One of the biggest reasons I started MarlaMeridith.com was to answer the loads of inquiries I had all the time regarding my daily lunchbox specials. I make 3 boxed lunches per day. One for me and one for each of my kids =3. The ingredients may vary from box to box, but the essentials are all there. Fresh fruit, veggies, lean proteins, whole grains and healthy fats fill our lunch boxes. Sometimes I include leftovers from the night before, other times I toss in a sandwich or in this case a wrap.
No matter what, the meals have been made in our kitchen with the best possible ingredients I can find. Crafting your own lunches from scratch is quick and simple when you have your ingredients prepped and at the ready. It’s just grab and go when everything is staged and lookin’ all pretty your fridge.
When you pack a lunchbox the benefits are huge. Not only do you save money, you can control portion sizes and use much higher quality ingredients than if you were to purchase take out food. I will share a simple wrap that you can make for yourself or your kids. It is very tasty and can be prepared in a pinch.
