WHAT I PACK MY PRESCHOOLER FOR LUNCH| 7 EASY SCHOOL LUNCH IDEAS| BENTGO BOX| Tres Chic Mama

[@juliarigout]

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again….you’re so lucky that Sydney is a good eater!

[@TresChicMama]

Awww I know it. I’m certainly lucky with her eating! Don’t know how because I was the opposite 😅

[@helloheavenleigh278]

I just hate this kind of comment. It’s not luck. Pickiness is very much learned. Any kid will be picky if you don’t give them a variety of foods, let them snack all day, cook them seperate meals or only cook meals that they like, or feed them processed/addictive food on a regular basis. No child has ever died because of a lack of Mac and cheese/chicken nuggets/pizza. It sounds from the video like she has been very intentional with feeding her daughter well to prevent pickiness. I did the same with my son, and of course he has likes and dislikes, but he will try anything and will eat most things even if he doesn’t love them as much as pizza.

[@derek4412]

@@helloheavenleigh278 there are levels to picky eating. I don’t feed my daughter any highly processed food and even she is much pickier at four years old than she was at 2.5 years old. She won’t touch avocados/guacamole anymore, or even applesauce (unless it has cinnamon lol). Sometimes palates change as the children grow older, and they can begin to start tasting the bitterness in some foods that they didn’t taste when they were younger.

[@Yeller29]

⁠​⁠@@derek4412totally agree! My kid also dislikes certain textures which limits what he’ll eat. My other son however loves to try different foods and loves most of the things we give him. Couldn’t agree with your comment more!

[@sambartlett1435]

​@@helloheavenleigh278Hey, I'm sorry to let you know but no, you just got lucky. I did the same thing with my kid and I was soooo sure I was just such an awesome mom and then one day she stopped eating most things! It sounds like you only have one kid. Once/if you have more you'll realise you have less control over their behaviour than you think you do. I'm sure you are a good mom but you are not the reason he eats everything.

[@lilycloy]

You are the best mama!!!! I don’t know how you do it as a single mom.. you have my full respect and I admire you! I know it is not perfect all the time but I appreciate your realistic vlogs! Thank you :)

[@TresChicMama]

Absolutely not perfect in the least haha but all we can do is try our best right?! Thank you so much ❤️❤️❤️

[@randljuliansawesome]

For those who can't bring peanut butter, there is something else called Wowbutter. It's made with soybeans and is a great alternative with a similar taste! There are lots of sunflower oil based butters out there as well! Good luck Mommas!

[@TresChicMama]

Yay!!! Thank you for letting us know this!!

[@randljuliansawesome]

@@TresChicMama Not a problem at all! I work in a nut-free preschool, so I totally understand the struggle. 😊

[@lifeasthesmjs695]

Wow!!!! Those meals are amazing!!! I would totally eat all of that stuff.

[@jenreadslottie3367]

This is a much needed video! Thank you so much! My 3 year old goes 5 days a week and having a hard time with figuring out what to pack. She is picky but if she’s super hungry she might eat it lol

[@TresChicMama]

It certainly can be challenging figuring out new school lunch ideas haha 🤪 Sydney needs variety or she gets bored of the same foods & won’t eat it 😆 good & difficult

[@small11989]

Sydney is such a great eater!. All the veggies she eats! That’s great . Lots of great ideas!. Thank you so much x

[@stephaniemikesh9689]

I absolutely love this variety. I struggle with my 8 year old son so badly! He hates bell peppers. At least I'm able to give him carrots and hummus. Today he had a tueky sandwich, apple slices, kiwi, goldfish, and a rice crispy treat 🥰

[@TresChicMama]

That sounds so great & healthy too!!! We definitely do a lot of bell peppers since Sydney loves them. But edamame, broccoli & cucumbers too are great!

[@stephaniemikesh9689]

@@TresChicMama I would never have thought to try edamame! Thanks 🥰

[@rachelcarson3877]

The kale chips 😂 'uhh this looks a little sketch' had me 😂😂

[@melscookingcrafting]

Such a great variety of lunches! Thank you for sharing! :)

[@TresChicMama]

Thanks for watching!

[@conita9837]

Where did u get this lunchbox? My 4 yr old saw your daughters lunchbox and wants it lol

[@jessicaweber5283]

I am so triggered by you putting the jelly directly onto the peanut butter! 😂 I just spread it on the other piece of bread! Do other people put it right on the peanut butter?! 🧐

[@TresChicMama]

🤣🤣🤣 I think I’m the only one who makes it this way lol I have it in my head that it will not absorb into the bread as much

[@jessicaweber5283]

@@TresChicMama hahaha love it!

[@pseller4052]

What an amazing mom you are! These lunches are so good

[@TresChicMama]

Thank you so much!! 🥹 I’m certainly not perfect but it’s all with heart

[@J92013]

Thank you I needed realistic ideas for preschool lunches.

[@TresChicMama]

You are so welcome!

[@meravech]

Loved the ideas and the combinations, thank you!!!😘😘

[@TresChicMama]

I’m glad you enjoyed 😁

[@LeanneWhittington]

Blue cheese dressing !! Wow Sydney is going to be in the food industry when she’s older, maybe like a food critic or something haha 😂 or chef! My son wants everything plain 🙄 😂 and I think my little girl is copying his habits haha 😂 x

[@MadelieneVanMarter]

I never thought to add hot water to the thermas first to keep it warm haha. Definitely doing this next time! 💛

[@TresChicMama]

It definitely helps a little!!

[@reganstandlick7520]

I use to work for a school that was a nut free zone and I tried doing sunflower butter instead of peanut butter. Kids these days just love those pouches. I really want to try the target brand.

[@TresChicMama]

Ooooo how was the sunflower butter?! Great idea!!!!

[@reganstandlick7520]

@@TresChicMama it took some getting used to at first and I think sunflower is more salty that peanut butter. but it was still good.

[@PatyChowVlog]

Love the ideas! My toddler only goes to preschool two days a week for a few hours so it’s easier for my to prepare snacks. I want him to eat bell peppers but they’re a big no-no for him :( Thanks for the ideas!

[@TresChicMama]

Totally get it! They are some strong willed little humans haha

[@yeseniafelix7625]

Aww this was awesome! Thanks for the ideas 😊

[@TresChicMama]

I love filming meal ideas & what we eat in a day videos! So happy to help 😄

[@ashleighbby11]

Such a good idea to pour hot water in the thermos while the food is cooking. Never thought of that!

[@kristinkircher5411]

You are so so blessed having a little one that eats everything! I wish I would’ve tried harder when my daughter was younger to feed her a variety of everything and more nutritious foods. She is in a CRAZY picky phase right now. It’s chicken nuggets or Mac and cheese and applesauce like every single day. It’s so bad…. 😳 Anyhoo, love that you’re doing Vlogmas! I so look forward to each video! ❤️

[@TresChicMama]

Ugh I definitely count my blessings with this 🤞😬 You aren’t alone mama!! I bet they will be a great eater some day!

[@joannemott71]

Those are great lunches does she have any bottled water to drink? I see a lot of mom’s put in a juice box or pouches along with a bottle of water that they keep in the fridge overnight? Thank you that was fun. 🙏🎅🏼🎄🤶🏼☃️❤️🇨🇦

[@TresChicMama]

She has a water bottle every day! I don’t pack her juice. Just a personal choice.

[@brookedunn5607]

This is an awesome video. Great lunch ideas! You are so lucky to have a GOOD eater. Sydney truly is not a picky eater & enjoys healthy foods. That’s awesome!! My daughter will begin pre school this year for the first time. She is 3. She’s not a huge meal eater. Luckily the place she will go to provides snacks ..

[@TresChicMama]

Aw thank you! Definitely try making her mini meals that are disguised as snacks 😈 haha Sydney went through a time where she would much prefer snacking all day so I had to do this some

[@ydmorales]

You are amazing! You replied to everyone's comments. Going to try the pasta dishes for my little ones, needed ideas! Thanks (Love your makeup by the way)

[@TresChicMama]

Aww I try so hard to read & reply to all of you! It means so much to me that you all support & take the time to comment ❤️🥰

[@Funplaytimewithmorgan]

Wow! You are so lucky that you kid eats healthy. I’ve tried to mix it up with fruits and veggies but my 5 year old wants nothing. You are very blessed lol

[@TresChicMama]

Awww I still hold my breathe because I don’t know how I (being a finicky eater) got so lucky haha 🤯

[@Lisa-kz7vw]

Those are some healthy nutritious lunches definitely makes it easy that Sydney isn't picky like many children especially children her age.

[@TresChicMama]

Aw I know I’m lucky with her. I just hope to help some others out!

[@courtneyscott6055]

I’m watching this prepping for preschool and HAVE to share this with you. The brand BlueEle makes a fantastic thermos that I personally found keeps their warm foods warm for up to 12 hours. I tested it out myself too just to see and if you prep them in advance as you did in this video- they keep food nice and warm for lunch time too. Wanted to share just in case your brand of thermos isn’t doing the job but if it is that’s great too!

[@TresChicMama]

Oh thank you so much!!! She always says her food is warm but not very warm haha I’m definitely going to look for that one now!

[@courtneyscott6055]

@@TresChicMama of course! It’s $21ish- but worth it to where I bought a 2nd. 😉

[@teresasavalos4975]

Love all your lunch ideas and Sydney’s lunch box! Definitely goin to get one of those when my little guy starts kindergarten ! I’m definitely worried about what I’m goin to feed my little guy he won’t eat bread unless French toast sometimes won’t eat cheese or lunch meat or pasta he will only eat nuggets ,pizza , All Fruit breakfast sausage and then of course he loves all the bad stuff cookies etc only way I can get some veggies in is the veggie fruit pouches

[@TresChicMama]

Nothing wrong with pouches!!! They can pack some great things in there 🙌
