  • In today's video I’m going to show you how to DIY 4 of the most popular store bought, ready to eat, kid lunches (also known as LUNCHABLES)
    Now don’t get me wrong, I am not throwing any shade at lunchables at all. LUNCHABLES can be super convenient AND I’m definitely a fan on lunchables for when we’re traveling or when we go on field trips!
    BUT I think the great thing about making your own lunchables are that they’re super quick and easy to put together, making them yourself means, you can customize the items, you can swap ingredients out for healthier options if you’d like AND you can definitely save a LOT of MONEY!!

    The best part about this for me is saving all that packaging and plastic that comes with a lunchable. The way you've done yours creates way less waste! Obviously lunchables are fine for a connivence item but if you're buying those all the time it is a total waste of money. Your lunches look better and are healthier too, love that!

  • @chelseagarchar4338
    @chelseagarchar4338 Před 3 lety +2

    Absolutely love this!! Our school lunches are only $1.50 so it’s worth it to us for our kids to eat at school and they get good balanced meals. The school sends home a calendar every month of what school lunches are gonna be so if there is something the kids won’t like we can pack them something. My kids are not very picky though. This will save me though on lunches for trips to town and vacation trips. 👍

  • @HumbleVoyager
    @HumbleVoyager Před 3 lety +10

    Hi, Jennifer! I love how you're proving it's less expensive and more fun to make your own Lunchables. My favorite homemade Lunchable is one with cubes of cheese, meat and vegies made into tiny kabobs on cocktail picks, paired with pretzels, olives and pickles. I'd have mine with some mixed berries as my fruit. For a snack I'll add mixed nuts and my treat would be half of a Lily's Coconut and Dark Chocolate bar. Oh, and for a beverage I'd have Decaf Iced Tea. So delicious!!

    I am wondering though and I truly check amazon EVERY.SINGLE.DAY waiting for your lunch kits to become available in the blue and purple lunch boxes.
    I have enjoyed your lunch videos as well as the tour of your space. I will never have all the pieces and supplies you have nor do I really need it all but I have LOOVED picking and choosing all the pieces that will work for me and my kids. So thank you for all your advice and recommendations on products for fun lunches.
    I hope you and your family are doing well and enjoying your summer. Sending lots of love from MA. Xox-Delia

    I got new job as a substitute camp teacher. At a year round (track out) camp. So I really need lunch ideas. That don’t need to use a microwave. As the preschools that I substitute at and very very small private school I work at. All have ways can heat my lunch and keep in a refrigerator. So now am in need of lunch ideas! And I like that you listed the prices of your own homemade lunchables. Yet I am a adult I am more of a big kid at hart. So actually like your version is better then the lunchables. Plus it’s so much healthier. Also it better for the environment which is a win-win for me!
    Really appreciate your lunch videos love that you. Make the lunch healthy but realistic healthy. As in you still have fun food but find ways of making it healthier. As much as possible you always have a fruit and vegetable. And you try to include a meat and dairy. And you still include sweet treats and snacks/juices. I appreciate that you always try to also do more environmental Options. It’s really nice that you try to also help the environment. Thank you

    The dollar store has came out with bento type containers. They have a container VERY similar to the sisters lunch cubes, and then they have a bento box. If to7 could do some cute affordable lunches with those, I’m sure it’ll be a hit!
