Packing a lunch box isn’t just about filling containers — it’s about sending a little love, care, and energy for the day ahead. Whether it’s for kids heading to school or professionals going to the office, a colorful, healthy meal can make all the difference.
That’s why we love this recipe for Rainbow Veggie Wraps. It’s simple, nutritious, and perfectly designed for an eco-friendly lunch box that keeps food fresh, neat, and waste-free.

Ingredients You’ll Need
For 4 wraps (serves 2 adults or 2–3 kids):
- 4 whole wheat tortillas (or gluten-free if preferred)
- ½ cup hummus (any flavor: classic, roasted red pepper, or garlic)
- 1 medium carrot, grated
- 1 cucumber, thinly sliced
- ½ red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- ½ yellow bell pepper, thinly sliced
- ½ cup purple cabbage, shredded
- ½ cup baby spinach or lettuce
- Optional: feta cheese or avocado slices for extra creaminess
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Prep the Veggies
Wash and thinly slice all vegetables. Keep them colorful — the more variety, the better.
Step 2: Spread the Base
Lay a tortilla flat and spread a generous layer of hummus. This not only adds flavor but also keeps veggies in place.
Step 3: Add the Rainbow Layers
Place veggies in rows by color: carrot (orange), cucumber (green), bell peppers (red/yellow), cabbage (purple), spinach (dark green). Add cheese or avocado if desired.
Step 4: Roll & Slice
Roll the tortilla tightly and slice into halves or bite-sized pinwheels for kids.
Step 5: Pack Smart
Arrange in your Ecozoi 4-compartment stainless steel lunch box:
- Wraps in one section
- Fresh fruit (like grapes or apple slices) in another
- Nuts or trail mix in the third
- A small sweet treat in the last compartment
