in Planetbox, Product Review

I am SO EXCITED to tell you guys about the latest addition to the Planetbox collection called the Shuttle. This box is perfect for those with smaller appetites, or those wanting an on the go snack.

Planetbox Shuttle

Planetbox Shuttle

It’s smaller in comparison to the Rover and Launch, but still roomy enough to offer packers the ability to have variety.

Shuttle vs Rover

Here it is alongside the Rover.

Shuttle vs Launch

Here it is alongside the  Launch.

A few months ago, I did a review on the Launch, which breaks down the dimensions for comparison.

My daughter has gymnastics practice 4 days a week, for 4 hours. Packing a nice lunch in the Shuttle is perfect for her, because it is not too big and bulky, and fits perfectly in her cubby.

Here are 2 lunches I packed for her using the Shuttle.

Chicken Trottole Pasta in Cream Sauce

Mushroom Pasta in Shuttle

Mushroom & Spinach Calamari Pasta

This box is awesome, and the perfect addition to my Planetbox collection.

Enjoy!!

Mango Lassi

by The ROXX Box on June 19, 2013

in Beverages, Clean Eating

Right now there seems to be an abundance of mangoes in the grocery store. You know, those REALLY BIG ONES, that you have to cut in 1/2 and save the rest for later (at least I do). I tend to get excited whenever I see them on sale, but end up buying WAY TOO MANY, since I am literally the only one eating them in my house.

Hating to waste a good mango, I’ve decided to slice them up and use in drinks/smoothies.

Mango Lassi

I love a good mango lassi, and order them whenever I am at an indian restaurant. I love the tanginess of the yogurt, and the sweet flavor of the ripe mango. It’s truly the perfect combination if you love yogurt and mangoes.

This drink is super easy to make, and healthy for you. WIN-WIN in my book. Make it, and be sure to tell me if you like it :)

Mango Lassi

2 cups ripened diced mangoes (skin removed)..Can also use frozen mangoes
2 tablespoons honey
1 cup vanilla greek yogurt
2/3 cups low fat milk
Sprinkle of freshly ground cardamon

Throw everything into your Nutribullet, and blend until it is a creamy consistency. Once done, serve immediately.

Enjoy!!

Mushroom & Spinach Calamari Pasta

Mushroom & Spinach Pasta

Do you shop at stores like Marshall’s & TJ Maxx?  If so, do you ever venture into their food section?  Whenever I visit these stores, I make a point of checking out what’s in their food section.  Most times, I find a new sauce/seasoning that I am interested in trying.  And since a lot of [...]

Spicy Cilantro Shrimp Pizza

Shrimp pizza 2

What’s your FAVORITE pizza topping?  When I asked this question on my Facebook wall, it seemed like everyone who responded gave a different answer.  My FAVORITE pizza is a thin crust pepperoni and spicy italian sausage.  Whenever I go out for pizza, that is what I order. But today was different.  My kids wanted pizza, [...]

Honey Drizzled Avocado & Mushroom Baguette

Avocado Toast

Cereal…Oatmeal…Bacon & Eggs…Waffles…Pancakes…Smoothies…This seems to be what a lot of people have for breakfast. After awhile, all of that just gets boring. The beauty with food is you always have an opportunity to try something new. I wanted a more sophisticated type of breakfast. One that was packed with flavor, yet healthy enough for me [...]

Chicken Trottole Pasta in Cream Sauce ~ Bento #104

June 15, 2013
Trottole Pasta

I love pasta. It’s one of my weaknesses. I could seriously eat a pasta dish EVERY…SINGLE…DAY!! You can do some much with pasta, and I love all of the different shapes/varieties. Last week I was at my local Kroger’s grocery store, and saw this pasta on sale: I’ve eaten trottole pasta before and loved it, [...]

My kids have been home on summer vacation for officially “9″ days.  I have made a promise to myself, that I would stay committed to feeding my kids nutritious meals while on summer vacation, as well as teach them how to cook.  I told myself that I would not succumb to the pressures of fast [...]

Asian Shrimp Rice Noodle Salad

I can’t believe it’s Sunday already. Seems like this weekend FLEW by. Today I took a semi-private photography class with a local photographer named Michael Zero. It was great working with him, and learning more about my camera. My goal this summer is to step up my food photography, so I’m trying to learn as [...]
