Bento Box Lunches For Kids

Sharing is caring!

Need bento box lunches for kids or toddlers?  

Here’s simple and easy bento box lunches that are approved by all my kids!  

All of these bento box lunches can be made ahead of time and put the fridge.

These lunches are good for preschool, daycare, home, or on-the-go! 

• Pasta with mixed vegetables and shredded chicken, topped with butter and parmesan cheese.
  • I cooked the pasta and added in a bag of frozen mixed veggies while it was cooking.  I added in about a cup of pre-cooked shredded chicken.
  • Add in butter and top with parmesan cheese.
• Mandarins
• Raisins
• Annie’s gluten-free bunny crackers
• Avocado (you can add a little bit of lemon juice to prevent from browning)

• Mini Avocado Muffins
  • These muffins have no refined sugar and are good for lunchboxes or breakfast.
• Sliced cucumbers
• Shredded cheese
• Toasted O’s
• Sliced grapes (always slice grapes for toddlers and preschoolers since they are a choking hazard)

• Tortilla with melted cheese
• Sliced apples

You can make these lunches in any container.  I like this bento box because I just need to wash one dish!

I like to mix and match my sides.  Use whatever fruits or vegetables you have.  I always try to add in at least 2-3 foods I know my toddlers will eat.  Then I’ll add in 1 or 2 foods that are newer to them or they are learning to like.

I always add in an ice pack and a drink – usually milk in a thermos or water.
