What have you been putting in your children’s lunches?

I usually try to do something I know they will eat like a croissant, waffle, bagel, muffin, or crackers;

something I hope they will eat but don’t, like celery or cucumber:

And snacks ( apple slices, cookies, granola bars, grapes, berries, etc).

What are some lunches you make?

Inspired by this post: https://vger.to/lemmy.ca/post/53785551

Kiddo is going through the PBJ phase so I make him one every day on whole wheat. Then a rotation of fruit like a banana, apple pieces, blueberries, raspberries, pre-peeled orange/mandarin or strawberries. I sometimes throw in a container of roasted unsalted cashews or pre-shelled pistachios. He also likes carrots with hummus, and cucumber slices with ranch dressing. I will usually put a very small container of either of those in separate with the veggies. If I get around to it sometimes I chop up a block of cheddar to make a bunch of cheddar cubes, and put some of those in with crackers.

That’s always a classic. I always loved pastor Peanut butter and banana, or PB and fluffernutter, or PB and honey

I love PBJ!

I’m surprised by the comments saying peanuts and other tree nuts. Due to allergies, we cannot have anything with nuts in it school.

The place my kiddo goes allows peanut butter and I was SO relieved because it’s literally all he wants to eat these days, haha.
