Make-your-own lunchables

[Guest guest]

I bought some of those semi-disposable (I re-use) plastic containers that

are sectioned into 3 or more sections. Then I pack my own items to make

" lunchables " for my children. You can do several days' worth at once. They

are fairly easy and much more economical, and reusing the packaging is

better for the environment. Plus the kids think they are " cool. "

 

Some examples of what I include are: quartered Foney Baloney or other deli

slices, Tofutti slices, low-sodium triscuits or other crackers, grapes,

raisins, soy yogurt, soy pudding, orange slices, canned fruit, hummus, pita

triangles, baby carrots, celery sticks, vegan ranch, cucumber slices,

broccoli florets, tortillas, peanut or other nut butters, nuts, whole-grain

cookies, etc.

Good ideal. I pretty much do the same thing for dd's lunch, except she

still flocks to the Lunchable aisle and begs for them every time. I

guess Yves knew that kids did that, that's why they created it. My

daughter wants brand name things once in awhile.

We have reusable comtainers, but I can't find bologna like in the

lunchables!!! If I could, I'd never buy one again, since she likes it SO

much more than the regular kind! She doesn't eat the cheese or the apple

bar, so it really IS quite a waste, but it's a spcial treat.

My dd couldn't care less about name brands, but she adores the little

circles of bologna instead of quartered slices. Toddlers! LOL!
