Packing Healthy Lunches. Made Easy.

Packing lunches is one of those things that you either love or loath.  I happen to love it!!  Of course, I only have to pack one or two lunches a week, so I get off pretty easy.  It might be a more annoying chore if I had to do it more often.  But, for this school year, I pack once for homeschool co-op each week and then a few here and there for field trips.

And I try and keep things healthy and interesting.  Some of my favorite go-tos are just simple to throw together.  Lots of fruits and veggies.  Cheese sticks.  Popcorn.  PB & J, (cut into cute shapes of course) and yogurt pouches or tubes.

And I have an awesome tip for keeping lunches cool.  You might already know this.  But, just in case you don’t….

 Lunch box TIP:  I freeze our yogurt pouches and then in the morning, I throw the frozen pouch in the lunch box.  It keeps everything cool and is thawed out and ready to eat by lunch time!  No need for an extra ice pack!

  We are loving the Chobani Kids® and Chobani Tots® Greek Yogurt.  They contain real fruit and real veggies.   They include only natural and preservative-free ingredients with live and active cultures, which are essential to digestive health.

 And the Chobani pouches have a fun new look!  In partnership with Disney’s Magic of Healthy Living Initiative the Strawberry & Vanilla, Chocolate Dust, Grape and Strawberry pouches now feature Doc McStuffins or Spider-Man.  Plus they are packed with 2 times the protein and 25 percent less sugar compared to the leading kids’ yogurt.

I love providing a protein packed punch to our lunch boxes and snacks.  It sticks with them longer and I get to hear “I’m hungry” a lot less.

 They also have Chobani Tots® Greek Yogurt pouches which are designed for babies beginning at six months and are made with whole milk Greek Yogurt Tots pouches provide 12mg of omega-3 DHA.
