We use bento-style lunchboxes, so our veggies are usually in a large container and then they take out what they need and add it to their lunchbox. Hope that answers your question!

Yes! Have a separate container of food that are set aside for snacks. As long as there is other food available, they are good about saving our lunch bins for lunches. 🙂

Do you keep non-lunch family snacks elsewhere?

Clear the space of other kitchen items or foods that aren’t intended for lunches. Designate one space for refrigerated items and one for pantry items.

Hi Steph! If there’s a fruit, veggie, grain, and protein in our kids’ lunches, we’re happy! Nut butter is a great grain/protein combo like you mentioned– others could be crackers and cheese, tuna sandwich, hummus and pita, or a muffin and cheese stick.

I usually do pj&j which is perfectly fine for one of my kids but not the other. What else is there?
