Welcome to the very first installment of the new to the blog lunchbox series!  WHOOP WHOOP!  I am way pumped to be sharing this lunchbox series to you guys!  Hunter officially starts school in 3 day.  3 DAYS.  I can’t even believe it.  He is super excited, and I’m excited for him too, but dang, I will miss that kid!

Hunter

In anticipation of him eating lunch away from home 5 days of the week, we’ve been doing a lot of trial run lunchbox lunches and it has been so much fun!  I LOVE bento boxes.  They’re basically an extension of my love for snack platter lunches.  The compartments allow you to naturally offer a variety of foods.  We purchases 2 new lunchboxes for the school year + we already had a few lunchboxes we used on the regular for meals/snacks when we’re out and about.

Lunchbox choices

I am a big fan of the durability stainless steel lunchboxes offer.  We already had 3 different lunchbots brand lunchboxes (this big one, this medium one and this medium bento one).  I wanted another big one since Hunter eats like an adult basically, but the compartments were what I was on the look for.

LunchBots Bento Cinco

I went with the large LunchBots bento cinco and it’s been great!  It is the perfect size and has the durability I love.  If you’re kiddo is a small/medium eater, the medium LunchBots bento trio is a great way to go.  I use that often for my 2 and 4 year olds that don’t have as big of appetites as my 6 year old.  This deep LunchBots bento trio looks awesome too!

Planetbox Rover

I got a Planetbox rover and this is also a new favorite.  It’s super cute and holds foods really well.  I am pumped to have the two different lunch boxes to rotate through during the week.

What to pack for lunches?

Here is the fun part – filling the lunchboxes!  If your compartments look like mine – 5 different sections, here’s a tip on how to pack.  Fill the 5 sections with these options: a protein, a carbohydrate, a fruit, a veggie and a bonus (nuts, dip, treat).

In this lunchbox here’s my breakdown:

Protein – deviled egg salad (recipe below!)

Carbohydrate – cut up whole grain toast

Fruit – grapes

Veggies – snap peas

Bonus – pistachios (that I shelled since I know lunch is limited on time at school!)

Easy, right?  Feel free to use my formula and make it work for your kid/self too!

Now let’s make some deviled egg salad!  Be sure to try out my trick for perfectly peeled hard boiled eggs.  Peeling hard boiled eggs is a great task for kids to take on too.  Gather your kids and get to making this deviled egg salad together!
