🍱 Comment LINK for my full article on The Best 🍱 Comment LINK for my full article on The Best Lunch Boxes for Kids with links. My boys are 10 and 12 and I’ve been packing their lunches since my oldest was 2. One boy doesn’t mind eating all foods cold (hence the pork buns and hot dogs in the planets boxes) but the other boy mostly only wants warm lunches. Feel free to ask any questions about what’s in the lunches, but I’ll quickly describe what’s in them and which bento we are using. I pack all lunches in a bag with an ice pack if it’s a cold lunch or the thermos bento has a little ice pack under the non-thermos side. 1️⃣ Pork Bao: these are frozen ones from Costco that I microwave then put in the box or in a preheated thermos. Also, orange, cucumbers and tomatoes, shelled edamame, and cookies. @planetbox Launch 2️⃣Crispy panko chicken, also from the freezer via Costco. I cook it in the air fryer in the morning, chop it up and pit it into the preheated thermos with a paper towel on the bottom to soak up any extra condensation. Ketchup, pickles, grapes and cherries. @omielifeinc Omie Up. 3️⃣Leftovers from dinner: grilled shrimp, rice, and mango salsa. Grapes and blueberries, edamame snacks, and Trader Joe’s gummy candy. Planetbox Launch. 4️⃣Ham and pickle sandwich on Dave’s Killer Bread bun, chips, grapes, blueberries, and gummy candy. @yumboxlunch Panino 5️⃣Pork Bao requested again. Grapes and cherries, cucumbers, rice crackers, and cookies. Planetbox Launch. 6️⃣Egg noodles and broccoli (made the night before) seasoned with butter, salt, and garlic powder. Fresh mozzarella balls, cucumber, and cookies. 7️⃣Cut up hot dogs, leftover corn on the cob and roasted potatoes, grapes, blueberries, and gummy candy. Planetbox Rover. 8️⃣Leftover grilled pizza from dinner the night before. Watermelon, pickles, olives, and gummy candy. Yumbox Panino
🍌🍓🥜Send this to a friend you want to make 🍌🍓🥜Send this to a friend you want to make these with!! Recipe below ⬇️ Just 4 ingredients and so much fun to make and eat! These frozen banana pops have the most delicious PB&J flavor combo. You have to try them! 🍌Here’s how: 4 ripe but firm bananas 1 cup thick Greek yogurt (use vanilla or sweeten plain to taste with honey or maple syrup) 2 to 3 strawberries 2 Tbsp peanut butter Cut bananas in half and carefully place popsicle sticks in the cut side. Place on a parchment lined pan or plate and freeze for at least 2 hours. Blend the yogurt and strawberries and pour into a tall glass. Dip the frozen bananas in the strawberry yogurt and place back in the freezer. Do this as quickly as possible so the yogurt doesn’t start to melt. If the coating is thin, you can freeze the bananas for 20 min and then do another coat of yogurt. Drizzle the frozen bananas with peanut butter. If your peanut butter is too thick, heat it in the microwave for 15 seconds. Store the bananas in the freezer in a freezer bag or covered container. They really are so delicious and perfect for kids to help make! #cookingwithkids 🙌 Who’s making them this week?😊💕 . . #banana #frozenbanana #funfood #funfoodforkids #kidsfood #frozentreats #kidsactıvıtıes
