I’ve been trying hard this year to refocus our family on health and wellness. One thing we recently did that I’m so excited about is jumping on the bento box bandwagon. My kids have never been happier about making and eating their lunches!

We bought these laptop lunchbox cases on Amazon, along with a few other little things to help make the lunches more fun and easier to pack, like this set of reusable cupcake liners and these adorable mini-forks (Evie’s obsessed with the panda one). I also have these tiny shape cutters that are fun for special days or when the girls want to spend extra time making their lunch.

I love how easy it is to add variety to a lunch with these little boxes. The girls love to add a small handful of this and that, and I love that they’re now getting a better mix of fruits, veggies, grains and proteins. And they usually eat all of the small portions, which is more than I can say for our old lunch-packing methods!

We’ve had our NatureBox subscription for a few months now and I love using these delicious snacks in our bento box lunches.

It’s like Christmas when the NatureBox package comes each month. There’s not been one snack yet that my kids won’t devour! The carrot strawberry chews, the fancy dried figs and the PB&J granola go FAST at our house!

I am trying to eat less gluten, so I love that you can select snack choices based on dietary needs on the NatureBox site. They have a really great selection of healthy (and seriously delicious) choices. No artificial colors, flavors or sweeteners ever with these snacks. Evie loves the figs and the blueberry almonds in her lunch as much as I do. (PS how adorable is the little sauce tub? We usually end up using it for hummus or a nut butter).

My Claire is ALL about the dried pineapple and apples and loves all the sunflower seed and roasted chickpea options.

  1. ANY of the pretzel bits or the Baked Sweet Potato fries for the win!! I work above a 7 Eleven so eating healthy is quite a challenge with the convenience store downstairs….a Nature Box subscription could be my cure!

  2. Dark chocolate berry trail mix.
    Thanks for the giveaway and sharing about the bento lunchboxes. I am curious though, does the food stay put in the containers after the bus ride, being put in a cubby, dropped, etc.

  3. Been meaning to try Nature Box for over a year. And I've been thinking about the bento boxes. So I would say this post was practically just for me!

  4. I've completely cut out added sugar so I love the idea that I could get snacks without any.

    Peppery Pistachios sound amazing!

  6. I've been meaning to check out nature box! The pb&j granola sounds intriguing, as do the praline pumkin seeds. Now I'm off to check out their dairy free options.

  7. Honestly, they all look delicious! But these caught my eye…sea salt chickpeas, seaweed rice pops, pistachio power clusters and aztec chia seed trail mix.

  8. what a great system – filters make it super easy. love the sound of dried peaches and chipotle maple almonds and citrus chipotle chickpeas! thanks so much.

  9. It all looks amazing, but the Salted Caramel Pretzel Pops and Lemon Meringue Waffles look especially interesting!

  10. Sweet and Salty – the salted caramel pretzel pops sound awesome – would love the dried fruit for my almost two year old! cute post Jenny!

  12. I am forever obsessed with Roasted Chickpeas! It would be wonderful to not have to go through the (minimal) effort of making them myself!

  13. I will narrow the delicious option down to 3 : cranberyy almond bites, antioxidant boost, and the whole wheat rasperry figy bars. Thanks for the change to win.
