Print Recipe

High-Protein No-Cook Lunchbox Snack Pack is a customizable, grab-and-go meal featuring hard-boiled eggs, deli meats, cheese, crunchy veggies, hummus, and nuts for balanced nutrition. It’s perfect for busy days, requiring no cooking beyond boiling eggs and prepping in 15 minutes for multiple servings.

Ingredients

Scale

(Serves 1 lunchbox; scale up for meal prep)

  • 1 hard-boiled egg, peeled and halved

  • 2 oz (60g) turkey or chicken deli meat, sliced

  • 1 oz (30g) cheddar cheese, cubed

  • ¼ cup (60g) hummus

  • ¼ cup (30g) mixed nuts (e.g., almonds)

  • ½ cup cherry tomatoes

  • ½ cup cucumber slices

  • ½ cup sugar snap peas

These portions draw from customizable snack pack recipes.​

Instructions

  1. Boil eggs for 10 minutes, cool in ice water, peel, and halve.

  2. Portion hummus and nuts into small separate containers to avoid sogginess.

  3. Arrange egg, deli meat, cheese, tomatoes, cucumber, and snap peas in a single-compartment lunchbox; add the small containers.

  4. Seal and refrigerate up to 5 days; eat cold.

Notes

  • Swap cheese for nuts or yogurt to go dairy-free; use gluten-free crackers if adding carbs.

  • Boost protein to 40g+ by adding extra egg or jerky; stays fresh without refrigeration for hours if kept cool.

  • Ideal for high-protein preferences like your past no-cook requests.​
