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!

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

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!
How do you keep the bananas from browniNg Before lunch?
I’ve tried a little lemon juice on it which does help, but there are more ideas online 🙂
