Print Recipe

A balanced, prepped snack box with hard-boiled eggs, turkey roll-ups, cheese cubes, fresh fruit, and nuts. Perfect for busy mornings and on-the-go snacking.

Ingredients

  • Hard-boiled eggs, peeled and halved (2 per box)
  • Turkey breast deli slices, rolled up (3-4 slices per box)
  • Cheddar cheese cubes (1/4 cup per box)
  • Apple slices, tossed in lemon juice (1/2 apple per box)
  • Grapes, red or green (1/2 cup per box)
  • Almonds or walnuts (1/4 cup per box)
  • Baby carrots or cucumber slices (1/2 cup per box)
  • Hummus or ranch dip (2 tablespoons per box, optional)

Instructions

  1. Boil the eggs: Place eggs in a saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to a rolling boil, then cover and remove from heat. Let sit for 10-12 minutes. Drain and transfer to an ice bath for 5 minutes. Peel and halve.
  2. Prep the fruit: Wash and dry the grapes. Slice the apple into thin wedges and toss with a squeeze of lemon juice to prevent browning.
  3. Cube the cheese: Cut the cheddar into 1/2-inch cubes.
  4. Roll the turkey: Take each slice of turkey and roll it tightly from one end to the other. Slice each roll in half if desired.
  5. Portion the nuts and veggies: Measure out almonds and baby carrots or cucumber slices. If using cucumber, slice into rounds and pat dry.
  6. Assemble the boxes: Divide the ingredients among your containers. Place eggs in one compartment, turkey rolls in another, cheese cubes in a third, and fruit and veggies in the remaining sections. If using hummus or ranch, add it to a small compartment or use a mini silicone cup.
  7. Store properly: Seal the containers and refrigerate. They’ll stay fresh for up to 4 days. For best results, add the nuts and grapes just before eating.

Notes

Don’t skip the lemon juice on the apples to prevent browning. Pat all ingredients dry to avoid sogginess. Keep nuts separate until eating to maintain crunch. For best results, prep on Sunday for the week ahead.
