Lunch Boxes: Tips for Stress-Free Mornings
Hi mamas,
I think all of us moms can agree on one thing, the morning hustle is the worst part of the day! (If
you’re a mom who enjoys the morning hustle, you’ve got some explaining to do). Preparing
breakfast, lunch boxes and school bags, then getting whining kids out of bed and getting them
dressed, fed, and out the door on time is anxiety inducing. If this is you, and you’re sick of the
morning lunch box scramble, I've got a game-changing hack for you: prepare the lunch boxes
the night before! Trust me, it'll make for a smoother, less stressful morning routine.
Every night after the kids go to bed, I prepare their lunch boxes, water bottles and anything else
that needs to go in their school bag the next morning. Here's my go-to lunch box formula: I stick
to the same layout every day to keep things simple. I include 2 fruits, 2 veggies, a dip for theveggies (hummus, labneh mixed with zaatar, guacamole…etc.), a Munchikinz snack, and one
variable item.
This variable item can be anything the kids love like raisins, popcorn, a healthy cereal or healthy
crackers. Some unusual snacks that my kids absolutely love: boiled quail eggs, pickled
cucumbers, mini air-fried kibbeh, and dried apricots and figs. These unique additions add variety
and excitement to their lunch boxes without adding extra stress for me.
But let's dive deeper into the art of stress-free lunch box prep. The key is to keep it simple and
efficient. Instead of trying to make each lunch box look like a work of art, focus on providing
wholesome and nutritious options that your kids will love. And remember, it's okay to repeat the
same lunch box combinations throughout the week. Consistency is key, and your kids will
appreciate knowing what to expect.
Now, let's talk about the real game-changer: Munchikinz snacks. Having a stash of Munchikinz
in your freezer means no more last-minute baking or running to the store for snacks. With a
variety of delicious and nutritious options to choose from, Munchikinz takes the guesswork out
of snack time and ensures that your kids always have something tasty to enjoy.
So, Munchikinz Mamas, are you ready to say goodbye to morning lunch box chaos? Prep those
lunch boxes the night before, keep it simple, and let Munchikinz take care of the rest. Your
morning self will thank you!
With love & deliciousness,
Hala
