Paula – both the edamame and broccoli were leftover from the night before so yea, they are both cooked. I’ve been trying to make a litle extra the night before just so I can include int he lunch boxes. :)

Do you cook the shelled edamame and broccoli or are they raw? I have not had edamame in ages. What a healthy looking lunch. Gives me some ideas for my adult lunch bag. It is getting too repetitious.

We do bowls of a kind of homemade trail mix with a carb, fruit, and protein. We try to make it a non-sticky or slimy bowl. Favorite ingredients are:

For carbs: baby pretzels, gold fish, oyster crackers, sesame sticks, cheeze-its, cheerios, kix, pieces of granola bars, pieces of cereal bars

For fruit: raisins, Dried blueberries, Dried Cherries, Freeze dried strawberries, Freeze dried blueberries, Dried bananas, Dried Mangos

For protein: nuts, cheese chunks, small ham squares, slices of pepperoni, slices of summer sausage, small chicken chunks, nutbutter cookie balls

my toddler always was a fan of pnut butter and fruit (i used strawberry ..natural not sweetened) mini sandwiches cut into shapes with my cookie cutters.

i think you could cut cheese with cookie cutters.

as for veggies…that was a hard one with my toddler, but honestly, green beans were always eaten!

applesauce. animal crackers. :)
i LOVE your ideas…as i’ve written before i use them for my own work lunches!
