If only packing cute kids lunches were as easy as it looks on Instagram, right?! Well, I might not be making fruit fish or sandwich people (this mama does not have time for that!) but I do know how to put together a delicious + nutritious school lunch, and that’s what I want to share with you today- 8 easy kids lunch ideas!

Click here to check out my simple method for stress-free school lunches and here to check out all of my favorite school lunch tools.

Box #1:

Chicken Salad (I used my classic picnic chicken salad, here) in lettuce cups + tomatoes + apples + peanut butter + root veggie chips

Box #2: Cream cheese, ham + mustard roll-ups, carrots + celery with hummus, apple slices, animal crackers and a Stretch Island fruit leather.

Box #3: Taco Meatloaf Muffins (such a great protein and veggie packed lunchbox option!) with guacamole, berries, snap peas + veggie chips

Box #4: Broccoli cheddar egg cups (more muffin cup meals- we use silicone and they work GREAT, zero mess!) + tomatoes + pretzerls + apricots + a MADEGOOD bar.

Box #5: Black bean, corn and quinoa salad + celery + cheese + drinkable yogurt + cantaloupe
