Instructions
Assembly
- Choose your container: mason jars, small bento boxes, or reusable silicone cups.
- Start with a base: spoon 1/2 cup Greek yogurt into the bottom for parfait-style jars; for savory options, spread 2 tablespoons hummus.
- Add layers for texture: sprinkle 2 tablespoons mixed nuts or seeds, then add a handful of fresh fruit or vegetable sticks.
- Add a crunchy side: tuck whole-grain crackers or rice cakes beside the jar, or layer them on top if sealing.
- Finish with flavor: drizzle 1 teaspoon nut butter or a sprinkle of dark chocolate chips.
- Seal and store: close with an airtight lid and refrigerate until ready to go.
- For roasted chickpeas, roast at 400°F for 20–25 minutes until crisp.
Notes
Refrigerate jars for up to 4 days; pack crunchy items separately to preserve texture. Freeze portions of nut butter for longer storage. Toast seeds and nuts for enhanced flavor.
