Think packing lunches needs to be time-consuming? Think again! Loaded with whole foods, these charcuterie bistro boxes are a quick and easy lunch idea that you can whip together for a week’s worth of healthy meals.

When it comes to food, I’m all about two things; real and easy. There is certainly a time and a place for recipes and cooking and cleaning, but more often than not, we just need something we can make quickly and feel good about eating, enter bistro boxes. Not only are they ready in minutes, but bistro boxes are convenient to pack, store well in the fridge, and make it easy to create a well-balanced meal without a lot of work. By simply combining some protein, fat, fruits and veggies, you can easily create a delicious and nutritious meal without any cooking at all.

These charcuterie bistro boxes are essentially a cheese board to-go, which is something I think most people can get behind! You can truly use any combination of cheese, meat, fruit, veggies, nuts and condiments you like, this combination just happens to be my go-to combo! When it comes to buying cheese, it is best to buy minimally processed options, made with minimal ingredients, but what is most important is to read the label on all dairy products and look for the blue cow logo to ensure that you are buying 100% Canadian dairy. Not only does Canada have some of the highest dairy standards in the world, but Ontario Dairy Farmers are continuously improving and perfecting the craft of dairy farming to ensure Canadians are consuming the highest quality dairy products possible, making it the perfect ingredient for these charcuterie bistro boxes!
