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. Apple Pie Oat Clusters.
    Love the Bento Boxes, I've been thinking about taking the plunge and buying one for myself but I could never decide what system to use. This one looks great!

  2. My husband is a big snacker so I think he'd love to get the French Vanilla Almond Granola each month!

  3. it's so hard to say! french toast granola, apple pie oat clusters, and the cocoa waffle wafers all sound amazing. (i'm noticing a trend in my picks…)

  4. I was just looking at naturebox yesterday! I love all the different flavored nuts, sriracha cashews, smoky pumpkin seeds, sweet blueberry almonds. They all sound so good!

  5. I really want to do this with my family–we need a snack cupboard makeover. I bet my boys would love the carrot strawberry chews!

  6. Hey, there. I'm interested in the lunch boxes you are using. How do you keep things cool? I'm thinking about them for my kids' school lunches and they would be in their back packs until lunch. Thanks!!

  7. ohh they all look so delicious! I would go for the BBQ Kettle kernels, my youngest would go for the whole wheat blueberry figgy bars and my oldest would definitely go for the dried fruit! Apples, cranberries they all look good.

  8. This sounds like the perfect solution for my picky three-year-old! She would love the sweet potato fries, yogurt pretzels, and banana bread granola…and I would love the roasted sea salt chickpeas and the salted caramel pretzel pops! Yum! :)

  9. I need to jump on the roasted chickpea wagon! But I'm curious about the bento boxes- if you hold the container upright, does anything spill over into the next box?

  10. All of it! It all looks so good! My kids are in a picky-eating phase but even looking at this with them, they got excited about quite a few of them!

  11. My daughter is going to a new preschool next year that will require me to start packing her lunches every day. I LOVE the idea of sending her with healthy treats – the roasted sea salt chickpeas and pb&j granola would sure be big hits.
