  1. A small container of peanut butter beside a pile of Subtle Minis in an open lunchbox, shot from above on a clean, bright surface.

    Minis + Peanut Butter

    8g protein per 1 oz bag

    What you need One 1 oz bag of Minis and peanut butter

    Crunchy, creamy, and built for dipping. Spoon the peanut butter into a small lidded container and pack the Minis in their own bag so they stay crisp, then dip at lunch. For a nut-free option, swap in sunflower-seed butter.

  2. A Subtle Chocolate rice cake sitting in the dessert compartment of a lunchbox, shot from directly above.

    Chocolate Crunch

    110 calories · 8g protein per 1 oz bag

    What you need One 1 oz bag of Chocolate Minis

    Sweet, crispy, and ready to pack. Drop the sealed bag straight into the lunchbox where the cookie usually goes. If you are portioning from a bigger bag, measure one ounce into a small container the night before.

  3. A Subtle Hint of Salt rice cake next to a string cheese on a clean, bright background.

    Hint of Salt + String Cheese

    120 calories · 8g protein per 1 oz bag

    What you need One 1 oz bag of Hint of Salt Minis and string cheese

    A salty, cheesy pairing with zero prep. Pack one string cheese alongside a bag of Minis. Keep the cheese cold in an insulated lunch bag with an ice pack, and sit the Minis outside the cold pack so they do not soften.

  4. Fanned apple slices beside a Subtle Peanut Butter and Honey rice cake, shot from above.

    Peanut Butter + Honey With Apple

    110 calories · 8g protein per 1 oz bag

    What you need One 1 oz bag of Peanut Butter & Honey Minis and sliced apple

    Sweet, crisp, and easy to eat. Core and slice half an apple, toss the slices with a squeeze of lemon juice so they do not brown, and pack them in a small container beside the Minis. For a nut-free option, pair Hint of Salt Minis with apple and sunflower-seed butter.

  5. A small pot of thick vanilla yogurt surrounded by Subtle Minis, shot from above on a bright surface.

    Minis + Greek Yogurt Dip

    8g protein per 1 oz bag, plus yogurt

    What you need One 1 oz bag of Minis and Greek yogurt

    Crunch, dip, repeat. Spoon about half a cup of Greek yogurt into a sealed container and pack it inside an insulated lunch bag with an ice pack. Keep the Minis separate so they stay crunchy, then dip straight from the container.

  6. A rolled slice of deli turkey beside a Subtle Hint of Salt rice cake on a clean, bright background.

    Hint of Salt + Turkey Roll-Ups

    Protein built in

    What you need Hint of Salt and sliced turkey

    Roll the turkey, pack the crunch separately, and lunch is handled. Lay two slices flat, roll each into a tight log, and add a toothpick if they need holding. Use an insulated lunch bag with an ice pack.

  7. Halved strawberries in a lunchbox compartment next to a Subtle Chocolate rice cake, shot from above.

    Chocolate + Strawberries

    Sweet + crunchy

    What you need Chocolate and strawberries

    Chocolate crunch plus juicy strawberries. Rinse and dry a handful of berries, hull them, and halve them so they are easy to grab without getting smashed. Pack them in their own container so the juice stays off the Minis.
