# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • No cooking required, just 15 minutes of smart assembly that feels more fun than stressful.
  • High protein keeps you full without the afternoon energy crash.
  • Endlessly customizable, so they never feel boring even when you make them weekly.
02 -
  • Keep crackers separate or pack them last—moisture is the enemy, and soggy crackers will ruin the whole vibe in just a few hours.
  • Lemon juice on apple slices is non-negotiable; it prevents browning and adds brightness that makes the whole box taste fresher.
03 -
  • Buy pre-cooked rotisserie chicken from the grocery store and shred it yourself—it's fresher than deli meat and takes 2 minutes to prep.
  • Label your boxes with a Sharpie and the date; it becomes a game to finish them before they expire, and everything stays organized in the fridge.
