Sometimes nothing beats a bright, fresh salad filled with all the flavours you love. No forced rainbows or super exotic ingredients, though these are fun! No, sometimes you just want familiar flavours that work. For this, we have the super fresh snow pea lunchbox! Snow peas for a fresh crunch, tomatoes for their bold flavour, toasted pepitas for a bit of texture – you can’t go wrong.
To fill it out, we went with a couscous, red kidney bean and hummus stack. Don’t forget the chilli on top for a bit of kick! This section ensures you don’t feel a bit underfed – green vegetables and salad are so, so good for you but sometimes if you don’t pair it with something a little heavier you end up feeling hungry again pretty soon – crisis averted here.
What’s also exciting in this lunch box is we went to the organic store and tried some Coyo! We’ve heard so much about Coyo in the past and thought we just had to give it a try. It’s this dairy free coconut yoghurt which has a different sort of texture to some of the yoghurts we’re used to. It’s definitely more solid! Anyway we loved their branding so knew we had to try some and weren’t disappointed. We paired it up with some crunchy, dark cacao nibs and fresh fruit to make it sing, then served it over some organic puffed cereal. Heaven!
