Copycat Starbucks Protein Boxes

A delicious DIY solution for healthy snacking that’s customizable and packed with protein.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 Hard-Boiled Eggs
  • 1 cup Cheese (any type)
  • 1 cup Fruit (e.g., apple slices, berries)
  • 1/2 cup Peanut Butter
  • 2 slices Whole Grain Bread or 10 Crackers
  • 1/4 cup Nuts (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the hard-boiled eggs: Place your eggs in a pot and cover them with cold water (about 1 inch above the eggs). Bring the water to a gentle boil over medium heat, cover the pot, and remove it from the heat. Let the eggs sit in the hot water for about 10-12 minutes. Transfer to an ice bath, let cool, peel, and set aside.
  2. Prepare your cheese: Slice the cheese into portions or add cheese wedges directly.
  3. Assemble your fruits: Core and slice apples, drizzle lemon juice on them to prevent browning, and arrange them in the corner of the box. Rinse and dry berries and arrange them nearby.
  4. Scoop the peanut butter into a small container or drop a dollop in the box.
  5. Add the whole grain bread or crackers, cutting the bread into strips if needed.
  6. Sprinkle nuts into the box, if using.

Notes

For a Mediterranean twist, swap peanut butter for hummus. Try several variations using seasonal fruits and different types of cheese!
