How to Keep Guacamole Fresh for Lunch

Browning is normal with any homemade guacamole you use, and there’s no way to prevent it; only slow it down by adding an ice pack inside the lunch bag to keep the lunch cool and by using a fresh fruit preserver in your guacamole. You can skip the browning altogether and buy a guacamole single pack, which already includes citric acid, the main ingredient in the fruit preserver.

Use homemade, store-bought guac, or even leftovers from taco night to make a healthy lunch! There’s no right or wrong way to pack it.

Ingredients

  • 2 ounces guacamole, or single serve guac
  • 1 serving whole grain chips, your favorite
  • 1 cup fresh veggies, washed and sliced
  • 1 ounce cheese cubes, optional

Instructions

  • Fill a small lidded dip container with guacamole or pack a single-serve guac inside the main compartment of the bento box.
  • Place your favorite tortilla chips around the guacamole, in this compartment. The idea is to keep all dry ingredients here so the chips don't get soggy.
  • Wash and slice fresh veggies –like bell peppers or cherry tomatoes- an place them in another compartment of the lunchbox.
  • Place any other ingredients, like cheese cubes or black olives (shown) in a separate compartment or inside a lidded container.
  • Close the lid to the bento box and refrigerate until ready to pack inside a lunch bag. This lunch can be assembled the night before.
