How to Build Your Own Low Carb Lunch Box

Level up your lunch with our quick, easy and foolproof DIY lunch box guide

It's time to start building your own Low Carb lunch boxes - here's why! 👇

Lunchtime calls for a nourishing and satisfying meal to help you recover from a busy morning - as well as fuel you through the midafternoon slump. That's no mean feat!

It's all too easy to grab something on the move - whether from a cafe or supermarket, but these options don't always cut the mustard.

Here are just some of the reasons why making your own lunch box at home is a much better idea:

  • Choose what you love - animal proteins, low carb veggies & sugar-free snacks
  • Avoid what you don't love - grains, gluten, seed oils & artificial ingredients
  • Lunch nature's way - 100% natural ingredients - not a processed product in sight
  • Fresh & flavoursome - not bland and packed with preservatives
  • Save your hard-earned cash - avoid the price premium of supermarkets and cafes
  • Eat sustainably - reuse your lunch box & cutlery, choose sustainable ingredients and eliminate air miles too
  • Delicious & nutritious - give your body the nutrients it needs to thrive (and your whole family's too)
