We used a PlanetBox container here, one of a few that are part of our everyday setup, because it's durable, travels well, and holds up to daily use at home and on the road.

Here’s a lunch box that keeps things simple, fresh, and satisfyingly light — perfect for an active school day. This combo of golden potatoes and savory seitan offers hearty plant-based protein and complex carbs without feeling too heavy. Paired with a colorful mix of fresh fruits and crisp raw vegetables, it’s a well-balanced option that delivers fiber, vitamins, and energy in every bite.

Compared to our more filling box with baked leek-almond bites and green beans, this version leans a little lighter while still packing plenty of nutrients. Seitan provides a solid dose of iron and protein, while potatoes are rich in potassium and resistant starch. Add in the hydration and natural sweetness from fruits, plus the crunch and antioxidants from raw veggies, and you’ve got a vibrant, wholesome lunch that keeps little bellies full — but not weighed down.
