We are living in times where most people are busier than ever. In return, we´re giving our kids and ourselves prepackaged foods for lunch or going out for a quick bite. The problem? This pattern can get very expensive, but worst of all, it´s very unhealthy. Today, I´m going to show you how to make 5 Easy Lunchbox Recipes that will bring excitement back to lunch time.
All 5 of these lunchbox recipes are super easy to make, each one comes together within minutes and they each pack some serious flavors. But the past part? They are all very healthy.
These lunchbox recipes are not just for kids, but adults too! By just taking a few minutes in the morning or the night before, you and your family can get on the road to eating healthy food, that is super delicious and won´t break the bank.
TIPS & TRICKS to Make these Recipes: For the recipes that use bread, I used a crunchy baguette, it makes all the difference versus regular sandwich bread. For some of the sides I used pringles (regular flavor), but you can use any flavor you like. Also, the crackers I used for some sides are very similar to Ritz crackers. EXPERT TIP: You can make these lunch packs the night before. Just cover the sandwich or wrap in saran wrap, add to the lunch box and place in the fridge. This helps from the ingredients drying out.
Key Ingredients & Cookware I used in these Recipes:
MY SWISS DIAMON FRYING PANS
EXTRA VIRGIN SPANISH OLIVE OIL
SPANISH SEA SALT
