I'm all about finding resources for parents- we need all the help we can get sometimes! Yesterday, I told you about my favorite store-bought snacks for lunches or after school and today I'm coming at you a recent find online: Rock The Lunchbox! There are hundreds of pictures of home-made kid-approved lunches for inspiration. The four main companies that are behind Rock The Lunchbox just happen to be regular parts of our lunches too :) There are coupons on the site for their products. Go check it out for some ideas, you can even check "gluten-free" and other specific diets!
Wild Friend's and Peeled Snacks peas please for some protein |
TIP: Cut the apple with a peering knife, but not all the way down- stopping a half inch from completing the cut and then wrap a rubber band around the apple. This way the apple stays whole and doesn't get brown during school!
Finally, I try to always make sure there is a raw crunchy veggie in the mix. For some reason, when you cut it up into smaller parts, kids seem to like eating their veggies more ;) My kids even will do raw okra. (I know- I couldn't believe it myself! They tried it accidentally one day and then started requesting it?! So try it with your kids- you never know!) Top off the lunchbox with a healthy juice-sweetened drink like Honest Kid's and Annie's Organic gummy bunnies (vegan too!) for a treat.
Now go check out Rock The Lunchbox for more inspiring kid-friendly lunch ideas!
