Bento Lunch

The school year has begun and I decided that jumping on the Bento Lunch Wagon would be a good idea this year... (We'll see how I feel in a few weeks right?? Haha!) 

This style of packing lunch for my boys has me inspired to get them to try more fruits and veggies... I have extremely picky eaters! 

Of course, as I sit here typing this, my 14 month old is eating dog food! Aaaack! 

Now that he's comfortably enjoying a human snack, let me continue to tell you about my first Bento Style lunch concoction! 

Again, I'm dealing with super picky eaters... So I'm sticking with basics to start and slowly will be building up to include healthier varieties... Here is our first line up! 

PB & J paired with a couple of Oreos. Some carrot sticks with Doritos, and some Blueberries/Strawberries! I included some raw sugar to sprinkle on the fruit in case it was too tart for my oldest... :D  

My 8 year old is more flexible when it comes to trying food so I'm kind of excited to try some cool combinations with him! 

Do you pack bento lunches for your kids? Feel free to share what works best for your little ones! :)
