Now that we’re a few weeks into a new school year–how about some more lunch box ideas? You know the drill: fruit/veggie + crunchy +protein. Don’t forget to add a sweet treat! 

Here are few ideas:

• Edamame/raspberries/pretzels/laughing cow cheese + Hershey’s kiss
• Peanut butter crackers/apple slices/veggie straws/cheese stick + cookie
• Deli meat roll up/snap peas/pretzel sticks/hummus + chocolate covered raisins
• Yogurt /granola/berries/cashews + mini chocolate bar
• Quesadilla /salsa/ cherry tomatoes/ tortilla chips/cutie oranges + fruit roll up
• Chicken strips/ small green salad/ pita chips/ hummus + mini muffin
• PB & J on a bagel/ carrot sticks/babybel cheese + brownie bite

I read this great  New York Times article which reviews a bunch of lunch boxes, including the classic LL Bean lunch boxes that I used to buy for my kids. As a matter of fact,  I’m still using the one that my son picked out to attend preschool back in 2002 (see nostalgic photo below 🙂 )

Also, I’ve had several parents tell me that this OmieBox has been amazing!  Here’s another option.  It’s stainless steel and comes with two covered dipping cups.  For a more economical Bento-style lunch box check out this one.  

Reach out for a Parent Coaching Call if you’d like more support on your quest to feed your family with less fuss.

Snack Idea: Apple slices & cheese sticks (keeping it simple!)
