As a busy working mom, I love any opportunity to snag just five minutes back into my day to focus on the more important moments with my family. Pearls Olives To Go gives me those five minutes! The perfectly portioned grab-and-go containers are so easy to add to my boys’ lunches and they LOVE them! The peel-off lids are easy to open for little hands and there’s no messy liquid! Just toss a container into a lunch box and you are good to go!

Lunch #1 features a healthy twist on a peanut butter sandwich. Take a whole wheat wrap, spread some peanut butter or almond butter, add banana slices and a drizzle of honey! Roll it up and slice into bite-sized pieces. We threw in some cheese cubes, fruit, and veggies, and finished it off with some yummy black olives in our trusty lunch box.

We filled this lunch box to the brim with chicken salad, crackers and cheese, avocado slices, hummus and cucumbers, pomegranate seeds, and a pack of kalamata olives. This lunch is full of protein and the olives give it a Mediterranean flair!

Breakfast for lunch, anyone? This delicious combination features a whole wheat bagel with cream cheese and jelly, plus some veggies and ranch, cheese cubes, orange slices, and kalamata olives.

Who needs grilled cheese and soup when you can have grilled cheese and olives? This salty combo is paired with some celery and cherry tomatoes, and some sweet peach slices. All packed into the best (and easiest) lunch boxes around.

We are thrilled to add Pearls Olives To Go to our lunchbox packing routine. They make my job a little easier and everyone’s day a little brighter.
