I am going to fully admit to you that I HATE making lunches. Seriously the summer was such a joy because there was not one lunch to be made. It was GLORIOUS!! However, the time has come where the kiddos are back in school and lunches inevitably need to be made. Thanks to Rubbermaid, a brand that I LOVE, making lunches have become so much easier!
To help myself as well as all the other parents out there, I decided to compile a list of possible lunch ideas that will hopefully make it easier for all of us. I hope you enjoy my list of ideas!
LUNCH IDEAS FOR
KIDS
1. A turkey roll up with avocado and tomato
2. Tuna salad roll up
3. Hummus sandwich
4. Make your own pizza for dinner and serve leftovers for lunch
5. Mozzarella and Tomato Sandwich
6. Peanut Butter and Jelly roll up or Soy Butter and Jelly roll up
7. Shape sandwiches using a cookie or sandwich cutter
8. Chicken salad roll up
9. Egg salad roll up
10. Ham and Cheese Pita Sandwiches
11. Cut up hot or corn dogs on a soft skewer
12. Make a large batch of soup or chili and put in thermos for kids lunches
13. Guacamole Chicken Wraps
14. Hamburger Patty Sandwich
15. Quesadillas
16. Deli Meat roll ups-simply roll up deli meats without bread
17. Grilled cheese and tomato soup in a thermos
For all the above, if you pair with fresh fruit, salad, vegetable sticks, healthy chips, pretzels, yogurt, raisins, celery, rice, or any other side dish, your kids will be set for this school season!
While these are all great ideas, the one problem I always have is how do I fit my kids lunch into their lunch bags. The answer is easy- the Rubbermaid LunchBlox! The Rubbermaid Lunchblox for kids makes it so easy to put their lunch and snacks in containers that stack up on each other, to make putting together their lunches so incredibly easy.
The Rubbermaid Lunchblox has modular containers that snap together to stay organized in kids’ lunch bags. It makes it so easy for your kids to then open their lunches and eat the foods that you prepared. The containers snap to a Blue Ice™ tray to keep foods cool and containers neatly organized. You are able to put in foods such as yogurt because of this tray. They are perfectly portioned for kids’ favorite lunch foods, so packing and carrying a variety of foods is easy!
When Hayley takes her Lunchblox, she loves it because not only is it organized but it is FUN! The super cute colors makes eating for kids much more exciting!
What is your favorite lunch ideas?
I love Rubbermaid products. I could use the lunch blox for my kids’ school lunch.
I love rubbermaid products. we’ve been using their products for years. Love the quality
Rubbermaid has always been one of my tried and true favorite brands! Their new products are certainly cute, and would be perfect for school lunches.
I want some of these for next year. I want to be able to pack him fun lunches that he will actually eat and enjoy.
Rubbermaid makes handy good products. These ones really are great for back to school lunches.
Very cool that these containers snap to a Blue Ice tray to keep foods cool! I was just talking about how the approach to kid’s lunches has started to become an art form. I remember it was just about how to pack and store the food, now it’s all about presenting the food too.
These would be great for my hubby – and giving my adult son some as a gift for his own lunches, also – Rubbermaid is a wonderful product –
I have a lunchblox for my son and he loves it! It is an easy way for us to pack his lunch together.
It looks super great! And, if it is unbreakable, well, that’s a product to have 🙂
