Top 10 Lunch Box Snacks

August 13, 2013   9 Comments

Summer is coming to a screaming halt for families all over the country. Did you notice the advertisements for school supplies everywhere?

Lunch Box Ideas

My children are exhausting. They are always demanding that the food in their lunchbox keeps changing. Would I love to pack carrot sticks every day? Yes! But, will they eat them every day? No!

So, I tax my brain about what types of healthy foods to include - and most importantly - I involve them in my decisions. If they "buy in" to a healthy snack, they are much more likely to actually eat it.

I am hoping that as my children get bigger - they will pack their own lunches. This would make my life SO much easier and be good training for when they no longer live here.

The list below is meant to augment the obvious stuff for lunch boxes (apples, grapes, bananas, veggie sticks, whole grain crackers, etc.).

Hopefully, this list will inspire you to keep adding variety so your kids don’t start demanding the hamburgers and fries from the school cafeteria.

What do you put in your kid's lunch box?

I just got your email and the first thing I see is my FOURTH GRADE LUNCHBOX!!! Thanks for the memories and the recipes!

Great suggestions!

I'm loving these ideas! I'm always looking for easy and healthy snacks. Great blog! I write about recipes, snacks, and fitness at www.fitfadfan.com Would love to share ideas :)

I really like the little cups of hummus that comes with these little pretzel crackers. I normally give away the crackers and then I eat the hummus with the little mini carrots that you can get at the super market.

Speaking of delicious snacks, I just did an in depth review of Pop chips Sweet Potato! I took a lot of pictures, list pros and cons, and whether or not I would buy these chips again. I sincerely hope this is helpful to you! http://www.americanmomreview.com/2013/08/pop-chips-sweet-po…
