I find myself always buying the Egg and Cheese Bistro Box from Starbucks. I decided to save some money by creating a DIY healthier version. It’s high in fiber, protein, and healthy fats. It’s also a great portable lunch to take to work!

I buy eggs that are already boiled from Whole Foods – but you can boil your own with this egg cooker:

Compared to Starbucks:

My Bistro Box has more calories, but that is mainly because of the much larger portion of nut butter in mine. My box has 7g more protein and 6g more fiber, with the same amount of fat.
