Preparation
  1. Choose a protein option: scramble or hard-boil 6 eggs, or cook 1 pound of lean turkey sausage or diced chicken, or drain and season 2 cans of beans.
  2. Prepare the grain: Cook 2 cups of quinoa or brown rice, or prepare 4 slices of whole grain toast.
  3. Add veggies: roast or sauté a mix of bell peppers, spinach, or broccoli until tender.
  4. Portion fruit: wash and cut berries, apple slices, or orange segments.
  5. Assemble boxes: in 4 to 6 meal boxes, add a portion of grains, a portion of protein, a serving of veggies, and some fruit.
  6. Add extras: include a small container of hummus, salsa, or yogurt for dipping or topping.
  7. Seal boxes and keep in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat the protein and grain in the microwave for 60 to 90 seconds, or enjoy cold.

Notes

Use airtight containers to keep food fresh longer. Cool cooked food before sealing to avoid soggy boxes. Mix flavors by adding different sauces or herbs to avoid boredom. Prep ingredients separately, then assemble for best texture.
