We’re slowly getting back into our regular routine now that the holidays are over. That means the kids are back to school and I’m back on lunch box duty. I usually prepare them the night before to make the morning a little less chaotic. The kids love it too because they’re able to help out. We put these four lunch boxes together in a matter of minutes. They’re packed full of fresh, vibrant food that they’ll actually eat.

One of their favorite ways to eat vegetables for lunch is dipping them in Marzetti® Ranch Dip Snack Packs. You can find them in the refrigerator aisle right next to the produce. They fit perfectly in all of our tupperware containers. And since they’re a generous amount, the kids can dip other items in them, like pizza, pita chips, pretzel thins, and sandwiches.
If you’re on the hunt for more lunch ideas, give these a try! You can easily customize them if you have picky eaters. Fill them with your kid’s favorite veggies. They can help grab items from the fridge, wash them and cut them (if they’re old enough). You can have them arrange them in the lunch boxes and store them in the fridge for the morning. When they’re not looking you can sneak a cute little note in there for them. Whether it’s a handwritten one or a cute little joke (SCROLL TO THE BOTTOM FOR SOME FREE PRINTABLE JOKES), I guarantee it will make their day!

When we have picnic lunches (in the car, park, vacation, special outings) we enjoy using Marzetti dip!
What do you have wrapped around the peanut butter and banana?
It is a tortilla cut into strips 🙂
i just love picking one of these and dipping in with anything as a snack on the whim… whatever is around!
Me too! They are all so good!
Outstanding photos ! ! The colors, the setup, the food choices, bravo ! ! Kristyn you deserve an award.
Thank you..you are too nice 🙂
I use the blue cheese to dip my pizza. These lunches are inspiring me to be a little more creative (and healthy) with my own. I have not seen the little dip packs in my area : (
Who says they have to just be for kids?? They are perfect for us, too 🙂
We love it as a dip for veggies! I know it’s boring but we love it 🙂
Not at all..same with us 🙂
What kind of Tupperware do you use for your kids lunches?
I have all different kinds. It just depends on what they want in their lunch that day. I don’t have a specific kind.
I haven’t ever tried them, but I’m always needing ideas for lunch that isn’t a sandwich so I am going to buy some of these for my boys. Thank you!
Hope they like them!! Thank you!
My fave is the Marzetti Ranch and baby carrots. Yum!

I love dipping my cauliflower in the Marzetti’s ranch dip!! I love fresh cauliflower for a snack or side dish. I love the lunchbox ideas!!
Thank you so much! It’s a great snack!
How do you keep the apples from turning brown?
Good question? It’s hard! My kids will eat it whole, but I will slice it & keep it together. Still turn a little brown, though.
There very good ideas to do and very healthy for the kids to enjoy eating healthy snacks.

Iam always looking for Healthier snakes and lunch ideas. Thank you
You are so welcome!! So, am I!
I’m wondering as a Canadian mom! We’re not allowed peanut products or buts of any kind at school? And no but butter substitute? So my ideas run thin! Could you give me some inspiration?
Thanks
Meghan
You could do lots of fruits & veggies, ham & cheese sandwiches/rolls, cheese sticks. Hopefully, those help. It can get tricky, trying to come up with different things, but I just rotate different things.
My kids like honey and cream cheese or strawberry cream cheese in their banana roll ups. We also use Flatout bread and granola in with the bananas.
Perfect!! Thanks for sharing!
Just curious how do you keep the bananas and apples from turning?
I like to keep the apples together, once sliced…keeping it whole looking. Bananas will turn brown, but if you add a little lemon or lime juice on them, that helps 🙂
Yummy!! I’LL try out with recipes found in my country.
Thank you!! Good luck!
