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’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.

dried peaches woot woot
BBQ sunflower kernels, sea salt chickpeas, salted caramel pretzel pops, french toast granola, oh I could go on!
Love any kind of trail mix with nuts in it. Your bento boxes are so cute.
Mmmm! I want a bento lunch box for myself! :) The baked sweet potato fries and whole wheat blueberry figgy bars look delicious!
All of the dried fruit sounds delicious and so does the PB&J Granola! Yum.
sriracha roasted cashews sound amazing!
EVERYTHING looks delicious. I'd especially love to try the Peanut Butter Nom Noms and the Baked Sweet Potato Fries. Oh, and the Cocoa Waffle Wafers. Yummy.
It's ridiculous how good everything on there looks…that's not your grandma's granola! Would love to try the Salted Caramel Pretzel Pops and the Teriyaki Twists…mmm!

OH. MY. —- Salted Caramel Pretzel Pops!!
From the bottom of my heart, thank you for taking the time to post this. I just ordered everything on your list and the snacks. My kids are going to be thrilled! And me, the most popular mom in the world. Again, thanks!
Bluberry Almond Bites sound good and the Blueberry Nom Noms… Isn't that a Ludacris song?! ;)
Hi guys! Thanks for the questions about the Bento boxes! Two (actually three if you count the little sauce tub) of the containers come with an additional lid, so if you have something liquid you can lock it up. But I'm surprised at how well everything stays put. The actual top of the lunchbox sits pretty flush against the inner boxes, so nothing really can move around too much.
Also – about the strawberries and waste, we would obviously never throw away any of the fruit in the name of cute flower cut outs! When the girls make these in the mornings, we cut up the strawberries or whatever into slices and they can make the shape and keep the rest of the slice in their lunch too, or most of the time they are just eating the fruit as they go in the morning. We don't do the shapes every day, but the girls (and their friends, I guess) love it.

CHICKPEAS!! SO GOOD!
Those praline pumpkin seeds look amazing!!
blueberry almond bites!
OMG all those options look tasty and would make my lunch packing task seem SO much more desirable! I'd go w/ the sea salt chickpeas or the sriracha roasted cashews first…mmmm! Fingers crossed, this sounds amazing!!!
Can I say everything? the citrus chipotle chickpeas look yummy!
The chickpeas sound yummy!
Chipotle Chickpeas, please!
Wow, there's a lot more enticing stuff than I expected on their site! I want to try the chickpeas, yogurt pretzels, and salted caramel pretzel pops.
So many good choices. I think my kids would love the carrot/ strawberry or orange/mango fruit chews. I would like the coco almonds.
Blueberry almonds sound so incredibly tasty to me. I might order five bags of them for my box.
Salted Caramel Pretzel Pops!
I've been trying to snack healthier and would LOVE to try NatureBox out! The PB & J granola, blueberry almonds, and raspberry figgy bars all sound delicious!
I need some siracha roasted cashews and salted caramel pretzel pops in my life!
the praline pumpkin seeds– yum!
This is such a great idea! We spend so much on snacks at our house that this makes total sense. You sold me at Salted Caramel Pretzel Pops, but the Carrot Strawberry Fruit Chews also sound amazing! I think my boyfriend would looooove the Sriracha Roasted Cashews too!
It's lunchtime and I want almost all those snacks! PB&J granola, plantain chips, pistachio power clusters…

Can't decide between the peppery pistachios or the granny smith apples. Yum!
Hard to choose,but two that looked REALLY good were the praline pumpkin seeds and the salted caramel pretzel pops.
The Dark Cocoa Almonds sound amazing but of course, so do half the other snacks :-)
The plantains looked great and the praline flavored nuts and seeds. So yummy!
