Brunch Box — The Skinny Fork by Gordon Ramsay

Like I said, I’ve been asked for more lunch/meal prep box ideas so I’ve been hard at work churning a few of them out. This Brunch Box is generally my go-to meal prep box. Let’s face it, for a lot of us out there, we’re far too busy in the morning to actually sit down and eat breakfast. For me, my ‘breakfast’ time generally rolls in more so somewhere around 10 in the morning. Which, is really more of brunch time than breakfast or lunch. That’s one of the reasons this is dubbed, the Brunch Box.

Another reason is that theres a mix of sweet and savory things in here that you might more traditionally find at brunch. Especially the egg and the fruit.
