- Assemble the boxes: stack a ham and cheese wrap and a Buffalo chicken wrap on top of each other on one side of your box; place the container of hummus and the bag of mixed nuts on the other side; lay the carrots and peppers on top of the nuts; tuck your little piece of chocolate on top and seal the boxes.
- Store in your refrigerator until you are ready for a delicious protein packed lunch! Or breakfast, or dinner.
