3 DIY Cafe Style Protein Boxes
Imagine if eating healthier was easy? It's something I'm always venting about with my husband. With my busy schedule, I'm often struggling to put together a healthy lunch for myself. The only thing that has worked is planning ahead. As soon as I get off track though, it's pure mayhem. Can you relate? A recent discovery of the new Rubbermaid Balance Meal Kits has me feeling hopeful again. I created 3 cafe style protein boxes that are changing my lunch game. This is a sponsored post about Rubbermaid Balance Meal Kits, all opinions are my own. 
Meal planning with just the right portions just got so much easier. Each Rubbermaid Balance Meal Kit comes with pre-portioned protein, grain, fruit, and vegetable containers. Now, all we have to do is fill em' up and we're good to go. Less thinking and no measuring. Right up my alley. The kit also comes with plenty of ideas if you need a kick-start too. *Raises hand*. From hummus, chicken and yogurt combos to rice and salad based ideas. There are some magic foodie combo ideas right in your box.
Each container has a coordinating symbol on it, so we won't forget which is which. My mind is racing with fun ideas on how to fill each container up with fun and fresh combos. I thought it would be cool to start experimenting with copycat cafe style protein boxes. You know, the ones you can pay big bucks for at the drive through in a pinch? I love those so much, but my wallet does not. Plus, sitting at the drive-through at lunch is a major time sucker. I'm a fan of working smarter, not harder. I love the three ideas that I came up with and I hope you do too!

3 DIY Protein Boxes
Cheese & Fruit Protein Box
Make a tasty cheese & fruit box with your choice of add-ins. I love apples, celery, cheese, crackers, a boiled egg to help keep me full for this one.
PB&J Protein Box
I love PB&J so much! Total classic throwback. Make it better by adding peanut butter and jelly to whole grain pita and add cheese, apples and carrots for a filling lunch on-the-go.
Egg & Cheese Protein Box
This box features boiled eggs, grapes, celery, wheat pita with peanut butter spread on it. Another filling lunch idea.
I just made myself hungry! Time to go grab a protein box. 
Oh you guys! I almost forgot to mention these extra bonuses! These meal kits are BPA-free AND microwave, dishwasher, and freezer safe. The kits are available at retailers nationwide.

I really like the Rubbermaid Balance Meal Kits! Especially great for traveling and putting in the ice chest for quick and easy no stop meals -
These are great to add to my daily routines. I am always looking for good, healthy options!
I have been seeing these in the grocery store, but they are expensive! I am going to try and make my own.
These are great ideas! I love how easy these are to make!
This looks absolutely delicious! I love the combination of options. I love eggs and grapes - awesome combination. Looks absolutely delicious!
I think this would be perfect for sending to school for my son's lunch. I need to get a few of these.
I am amazed that Rubbermaid has come out with these. These are great boxes. I love them. They are such great meals for kids and adults too. You have put together some wonderful and healthy foods.
I love this! I'm always looking for healthy on the go snack ideas.
These Rubbermaid Balance Meal Kits will be perfect for lunch on the go. I am always looking for ways to make my day easier.
I tend to over eat especially at lunch, this would be great for me. And great for my kids, yummy yet healthy.
I love easy and cute lunchbox options! Since we homeschool, we are always looking for ways to NOT have to spend money on lunch outside of the house when we go out - and we go out a LOT. Portability is super important, as well as durability, and I know Rubbermaid is fantastic with durability!
I love your healthy ideas and they look so delish! I may do some chickpeas, light crackers, grapes and snap peas.
These are great ideas to send with my kids for lunch. They get so tired of sandwiches.
These are definitely good lunch ideas! The meal kits are seriously perfect! What a nice way to keep things balanced!
These are awesome ideas! We buy Lunchables and they are so expensive. I'm thrilled that there are ways to make them myself.
That looks like a lot of great snacks that are healthy! I snack a lot and this would help curb the over snacking!
I am a MAJOR over-eater, so anything that helps me with portion control is awesome in my book. I need to grab a set of these boxes.
That balance meal kit is pure genius. Not only does it help us portion correctly, it also keeps everything separate. I hate when my food gets all jumbled up.
This is the best thing I've ever seen! FINALLY someone comes up with a way to take a long a full meal without it getting all mixed up and gross.
