# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • Zero cooking required, so you can put these together during a coffee break or while scrolling through your phone.
  • Keeps you full for hours because you're hitting protein, healthy fats, and fiber all at once.
  • The satisfaction of opening a beautifully arranged box is weirdly mood-boosting on a rough day.
02 -
  • Crackers and hummus are enemies in a closed container—keep them separate or they'll betray you within hours.
  • Lemon juice on apple slices really does prevent browning, and it's such a small move that transforms the entire eating experience on day three.
03 -
  • Buy a rotisserie chicken on Sunday and your protein problem is solved for the entire week.
  • If you can't find small containers for hummus, a muffin tin works perfectly for portioning, and you can scoop directly into the boxes before sealing.
