Here is a glimpse of my normal lunch packing each day. Five out of the six of us pack about twice a week. Three of us pack every day {me, hubby and 3-year-old}. My teenager thinks it’s uncool now :)  How do I manage six lunch boxes leaving at 6:30 in the morning? Here are my best tips:

  1. Pack the night before.
  2. Pack right after dinner while the leftovers are ready to go {I always plan 2 extra servings for lunch the next day}.
  3. I pack adult leftovers in glass bowls for easier reheating.
  4. I pack kid’s lunches in these handy divided containers and section off with silicone cups.

6. Pack fun lunches for kids, they are more likely to indulge.

7. Pack snacky, like these energy bites,cheese sticks, granola bars or cookies. {Baked cookies and bars can go from freezer to lunch box}.

8. Pack the colors of the rainbow and you are sure to include lots of vitamins and minerals.

9. Pack a frozen item, such as a frozen smoothie or juice box to thaw by lunch {it doubles as a freezer pack}.

10. Make extra convenience items, such as DIY mini-pizza, pizza bagel bites or pizza mini-muffins for lunch boxes.
