Good morning lovelies.
Happy Monday! I started off this week on the right foot with a nutrient-packed smoothie.
- 1/3 C. frozen strawberries
- 1/3 C. frozen pineapple
- 1/3 C. frozen mango
- 1 T. ground flax
- 1/2 scoop vanilla protein
- 1 C. coconut milk
- handful of spinach
- topped with pomegranate seeds
A delicious energy booster!
Today marks Day 1 of the Lunchbox Challenge. <—click here to catch up if you’re just joining us!
Week 1 of the Lunchbox Challenge is all about wraps. It’s time to get funky and make your wraps interesting, healthy, and delicious!
All wrapped up:
- 1 La Tortilla Factory wrap
- 1/2 baked sweet potato (skin removed)
- baby spinach
- tempeh
- pomegranate seeds
Spread your tortilla with sweet potato.
Choose your sides, and you’ve got a healthy lunch!
- tropical fruit tart larabar
- veggies & hummus
- cantaloupe
Hello, beta carotene!
Adam’s lunch is kid-friendly and healthy, too!
- peanut butter on whole wheat
- sliced apples (with lemon juice to preserve freshness)
- garlic & herb pita chips
- pomegranate seeds
- juice: apple mixed with 100% pom juice
Well I’m off to school. Can’t wait for lunchtime! Have a fab day!
Tell me: what is in your lunchbox today? Or if you ate at home/out—what did you have?

Jenn @ Peas & Crayons
Aww, I just love these lunch boxes!
Lunch today will be leftover minestrone soup from last week. :)
Since it started snowing here, my lab is closed for today and lunch will be at home.
I love both your and Adam's lunch box!
What a great idea! I am going to have to try a little tempeh with my sweet potato... :)
Ahh, your lunchbox looks delicious! I wish I saw this earlier, I would have completely taken pictures of my lunch.
Main dish: Chicken teriyaki w/pineapple and green pepper - leftovers from dinner last night
Homemade Roasted Red Pepper Hummus w/carrots

I NEED a bento box. I never needed one because one of my perks of working for myself is coming home for lunch. But still, they look so cool!
I am off to make a green smoothie now. I love how you topped yours with some pomegranate seeds. Looks so good!
LOL I posted all about my lunches today too! I did a 5 days of sandwiches challenge a while ago but I love your wrap idea, and this one looks ahhhmazing! In my lunch today I've got a quinoa and sweet potato salad with chicken and other veggies. I just finished it.. and now I want more! Can't wait to see the rest of the wraps! :)
Mmm pomegranate seeds are so good for you! What a great idea adding them to the smoothie!
I love wraps, but rarely eat them....I always have a salad for lunch with carrots, spinach, avocado, and a dressing. Sometimes I throw on some roasted chickpeas, seeds, etc.
Yum!
xxoo
Your lunch and Adam's both look great! I love wraps and definitely need to get more creative with the contents :)
I had a big salad with avocado, apple, orange tahini dressing, broken pretzels, and warm black beans! Sounds weird...tasted yummy!
Your wrap idea has inspired me! Today I had to use up an everything bagel thin before it goes bad (don't want to waste!) so I added romaine, lean chicken breast slices, provolone cheese, dijon mustard and hot peppers. Also had raw carrots, a few small dill pickles and water!
Planning on including any lettuce wraps in your 4 wraps? That's what's on the menu for lunch for me this week :)

By the way - green smoothies have been all over many of the blogs I follow lately! I will definitely be trying it as soon as I get to the grocery store and pick up some fresh spinach! :)

yum! i love wraps. excited to be a new follower of such a cute blog :)
I had a wrap today and totally thought of you!! Mine had hummus, laughing cow cheese, spinach and bell pepper. I wrapped it all up in my homemade tortilla. It was incredible!
I need a bento box too! where did you get yours?
Man, I haven't had a wrap in so long. When I lived on campus, there was this place that made the most amazing wraps. I love mine stuffed with veggies and hummus.
I took the time to peel a pomegranate last night after it was in my fridge for two weeks. It was amazing!!! Unfortunately my first reaction to the sweet seeds was pomegranate margaritas!!! A healthy lunch never occured to me until I saw your post today. LOL
That wrap looks so insanely good - You must come make my lunches for me!!!
I love your lunches and your photos are BEAUTIFUL!!!!
you should do a Project 52 if you aren't already....your photography is awesome!

@Priyanka Oh, a snow day sounds fun! :)
@Sarah @ The Smart Kitchen Try it out! It's a surprisingly great combo!
@Melissa Sounds like a great balanced lunch!
E-mail me pictures if you want me to include any lunches in my round-up at the end of the week! :)
@Laury @The FitnessDish They are pretty darn cool--plus, they make packing lunch so much more fun!
The pomegranate added a great touch! The best drinks were when I got a pom seed with the smoothie! :)
@eatspinrunrepeat Well I just commented about that quinoa and sweet potato salad. I really want some of that. Fed-ex? ;)
@Kris | iheartwellness.com Your salad lunch sounds delicious too! Most of the time at school I'm eating my lunch on-the-go and a wrap is the easiest thing to eat! :)
@Lisa @ Thrive Style Thanks!
Actually that salad sounds delish! I love weird combos--they always turn out the best! :)
@Brittany Elizabeth Yay! That is my ultimate goal!
Ohh, I didn't even think about lettuce wraps--but you've got my wheel-a-turnin'! Thanks for the suggestion!! :)
@Sam {fitnessfoodandfaith.blogspot.com} Aw, thanks so much for the sweet compliment!!! xoxo
@Kat :) :) Hummus and laughing cow is such a great combo! I could probably eat it plain!
How did you make your homemade tortillas? Did you post about it?
@Meg Veggies and hummus always leads to a good wrap. And to a good meal. :)
@Carla haha There's always room for margaritas! ;)
@JenATX I got it at laptoplunches.com
@cleaneatingchelsey.com haha How much would I make to be your personal wrapper? ;)
@ToriWell, thank you! :)
My lunchbox consisted of a bagel thin sandwich, edamame, tomatoes and yellow bell pepper. Your wrap looks delish! I really need to start making those instead of the thins!
YUM that sounds like a killer sammie!! i had.... greek yogurt with homemade pecan butter... and grilled veggies with hummus !
Where did you get your cup with the straw? I've been looking for reusable straws and the cup is really cute!
i LOVE LOVE LOVE your lunchbox!? Where did you get that?? The wrap you made is super creative...My lunch yesterday was boring and today it's pre-made...Hm maybe i need to challenge myself too!
@Sophia @ Raven Waves Yum! The thins make great sandwiches too! :)
@movesnmunchies I made homemade pecan butter a while back--so good!! :)
@Melissa @ "Eat on the Run" The straws came with Aladdin reusable cups. I got them in a pack at Costco!
I got the cup at Target last year! :)
@fashionfitnessfoodie Thanks! laptoplunches.com :)
Challenge yourself girl! It will be fun! :)
I am so happy you are doing this! I seriously struggle with lunch ideas every day. You should made a tab at the top of your blog to store them so we can look back for ideas :)
