Kids School Lunch Ideas// 5 Easy & Simple Meals

[@LissaxKristine]

If you cut the bread and meat separately before putting spreads on it, scrap meat and cheese can be saved for omelettes and bread can be frozen and when you have enough: french toast casserole. That'll help limit waste for cut-out sandwiches

[@OurCrowsNest5]

Ooh such great ideas! 😍thanks so much Lissa and thank you for watching! 💓

[@kelliazzam1594]

Mmmmmmmm... Bread pudding for breakfast! Lol

[@gatsfritz8968]

[@mommyscribbles]

Love this idea!!

[@Superpsychandie]

This is exactly what I do!

[@ceegee5724]

Thank you for showing actual quick and easy lunch idea's . My daughter is starting school soon and every video I watch on packable school lunches include how to waste your time cutting cucumber slices into stars and cutting and reshaping a sandwich so many times your kids ends up with 3 bites of sandwhich "BuT look HoW cute" lol

[@OurCrowsNest5]

Haha I absolutely do not have time for that 😂 The most I do to make sandwiches look cute is using a Mickey Mouse shaped cookie cutter i've had for years! But i'm so glad this video was helpful to you, I do have a Part 2 on my channel if you're interested in other ideas! Thank you so much for watching! 💓

[@oliviarucker5013]

I know right!

[@JustBethTrying]

As a teacher I know that kids don’t want people “looking at” and “talking about” their lunch even if the looks and comments are admiring. They want food in containers they can manage, food that is familiar and food that they can eat quickly and with their fingers if they forget a fork. These lunches are great for that!

[@OurCrowsNest5]

@@JustBethTrying Totally agree Beth! And you're right, the foods they get packed need to be eaten quickly! Had no idea how little time they actually got for lunch up until a couple years ago when we asked the school secretary.

[@lindaallen6519]

The cupcake holders are a good idea thanks.

[@OurCrowsNest5]

[@BlessedMomof7]

This remains one of my favorite lunch box videos because it is realistic 😁 there is some junk and some healthy. It's hard to be a balanced mom (not too healthy on food choices and not too relaxed on food choices)!

[@OurCrowsNest5]

Oh I so appreciate this comment! You're right, it's totally all about balance. Definitely want to be mindful of what they're eating, without being overly strict too! Thank you so much! 💖

[@sparkplugpeggy4910]

I'm 51 and only just started taking my own lunch. the bento style boxes are fun and great idea using the silicone muffin cups to keep certain things from touching other things when needed. sorry McDonald's....but you can't offer the choices and variety of homemade lunches

[@OurCrowsNest5]

Absolutely love that I found your channel and this video with real life and realistic examples of lunches!! If I might make one suggestion it's that the music in between your voice is a little loud and I had to keep turning the volume up and down. Subscribed can't wait to check out the rest of your content! Do you have any specifics for lunch prep for the week ahead as opposed to making it the night before?

[@OurCrowsNest5]

You are the sweetest, thank you so much for this and your feedback about the music! Ooh great question, the only thing that would be helpful that I could think of is cutting up your veggies ahead of time like carrots, cukes, broccoli, etc. Grapes and berries can always be washed ahead of time so it's easier to reach for and throw into the lunchbox! I generally pre-wash my strawberries and blueberries in a vinegar solution to wash them and dry them really good and place them in mason jars. They keep for a very long time! Thank you so much for watching! 💕

Thank you for posting a realistic school lunch. I really was getting discouraged from what I saw out there (too picture perfect)

[@OurCrowsNest5]

Thank you so much for saying that, I appreciate it! And you're so RIGHT! It's incredibly discouraging to see amazing lunches out there that are constructed into animals, shapes, buildings, etc 😅 It's like, "It looks cute, but I don't have 45 minutes to spend doing this, nor do I have the equipment." Not trying to be mean to other folks that do do that for their kids lunchboxes, but would like to offer additional, and like you said, realistic, ways and options to prepare them! 💕

[@meshah34]

Great idea I’m gonna try it for my kids, I wanna buy these lunch containers but I wonder if they’ll fit the lunch bag which it came with backpack

[@OurCrowsNest5]

As long as the lunchbox is larger than 9.4” x 6.1” x 2”it should be good! I bought this lunchbox for my daughter a few weeks ago (comes in all different colors and styles!) and it fit perfectly💖 amzn.to/3QWdYkE

[@arezoojam2708]

Thanks for sharing. However, my kids school does not allow cookies, cakes , juices, chips, gold fishes, … any snack considered unhealthy! So! I do have a hard time packing lunch for them. Also, i find the quantity large . Do they come home with left overs? Thanks again

[@OurCrowsNest5]

How about 'sweets' like granola bars or graham crackers? Are crackers like wheat thins, triscuits and club crackers allowed? I imagine you have such a tough time i'm so sorry! The only thing I don't send to school with my kids are juices, as I never buy them only for special occasions. As far as portions go, the sections are actually considered a portion size, and/or slighly under a portion size! The 'chip' area actually doesn't even fit a single size portion of chips, so it totally helps with portion control which I so appreciate! Thank you so much for watching! I have a few other videos, maybe there's a few other ideas you can find in there? 🥰

[@arezoojam2708]

Thanks for the detailed reply. I checked with the school. Granolas and crackers seems OK but no chips. I’m trying to learn more. My kids are young & you can imagine how often their taste for food changes. New favourites always 😁

thank for tips. It is not easy to balance parent's workload, kids' health and taste. I wish I can do the things like you!

[@OurCrowsNest5]

You're so right it's incredibly hard to balance! And it doesn't help that we hear so much negative things from all sides (too much processed food, homemade treats - you must have a lot of time on your hands, too healthy - not all kids have that type of tastes) but ultimately, we know what we can and can't do for our families. I'm just here to help with options and choices, so I appreciate this comment so much! 💓

i use the Guerrero soft flour tortillas that I get from Costco! And they definitely are warm (but not hot) by the time they eat them. Make sure to heat the filling up pretty hot along with the tortilla, and wrap it with foil and you're good to go! Or you can also buy a hot thermos that you place hot food into to keep it hot.

[@OurCrowsNest5]

That's what was happening with all my kids too in the very beginning when they were younger! So what i've done with each kid, is I start removing a lot of their desserts (instead of giving 3 oreos, I would give 1 or even 1/2 or instead of a whole mini muffin, I would cut it) and we'd talk about how they can earn back the rest of their dessert by eating their fruits and veggies. Eventually they all grew out of that! I hope this helps and thank you for wathcing! 💖

Doesn’t it all just get mixed up in the lunch box with everything open like that? I find firmer things goes soft when there’s anything with moisture in the lunch box that’s not sealed.

[@OurCrowsNest5]

Hey there Sarah! Actually, there's a pretty good seal on those lids to the compartments! However, if you get a crack in the lid, I've noticed, it doesn't seal as great and then the food can mix in if that's the case. But I'll start showing on my new videos, the lunch boxes when they get home and you'll be able to see that whatever food is not eaten, hasn't been mixed in. Hopefully this helps, but this was my worry too whenever I first bought them when my oldest was starting school, but they've been SO GOOD!

[@homosuspense1893]

Great video! My mum would pack me a couple of sandwiches when I was in school, but I didn't eat them because they were 'unpretty' compared with my classmates' pastry and snacks bought from a store. So mum stopped preparing lunches for me because I didn't touch them anyway. Instead, she started to give me some lunch money that I would spend on those empty snacks and pastry. Feels horrible when I look back at this situation, and I hope my child won't cringe at normal food like I did😢

[@OurCrowsNest5]

Oh, don't feel bad at all, you were a kid! With that being said, I'm really mindful to try and not make my kids lunches 'cute' or 'pretty'. I don't want other kids around them to feel like their lunch is 'less than' if that makes sense? Also, I don't have the energy to make fun food haha!

We've never had a problem with deli meats in kids lunches sitting for more than 3 hours, however you can absolutely use some slim ice packs (I actually just linked them in my description box to the ones we have!) to keep lunches even colder!

Hey thanks for the question! Honestly, not much comes back home. The serving sizes look SO MUCH bigger on camera than what they are. And days when there is some food leftover (which is usually my oldest because he talks too much in the cafeteria 😂) he'll finish when he gets home. In one of my future lunchbox videos, I'll try to do a comparison of what a serving would be in a regular sandwich bag compared to the 'chip area', if that makes sense.

You can put mayo on their roll up’s?

[@OurCrowsNest5]

Definitely! I do such a small amount for them, but I also will include an ice pack in the warmer months. Thank you so much for watching!💕

I wish my daughter could have PB & J sandwiches but in the district we live in you are not allowed any peanut products at all in any schools. I actually didn't know there were schools anywhere that allowed peanut products.

[@OurCrowsNest5]

Hey there! Peanut products varies by district (or country schools in my area).My daughter actually goes to a school where there's no food restrictions! When I show pb in my videos, these lunches don't go to school with them, but they are usually for if we do day trips in our area, like if we go to the beach or mountains. But I totally get your frustration! PB & J's are the easiest (and tastiest!) sandwiches to make! Maybe you could try a toasted PB&J slice for breakfast before school so she doesn't feel like she's missing out? Thank you so much for watching! 💕

@Our Crow's Nest that's a great idea, thank you! My daughter is 10 and super picky, but really good about trying new foods (she rarely likes any, but at least she'll try lol) so I'm always looking for new food ideas. She doesn't like any veggies (but she gets them in her smoothy unknowingly) and for fruit she doesn't like any berries! Apples and kiwi but rarely eats more than a bite or two. Its a struggle

[@OurCrowsNest5]

@@k.and.i That's awesome that she'll at least try something new! And how random that you mention smoothies, cause my husband the other day asked about making smoothies for their lunches! Do you send a smoothie to school with your daughter, and if you do, what type of container do you like? Also, has she ever tried the cotton candy grapes?! They are DELICIOUS! And it's almost like you're eating candy lol!

[@k.and.i]

@Our Crow's Nest yes usually 3x a week i send a smoothy and the other 2 days we use an organization called healthy hunger and they deliver sub sandwiches and fruit drinks to the school for a great price! I have 3 different bottles that I use but I think she prefers the yeti rambler Jr insulated straw cup over the other two. The other two are just plain metal bottles that I personally prefer because everything stays cold for so long! But the yeti is convenient with its handle and straw :) I got it off Amazon for I think $30 (Canadian dollars) I have never heard of or seen cotton candy grapes but I will definitely be looking for them now 😋

[@OurCrowsNest5]

@@k.and.i WHAT?! Oh my goodness I would absolutely love to use a service like this if we had one. Wow! Especially when there are just really hard days when I'm really sick and don't want to make ANYTHING, this service would be amazing!😭 Thank you for letting me know about the tumblers, I'm going to have to look into this as another lunch addition! Yes friend, be on the lookout for those grapes they are incredible! 😍

I love these videos I just wish the background music wasn’t there. I feel like I have to turn my phone up pretty loud to hear the person talking but then the music is blaring in my ear when that person is no longer talking, and it goes to the music. I I love just hearing the person making the video gives detailed instruction throughout the video. No music necessary.

[@OurCrowsNest5]

Hey there Ashley! So sorry about that, this was one of my first lunchbox videos and I was trying to figure out the audio still😂 but thank you SO much for you sweet comment! Check out my other lunchbox videos, I hopefully did a better job with the music🥰🥰

Hiii I am going in 4th grade in 1 week so can you do it? It would really be helpful

Haha congratulations on moving into the 4th grade! ✨ I hope you'll have a great and happy year!

[@SmithNLindsay]

Can young kids easily open the container?

[@OurCrowsNest5]

@@SmithNLindsay yes definitely! The summer before the you get two started preschool, I would make their lunch at home, and place it all in the lunchbox (even though we weren’t going anywhere, we would still eat at home) just so I can watch them open it on their own and teach them if necessary. But they are pretty easy to open once they get used to it!😍

Couldn’t you wrap the burritos in foil to help keep them warm?

Absolutely you can do that! I was trying to create less waste, but might need to do that in the cooler months:) Thank you so much for watching! 💞
