety, or use turkey jerky.
  • Something crunchy: could be whole grain crackers, pita chips, or pretzels.
  • Cheese: goes great with crackers and adds protein.
  • Fruit: any fresh fruit or veggies work great!

See how easy it is to make healthy snacks for school when you have the right ingredients?!

How to pack a Beef Jerky Snack Box

Now, I’ll show you how to pack all the different ingredients into one container, so they stay fresh until snack time!

  1. Prep
    Wash the fruit and slice the cheese into squares. Use kitchen scissors to cut the beef jerky into smaller pieces, if needed.
  2. Keep the crackers separate
    In order to keep the crackers crispy, pack them in their own compartment.
  3. Add more snacks
    The cheese, jerky, and fruit can all be packed together or kept separate if your container has enough compartments.
  4. Prepare for transport
    Close the container and pack it into a lunch bag with an ice pack.
