Great ideas! Making lunches is my least favourite chore. I'd rather clean a toilet then make a lunch anyday.

[@K98vd04]

hahaha..thats what I say, I will do all the chores in the house, wash clothes, scrub toilets but I hate preparing food.

[@JJ-fz9bc]

I'm the opposite I love love love cooking and baking

[@angelacicero62]

Keira Kuznar um no. Watch the video again?

[@anniehuynh4707]

Angela Cicero no it did say warm day

[@jasminebaskin4226]

Do they really eat that?! If they do they are NOT picky eaters!!! ;)

[@jellykat4757]

She used to be more picky but Meg helped her so not she is not.

[@katielarsen2630]

I probably would have eaten most of that, I was a weird kid and didn't like sandwiches either. Sorry mom:(

[@maxinespencer7304]

@Katie Larsen, SAME!!!!

[@ec2280]

Lucky kids!! PB and J is all I had when is was little😂

[@oliviaskye8798]

+lemon honey same

[@snowy.ethereal]

Cold pasta is also an alternative that I loved having in my lunch box as a kid. My mum mixed it with tuna or tomato or something. I really liked it.

[@WhatsUpMOMS]

+Alisha Bobbett That sounds good.

[@ryan6ytddcnablagatgbj915]

🐧🐰 ryanna

[@hannahscott6604]

LlamaLeesha omg yes!!! Cold pasta salad

[@clarapanelli3343]

Did meg mean cold day when she said warm day for the soup?

[@hilarywitt]

Troyes Bae I was wondering that 2

[@angelacicero62]

plastic spider no yall. She said to take soup or chili on a warm day because the hot weather will keep it warm ...

[@jessicafidler6337]

Angela Cicero yea but the thermos can do that

[@khali61063]

[@boutstacynsam]

I was wondering the same... found them. they are called Lunchbots.

[@fatimahrosli3961]

+S Martinez *lunchbox

[@boutstacynsam]

did more research and found a 3 set container at The Container Store for only $25.. WAY better deal after seeing the prices at lunchbots.

[@fatimahrosli3961]

+S Martinez *lunchbox

[@boutstacynsam]

+AzZaRa RosLi website I saw said lunchbots... www.lunchbots.com/

[@cassidygard]

Hah this isn't even just for kids! Any adult would eat this :)

[@JaneDoe-ob9dr]

ikr?that's what I was saying and it's a HUGE lunch too!

[@elise7518]

No offense to meg or anyone, but whose kid actually eats whole wheat sunflower gluten free granola chips? And other veggies? It's hard to get kids to eat food like that, any tips? But still I'm a kid and eat pb and j for lunch chips and something to drink.

[@matthewcamastro8083]

+Oreo_Bubblez im a kid and i would love to eat all those food because they are really expensive where i live and i love stuff like berries,sunflower butter, salami and fresh coconut

[@kara__kats4865]

I'm guessing that she doesn't buy unhealthy food for her kids, so she doesn't give them the option of eating junk food.

[@MasterofFate99]

I am a big fan

[@citysimmer3052]

Great ideas Meg! Can we get the recipe for the sunflower buttercup someday?

[@softcloudthekitty7737]

Meg, can u please make more vegetarian meals. 😊

[@orangepeel_er]

A lot of these could easily be made vegetarian 😊

[@cassie1483]

My favourite food for lunch is cereal put milk in a thermos and cereal in a separate container and when it's lunch time pour the milk into your container so simple and easy!!!

[@samarahm2229]

cassy that's such a damn good idea! Shame I finished school for the year last week..... oh well there's next year😂

[@chloewhite5136]

Can you do one for a vegetarian please I am one and my lunch is really boring

[@Sabrina-zv9df]

You can see all the work you put into your videos, that's why I love this channel!! I'm due in 3 weeks and your channel has helped me. Thanks😊

[@meaghanparent8740]

Do your kids actually eat a plain half an avocado?

[@elizabethsanchez6]

+Meaghan Parent Mine do, but never at lunch. I don't think they would eat it in front of their friends.

[@isabelletano1208]

I would if I were them xD

[@NaturallySweetVegan84]

+Meaghan Parent My 3 year old loves avocado and always eats it plain! :)

[@laurajamieson9302]

+Meaghan Parent you bet!

[@snakes_rule_the_world4667]

I am a kid and I LOVE these vids! it kinda helps me make my sisters lunches and it will help me when I have kids in the future!!!

[@TimandMissyYandow]

These are great ideas :) My kids aren't old enough for school yet, but I find it hard to come up with new lunches to get them to eat! Everyday is the same old pb&j! LOL

[@RajuPatel-dv1fe]

can you make 5 lunches that are good for Vegetarians?

[@honeybunny8118]

I'm 11 why am I watching this. I love WUM but I'm a kid...

They're vids are great for baby sitters

[@DanceAgain19]

As a college student, this also gave me great ideas for my lunches! Thanks!

[@JoshuaCoulson]

Same i'm a student too and I literally love this channel for little hacks and tips

[@Accountnolongerused]

Who else isn't a mom/mum but loves this channel?

[@StandingStill]

Love these ideas, especially the burrito. My little ones favorites are pastina with baby carrots and plum tomatoes, Pita bread with hummus mixed veggies and an apple, and chia seed pudding with celery and a banana. Can't wait to see more great videos!

[@kiarona.]

I'm 18 and I've been at school since I was 4, and I have had sandwiches nearly every single day for lunch from kindy to year 12 this year. My friends all winner how I don't get sick of them! Honestly it depends on the filling, and if the bread is fresh. If it's a bit stale and we've only got something like plain tuna, then I don't enjoy them so much. If it's fresh bread with cheese, tomato, lettuce, aioli and chicken, I love it!!!

[@hollieturner7143]

melt / heat up honey. cut up strawberries. mix and then eat. it's really nice trust me.

[@lisawilson9191]

I can't wait to see Tess' labour and delivery video !!

[@aisyah8738]

Happy spring no break everyone!

[@tbcldwell]

well, coming from a dad I have a 7yr old boy and 5yr old twins (boy&girl)...I like to do quesadidilas with cheese and chicken, but you can go with so many variations from refried beans, spinach, cheese, and peanut butter with jelly or bananas. I cut it with a pizza cutter and pack in foil (if trying to keep warm).

[@KatiesLifeAdventure]

I love the ideas, and the boxes, may I ask where did you find those awesome containers?

[@rapsquirrel6268]

My five year old son loves when I get creative with his lunch. I sometimes make little riceballs and some chicken with veggies and I think Avery would like that as much as Liam (my son) does!

[@yvetteyasui]

I use alot of "quick cheats" for school lunches, aka frozen items and appies from trader joe's: Bean & Cheese Burrito, home made or frozen; Black Bean Taquitos; Dumpling lunch=Lemongrass chicken spring rolls + Shrimp Gyoza + Pork Shumai; Mini Quiche Frozen Pizza Frozen meatballs or chicken meatballs with pasta and sauce; (Not frozen, but super fast/easy) Spiral pasta with pesto, chicken and broccoli (Not frozen, but super fast/easy) "Lunchables" Using TJ's mini whole wheat pita as pizza crust, a small container of marinara, a bit of grated cheese and mini pepperonis, he puts it together himself and loves it! I serve all the lunches with fresh veggies and fruits on the side. Leftovers are another source of good lunches: Black bean chili, Enchiladas, Ratatouille Curry and rice, Veggie and bean soup

[@JaneDoe-ui3hp]

I was worried because the video had been taken down but now it's back up! Great video Meg!

[@zooli2068]

One nice lunch is cooked hot dog chopped up mixed with mini meatballs. Serve with ketchup. Mini meatballs can be found in IKEA

[@everyonehasincommon1216]

More of these school lunch ideas videos please!!! I need them! and thnks for this one, loved it!

[@fiona6318]

I love waking up every time in watching these videos!

[@0426alexandra]

Toddler meal ideas please!!!! I have a very picky eater she's 20 months old.

[@susanharris3099]

What I do for my lunch (I'm 11) is I put some pepperoni and mozzarella cheese in my lunch along with an apple and pretzels

[@Thukfudo]

Pancakes are also great. You can make them plain and then pack what ever your kids like on it separate.

[@mollycookeellarose10342]

Hey I know this is really late but I just want to say that I love your videos and you post content that everyone not just moms can enjoy. I want to watch every video you upload which is quite uncommon in the You Tube community. So thank you for the entertainment and information. Keep doing what you are doing. Thanks 😊😊 Your kids are all adorable btw x

[@aussiemumma291]

Will try the bean and cheese wrap for my daughter next week for sure

[@livvjanee]

I used to eat toasted waffles or a chicken wrap as an alternative for sandwiches as I'm allergic to butter and dairy, and I also have cystic fibrosis, so a high fat diet is needed

[@Xx-hj7jq]

Just me the noticed that the thumbnail has to "uu" in the lunch xx

[@user-ti2ph6qb1y]

Anyone else not have any kids, but watch these videos anyways? 😊😂 I just enjoy watching them.

[@madeleinetally7148]

Can you please do weekly lunch videos of what your kids eat and what you packed for them?

[@djskyefilms7427]

Is this for school? HA! It's Spring break for me!

[@romelyntabigne9488]

Sun butter is really good,especially with celery

[@vicentiak5987]

maybe do some QUICK alternatives like put together in the morning, other wise do these last over night?

[@prosandkhans4998]

My daughter loves hummus and veggies with pita, this is good because she doesn't have a fridge at school.

[@TheBubblypumpkin]

LOL

[@samanthacarr1996]

do you have a video on how to make a sunflower butter pop? (sorry I probably didn't hear that right)

[@natalieeeez]

we do lentil noodles and tomato sauce cooked with shredded zucchini.

[@libbyhenderson970]

Mmm we don't do sandwiches in our house so this really helped me to come up with our lunch box "treats"

[@cagr9334]

I make my kid pita bread with store bought hummus and sometimes I will stick a piece of deli turkey too. Good alternative to sandwiches. I make her bean burritos a lot too. I have not tried the cheese yet. I will. Thanks!

[@AlysonWon]

I like to do a little homemade sushi roll, just some rice and dried seaweed on the side and it makes for a great lunchtime activity and treat!

[@Ninalska]

I'm not a mum or old enough to be a mum but I love this channel

[@molllyhepburn]

me too!

[@joannadawn500]

+Nina me too in only 9

[@TheJoyfulMom]

Love these healthy ideas! Thanks!

[@Prolui]

I feel like the yogurt parfait wasn't enough food for a lunch. Unless it's a preschooler only doing a half day?

[@maianhh7689]

Prolui her kids are pretty young so it might be enough for them. She might have not put a lot in there because this was a video and she was just showing us a quick example

[@danielauriartelopez874]

You should do a 5 fast and easy breakfast ideas video! I loved this video!❤️❤️❤️

[@barborahornychova8610]

[@katherinedeguzman783]

I love those containers! I need them for myself lol

[@hillevialfredsson304]

Love the video, but I'm so great-full that I live in Sweden :) our kids gets a warm lunch and fruit in school. I have a hard time making lunch boxes for me and my husband as it is so throwing in our kid in the mix would be really overwhelming I feel like. Good job to all of you out there that has to make this happen everyday!

[@ChrisSlack]

Thanks! Going to order one of those lunch boxes. Thanks for the link in the description.

[@e.k8033]

Cool ideas! I'll probably try the bean and cheese.

[@CherryO0OBerry]

Please do videos on easy dinners and how to encourage kids to eat vegetables. Thanks 💗

[@melissam1203]

I would love to see more lunch ideas for picky eaters...or meals in general for picky eaters hiding veggies (yes one of my son's is a VERY picky eater)

[@jadelinbever3584]

[@tovagordon2025]

[@DoctorAnne]

Do you keep the burrito warm or is it served cold?

[@ashleyboileau3602]

All of these lunches look great! Heck I want the bean burrito for my lunch!

[@journey3337]

Love the video! Question: Do your kids actually eat the veggies you put inside their lunchbox, like the peppers, avocado, and celery?

[@haileegrace2231]

Please do something for lunches that don't have to be kept warm. Also please do some with no dairy products!

[@truddyyoakum4720]

How do u keep the bean and cheese burrito warm???

[@WhatsUpMOMS]

+Truddy Yoakum Sometimes I will wrap it in aluminum foil, but it's honestly only room temp by the time she eats it. She loves it though!

[@truddyyoakum4720]

+WhatsUpMoms Oh OK thanks!!!!
