A refreshing way to prep and pack lunch with Monbento's Square Lunch Box

As the use of disposable plastic containers decreases, many have taken the initiative to bring lunch boxes to work. Lunch boxes are an eco-friendly, sustainable and cost-saving alternative as you get to save time and money by packing your own healthy lunch as opposed to purchasing a costly meal in a restaurant.

One of our most loved lunch boxes is by Monbento. Monbento's lunch boxes reinvent the conventional style of packed lunches with its tiered design, bright colours, and spacious compartments. Inspired by the Japanese style bento lunch, these quality lunch boxes are made in France and are designed to promote healthy eating. They have numerous compartments to boost food variety, prevent ingredients from getting mixed or soggy and help you maintain a balanced diet.

Having a delicious, fresh and crisp Caesar Salad for lunch is perhaps a norm for some of us. Instead of packing it regularly like every other day, how about giving your usual Caesar Salad an exciting twist? This easy caesar salad wrap recipe is the perfect way to balance your carb, vegetable and protein intake for the day!

Ingredients

For 2 persons:

• 200g of chicken breast
• 2 eggs
• 3 to 4 handfuls of a young shoots salad
• 2 large wraps
• 4 Tsp of grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 Tsp of cooking oil

Instructions:

Preparation of the eggs and chicken:

1. Start by boiling 1L of water and cook the 3 eggs. Remove 1 egg after 2 minutes. Leave it under cold water. It will be used to make the sauce. Let the other 2 eggs cook for a further 10 minutes.
2. Cut the chicken into long strips and cook in olive oil for 4 minutes on each side. Be careful not to cook it for too long to keep it tender.
3. After 10 minutes, pass the eggs under cold water to facilitate removal of the shell. Cut into small cubes.
4. Let the chicken strips cool down. Then slice into cubes.

For the sauce:

1. Remove the shell from the egg that cooked only 2 minutes and place it in a blender bowl.
2. Add all the ingredients of the sauce (excluding salt and pepper) and mix until you get a smooth texture. Adjust the seasoning according to taste.

To make the Wraps:

1. Spread the sauce on the wrap, then add a handful of young shoots.
2. Add chicken pieces, egg and parmesan. Add a little sauce, salt and pepper (depending on taste).
3. Fold the ends of the wrap and roll on itself. Cut diagonally to get 2 generous half wraps.
4. Place in a compartment of MB Square on a bed of sprout salad.

Can be served with:

• 1 salad of tomatoes, mozzarella, basil with a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper.
• 1 seasonal and exotic fruits salad in the food cup.

Enjoy the remaining Caesar sauce by drizzling it on the salad!
