This is such an easy, affordable, tasty, low-calorie, healthy lunch. A nice change from the usual salads, and holds up really well in the fridge as the week progresses. Bonus: It’s been helping me lose a little weight before my wedding!

Like someone else said, I also add a hard boiled egg and an apple to this, and I’m full and satisfied through the afternoon.

Thanks so much, Beth!

What an awesome idea block for a super-convenient, healthy, low-cost, tasty-o lunch away from (or at) home. I appreciate the simplicity! Worked great and keeps very well. :)

I send basically the same lunch for my husband most days. He loves roasted garlic hummus for his veggies. I will also send him some cheese and always a hard boiled egg. I believe the hard boiled egg helps to fill him up and he dips it in the hummus also. We can’t forget his apple at lunch either.

Could vary the peanut butter lunch with other nut butters, the hummus lunch with Tzatziki or, Taboleh, the cheese lunch with cottage cheese with addins or salad dressing in a tiny container. Deviled eggs. Leftover meat from dinner, are options. My sister does this with assorted cut up raw. vegetables and homemade dips. But cooked vegetables could be subbed on cold days if you have a micro, or they can be a different style cold salad. I have a bento box I do this with at home, so I don’t forget to eat. Also from Amazon.

I really enjoyed this, and it was very easy. I used a half cup of hummus and replaced the olives for slices of red bell pepper that I happened to have on hand. I’m just not a big fan of olives, but I like the crunch of a fresh pepper slice. I also like how healthy it is.

It isn’t enough to keep me happy throughout my 12 hour workday though, but I make up for it by throwing in some other healthy snacks like Greek yogurt and fruit.

For those who were looking for exact daily measurements. This recipe is for 4 days. For each day portion out 1/4 cup hummus, 1/2 a pita, 1.5 oz of olives each day. ( I don’t worry about veggie portions as the are calorically low and so good for you!!)

This is one of my favorite light lunch ideas, too. I noticed, though, that Beth says she drained the olives and left it at that. I never throw out the “juice” from kalamata olives! If you drain a box of tofu, pat it dry a bit (no need to do the paper towel-n-plates smash), pour the kalamata olive juice on it, and put it in the refrigerator, the tofu will absorb the juice overnight. What you’re left with is a feta-like, crumbly tofu that is fabulous sprinkled on salads, in wraps, etc. If salt is an issue, I have also made this using half water and half kalamata olive juice, and it tastes (almost) just as good, although the texture is affected (it’s a little less crumbly). This keeps in the refrigerator for about two weeks, but it never lasts that long.

The container you have linked to only has two compartments rather than three you have pictured. Is there a corrected link available?
