It’s only the second {full} week of school for us and I’m already struggling to think of fun and healthy lunch box ideas.  And truth be told, many days I’d sacrifice either the “fun” and maybe even a “healthy” lunch as long as it’s something Doodle would actually eat.  But if I can pack a lunch that encompasses all three of these things, then I’m really in business.

I have a tendency to pack the same items every single day.  And Doodle isn’t much help unless he’s presented with a list of options.  So, I put one together for both of us.  And maybe you, too?  Just choose one from the main course category, two from the fruits and veggie category, one snack or treat, and a drink.  Easy!

Doodle has been obsessed with these little milk containers from Horizon Organic.  I spotted them the other day at my grocery store, and they come in 2%, vanilla, chocolate, and Doodle’s favorite: strawberry.  He’s been like a machine chugging these down.

If you’re packing perishables, make sure to include an ice pack. I also love to tuck in little notes – you can find some great ones here.  And if you’re still looking for a few other ideas, here are some of our favorites:

Pepperoni Pizza Muffins

Funfetti Granola Bars

Strawberry Cheesecake Fruit Dip
