Join the Lunchbox Squad recipe and photo contest
OurNutritionKitchen.com, and Synergy Nutrition.info present “the Lunchbox Squad” Photo and Recipe Contest.
Your Mission, should you choose to accept it:
Desperately seeking agents to help solve the riddle of “what lunchables can I send with my children, spouse, self?” Our community is at a loss for ideas for packable, portable and simple beyond things that can be placed between two slices of bread.
Agents are asked to decode and send just one cereal-grain-free (no corn/wheat/oats etc), dairy-free (pasture butter is OK), soy-free and no added sugar recipe. Send more if you can…
Everyone Wins!! In exchange for sending me your recipe and a photo, you receive a completely FREE, fully designed and beautifully formatted, eBook compilation of all declassified recipes sent to you at the end of this contest. PLUS your karma points will be sky high for sharing health ideas with your community.
Join the Lunchbox Squad team:
- Decode your recipe and send it with a photo and short write-up that best explains why you love it, focusing on the pleasures of eating or feelings of wellness when eating healthy.
- Email your entry with the subject “the Lunchbox Squad” to marie@ournutritionkitchen.com, together with your first name, whether you are a parent, spouse or a child (or health professional—see below)
- No photo? Send it anyway but don’t missions always include surveillance?
Mission Logistics:
- Entries received by 11:59 PM on October 22, 2021 (a Thursday) will be included as long as they meet our healthy eating criteria of being cereal-grain-free (no wheat, oats, corn, rice, rye, barley), dairy-free (pasture butter is OK), soy-free and no added sugar (well real maple syrup and local raw honey is OK).
- Photos: I’d really like them if you have one or can take it. Be stealth with your cell-phone; those images can turn out beautifully. Please don’t resize and I can do touch-ups, etc. if needed.
- FREE ebook will be sent (hopefully) by November 17 once all Squad members are fully debriefed and all the incredible entries designed, formatted, (taste-tested?? 😉 ) etc.
Guidelines:
- Team Lunchbox Squad is open to anyone, agents of all ages are encouraged to send recipes they love to pack for lunch. You agree to let me use your first name as the recipe contributor.
- Health professionals: If you would like me to use your full name and credentials, please let me know.
- Submit as many entries as you feel would be useful to others.
- Each recipe is your own or adapted to use healthful ingredients . If you have a favorite from a published book or website go ahead and send it crediting the book or with a link to the website. I’ll check usage.
- The short essay should be, well, short. Or long if you love to write. Truly, if you have a good story to tell with your recipe I’d love to hear it! You give me the right to edit or use select sections.
- True and high-resolution photos (not blurred, pixilated or extremely edited) are preferred. The photo should be at least 1200 pixels on its shortest edge. If you don’t know how to find this out, just send what you have.
- By sending a recipe you are helping your community. Thank you!! You automatically agree to post it on OurNutritionKitchen.com, Alaska Health Improvement Center and all related Facebook & Google+ pages, and include it in any future compilations online or print.

Panel of Judges:
We’re sorry this is classified information but what I can say is that it’s two adults, one pre-teen and one teen 🙄
Thanks for accepting my belated contribution! Because Nick Sticks are grass-fed meat they may resolve part of school lunches or snacks after school ideas for lots of parents who need healthy solutions the children actually LIKE!
Yes, grass fed meat is so important. What a difference between the healthy fat profiles and other nutrients, lower impact on our planet than CAFO’s… I could go on BUT I won’t because at the end of the day it does have to taste good.
What I thought was most funny was when I recently visited my clinical trial site in Oklahoma. I flew into Dallas/Fort Worth and the bill boards promptly informed me that TX is now the “grass fed beef state” and how “grass fed tastes better–the way mother nature intended.” I love it. But the humor I found was in thinking back to the days when the same region of the world insisted that corn fed or finished somehow had better marbling, tasted better, and more… big reversal of the marketing. One that I am happy to see even if only the marketing (not the grass-fed meat) has changed. 😉
