Fresh & Healthy: Lunch Box Meals

Getting the school lunches ready

The biggest challenge for me when making and prepping the school lunches is finding a good variety of items for the girls to take to school.  Thankfully they eat almost everything (they don’t like liver) so that makes it easier for me.  Although I do have one that if she gets the same item in the lunch several days in a row she’ll stop eating it, guess she needs a little food variety to keep her excited!

Lunch Box Meal:

  • Beef & Bean Burrito
  • Fresh Banana
  • Fresh Broccoli
  • Batman Fruit Snacks
  • Red & Blue Tortilla Chips
  • Strawberry  & Lemon Circle Crisps
  • Chex Mix or Animal Crackers
  • Jelly Beans
  • Fruit Punch Juice

Fresh banana, broccoli, burrito and more!

The girls really do eat most of the items in their lunch bags!  I have found that the food I pack them hold them longer than when they eat lunches at school.  Part of the reason may be because students that bring lunches get a few extra minutes to eat, plus they can eat any of the leftovers for a snack on the way to our after school activities.
