Fresh & Healthy: Lunch Box Meals
School Lunch Box Meal
The girls have a lot of fun helping put together their lunches for school. Often they will pick out their favorite drink, containers, baggies and other goodies. They enjoy eating homemade applesauce, jello, and more items that we make together. The best part about making the fruits, cookies, and other food from scratch at home is you know exactly what goes into it. You can make it with whole wheat, no sugar as well as adding other healthy ingredients. Each meal the girls get a protein, fruit, vegetable, diary, drink and snack. Everyday is a little different to add more variety to their lunches.
Lunch Box Meal:
- Peanut Butter & Homemade Strawberry Jam Sandwich

- Peach or Vanilla Yogurt

The rainbow sandwich container, candy corn baggie and princess baggie add a little more excitement to the lunch.
Fresh & Healthy: Lunch Box Meals
Lunch box meals for the kids school lunch.
Our girls are starting to get more efficient in packing their lunches. Yes, they are a little more generous with the peanut butter or meat on their sandwiches (but that isn’t necessarily a bad thing). It works best for us if we pre-pack the majority of the items for the girls lunches (and any work lunches) the evening before. After packing the next days lunches we put them into the refrigerator so we can grab them, pop in an ice pack and go the next day.
- Ham & Cheese Sandwich
- Fresh Green Beans
- Pita Chips
- Vanilla or Peach Yogurt
- Strawberry or Lemon Jello
- Homemade Applesauce
- Reduced Sugar Fruit Juice
- Homemade Cookies
Homemade applesauce and fresh green beans are one of the girls favorites to take to school.
