When I was a kid, the only thing I ever wanted to eat for lunch was Lunchables. They were portable, tasty, and all my friends had them too. Nowadays, parents want to pack lunches that are a bit more on the healthy side, but that doesn’t mean we can’t still borrow from that Lunchables concept. Just remake them with healthy and wholesome ingredients.
Find a lunchbox that has compartments, and fill it with the good stuff to make your own homemade, more wholesome Lunchables.
