Light Meal: Pita Pocket & Veggies
Lunch boxes don’t have to be all-or-nothing — either perfectly homemade or packed with nothing but snacks. A pita pocket filled with oat-milk cream cheese, chives, and fresh veggies makes a solid base: the cream cheese and pita bring protein, the vegetables add fiber and micronutrients, and the almond base in the spread gives healthy fats. You can easily add fresh avocado to the sandwich for an extra boost of nutrients and healthy fats. Add a pack of BelVita on the side, and you’ve got steady-release carbs to keep energy up through the afternoon. Unlike heavier cooked lunches, this lighter option keeps energy steady without weighing you down, and keeps a nice balance to tick all the boxes — fuel, flavor, and convenience.
Fresh vegetables. From cucumber or carrot spears, cherry tomatoes, celery, radish and bell peppers. Anything goes!
In the small compartment right in the middle of the lunch box, there's a small portion of black olives.
Belvita biscuits, made with whole-wheat flour. A sweet treat to make it even more fun!
