Ingredients
  

Protein Base
  • 4 large eggs hard-boiled and peeled
  • 1 4 teaspoon sea salt to taste
  • 1 4 teaspoon black pepper freshly ground
Crunchy Sides
  • 1 cup whole wheat crackers crispy
  • 1 2 cup baby carrots fresh
  • 1 2 cup cucumber slices thinly sliced
Optional Additions
  • 1 4 cup grapes fresh
  • 2 tablespoons hummus optional dip

Equipment

  • Saucepan
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Knife
  • Storage Containers
  • Tray
  • Freezer

Method
 

  1. Place eggs in a saucepan, cover with water, and boil until the centers feel firm.
  2. Cool eggs in cold water, peel carefully, and slice in half for easier snacking.
  3. Season eggs lightly with sea salt and black pepper for balanced flavor.
  4. Arrange crackers, carrots, cucumber slices, and grapes neatly inside snack containers.
  5. Add eggs and hummus last, keeping crunchy ingredients separated for better texture.

Notes

Keep crackers separate until serving for maximum crunch. Chill eggs fully before packing to maintain firm texture and freshness. Avoid freezing assembled snack boxes because vegetables lose crispness after thawing. Handle eggs gently to prevent cracking. Customize flavors with cheese cubes, turkey slices, or ranch seasoning. Store refrigerated for four days.
