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. Oh, very timely post! I just started doing bento boxes for my niece! Love the idea of the monthly snack box. can't wait to try the pretzel pops, all the granola flavors, the PB nom noms, all the almonds, the cashew power clusters….looks like we'll be needing a very large box! :) thanks for sharing this company with us!

  2. Oh my! Such wonderful, nutritious looking snacks! I'd love to try the French Vanilla Almond Granola. Thanks for the discount code too!

  3. Have been wanting to try NatureBox Snacks for awhile now. The Dark Chocolate Berry Trail Mix looks amazing!

  4. Oh man, the coffee kettle popcorn sounds like something I could get behind. As a college student who limits groceries to < $100 a month, it's hard to justify spending money on this sort of thing, which is a bummer because I'd love to incorporate healthier snacks into my diet!

  5. Are you kidding me?? These all look amazing. The Sour Cream & Onion Almonds are definitely calling to me right now though. The BBQ Kettle Kernels, Pistachio Power Clusters, Baked Sweet Potato Fries, Honey Crunch Crisps, & Peanut Butter Nom Noms look great too!!!

  6. Had been considering NatureBox…this post got me to actually see what they sell. Thanks, Jenny. As always, you anticipate my needs and wants with the timeliest post!

    I'd try the lemon pucker and peppery pistashios, dried pears and apples and pineapple. I would probably just collect them for travel snacks and emergency stash.

  7. Guacamole bites, praline pumpkin seeds, and cocoa waffle wafers sound delicious!! And any/all the almonds. And granola. It all looks so tasty!!

  8. How is one supposed to choose? But if I really really had to I would have to go with…mandarin garlic peas and those cranberry almond bites!

  9. Dried pineapple is my choice today! Maybe the salted caramel pretzel pops by tomorrow though!

  10. Oh yum! The pb&j granola and the chili lime pistachios look pretty amazing :) oh, and the salted caramel pretzel balls!!!

  11. Mmmmmmmm this looks so yummy! I would love to try any of the granolas and the salted caramel pretzel pops. Fingers crossed!
