- 03
Pack Nuts Separately: Place roasted almonds and walnuts in a small silicone cup, baggie, or top lid compartment to keep them dry and crunchy.

Chill: Seal the fruit cup and refrigerate overnight or until ready to commute.

- ✦Lemon Toss for Apples: A light splash of fresh lemon juice prevents apple browning for up to 3 days in the fridge.

- ✦Avoid Watery Melons: Watermelon and strawberries release excess liquid; firm apples, blueberries, and grapes hold their crisp texture best.
