School Lunch Idea 1
By: Roni | Posted in: School Lunches | 16 Comments
- 2 Hard Boiled Eggs with salt & pepper (note: sometimes the yokes come home, sometimes they don’t)
- Raw sugar snap peas and carrot sticks
- Seedless black grapes
- Whole Grain Goldfish
- Water
What Came Home?
I told you, sometimes the yokes come back. I still try though. There have been a few times he did eat them or at least part of them.
In case you are wondering, his lunch box is from LaptopLunches.com There's no reason you can't make these style lunches in a traditional lunch box, we just fell in love with the reusable containers. So much so I've become an affiliate! Click the banner below to learn more...

I bought a small plastic sewing box from Walmart last year. It was only a couple of dollars. Same concept as the Bento box. My son loves lunch like this.
Thanks for posting these Roni. It helps to have ideas. I wish my son would eat hard boiled eggs!
Roni…it would be interesting to see a picture of his open lunchbox when he got home from school, to see what he ate and what he left. I have been so impressed with Ryan’s good eating habits (thanks to you), and wish my grandchildren ate that well!
Great idea! I can add it just below! I’l try that this afternoon.
Thanks so much for the great school lunch ideas!!!!
so greast seeing ryan eat healthy. Very important for children to start now.

I LOVE this new addition to your site! I don’t even have kids and I think this is great.
Did you buy those lunch containers as a set and if so could you tell me where? And thanks for adding this to your site, I have a 7 yo and new ideas are always needed!
Cool, Roni! I’m really impressed with how Ryan eats! GO Ryan!!!
angela – I added the links to the lunch box info above. Thanks for reminding me. I know I’ll get questions about it.
This is so helpful, I’m looking forward to future installments! How do you keep the lunch cold? Ice pack, fridge at school?
I am curious how that stays cold and what he eats for snacks at school?
The lunch box is a cooler. Check out the link above. As for snacks it’ usually an apple, pretzels, nuts, that sort of thing. It changes based on what we have on hand.
OMG, just when I thought your blog couldn’t get any greater..I find this section! I have a 1st grader as well! Looks like our kids are close in age! I have a 5 month old and a 6 year old! I am for sure addicted to your blog now! So inspiring!! I have been struggling with my sons lunch ideas and now I have YOU to help ke! TY!!
