Ingredients

Starbucks Copycat Protein Box

Cottage Cheese Protein Box (Post-Workout)

Turkey Pinwheel Protein Box (Kid-Friendly)

  • 3 turkey pinwheels
  • 1 ounce parmesan cheese
  • 2 Tablespoons hummus
  • ½ cup baby carrots and mini cucumbers
  • ½ cup red grapes

Chicken Salad Protein Box (Low Carb)

  • ½ cup chicken salad
  • 1 hard-boiled egg
  • ½ cup cucumber and red bell pepper
  • 2 Tablespoons pistachios or roasted chickpeas
  • ½ cup mixed berries

Instructions

  • Prepare any homemade components: hard-boiled eggs, turkey pinwheels, chicken salad and protein balls.
  • Wash and slice the fruit and veggies. Cube the cheeses.
  • Divide the ingredients for each box between the compartments of a three-compartment meal prep container. Place hummus, nut butter and nuts in small cups.
  • Sprinkle the eggs in the Starbucks copycat box with everything bagel seasoning.
  • Cover and refrigerate for up to 4 days.

Notes

  • Make ahead: Keep eggs whole until the day you eat them and add sliced apples close to serving. Dry berries well before packing and store crackers separately to keep them crisp.
  • Storage: Refrigerate boxes in airtight containers for up to 3–4 days. Count storage time from when any prepared components, like chicken salad, were originally made. Freezing the assembled boxes isn’t recommended.
