If you wish that life were compartmentalized and neatly squared away, this lunchbox will give you what you're jonesing for. Laptop Lunches give you all these cool little containers packed in a larger box (like a bento box) so that you can pack four courses for lunch and not have your bag filled to the brim with various plastic containers. Plus, you're doing good work for the planet by not stuffing all your food in disposable plastic bags.

This is a Mediterranean-ish lunch packed with produce and bright, snappy flavors. The sandwich is a white bean purée punched-up with salty olives, a squeeze of lemon, and chopped parsley spread on Bread Alone's organic whole wheat sourdough. That would be delicious enough, right? But pack away some fresh gazpacho, carrots and blueberries too, and you're basically a walking antioxidant. --Sarah McColl

White Bean and Olive Puree with Lemon and Parsley

1 14.5-oz can white beans
1/4 cup slivered olives (I used a mixture of kalamata and picholine)
Juice of half a lemon
1/2 cup chopped parsley

Rinse and drain the beans and then pour into a medium sized bowl. Add the lemon juice and mash the beans with a fork or potato masher. Stir in the olives and chopped parsley, and spread between two slices of whole wheat sourdough bread. Top with baby spinach leaves for some added green. This will make enough for 3 or 4 sandwiches. (Did someone say picnic?)
