Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter BlondiesWant in on a little secret?? ๐Ÿ˜ These protein blondies are made with CHICKPEAS! A favorite of both my 7&4 year olds, these addictive gooey blondies taste DELISH and are also packed with plant-based protein, are grain free, and vegan.
Trail Mix Bites (No Bake)An easy and protein filled no-bake treat, these energy balls are an easy snack that can be made alongside your children.

Loaded Raspberry PopsThese FOUR ingredient pops come together in minutes and have crave-worthy layers made of indulgent chocolate, fresh juicy raspberries, protein- rich creamy peanut butter, and calcium rich Greek yogurt. My kids love when I make this for an after-school snack because they're so delicious and everything is more fun on a popsicle stick!

Back-to-School Lunchbox Ideas

Back To School Lunchbox

Our must-haves for the new school year? ๐Ÿ“š๐ŸšŒ
* A sturdy lunchbox (that even my 6 year old canโ€™t break)๐Ÿฅช
* Easy-to-pack snacks ๐ŸŽ
* A carefree attitude ๐Ÿ˜… Some days, there will be time (and energy!) for cute, themed lunchesโ€ฆ and other days, the freezer stash will be our lunchbox hero. ๐Ÿง‡๐Ÿ

Whatโ€™s in our lunchbox??
โœ๏ธ Pencil waffle sandwiches (using peanut butter as the spread). If not going the themed route, we just send in waffles without shaping them.
๐Ÿ› Hungry caterpillar apples (our kids dip the fruit into peanut butter)
๐Ÿ”ฅ Sโ€™mores energy bites (using almond butter as the base)โ€ฆ these are no-bake and store in the freezer as an easy grab and go make-ahead snack

Blender Banana Spinach Pancakes

Did you know that spinach is one of the most zinc-rich veggies? Zinc is important for many bodily functions such as strengthening your immune system (helping you fight a cold) + aiding in wound healing (for all those bruised knees). ๐Ÿƒ These pancakes are made with clean simple ingredients like oats, spinach + bananas, and come together quickly in a blender. Not feelin that spinach?? Donโ€™t worry! You canโ€™t even taste itโ€ฆ the result is sweet caramelized banana pancakes (that happen to have green specks in them ๐Ÿ˜‰)

Cheddar Broccoli Quinoa MuffinsThese kid-friendly vegetarian quinoa bites can be made three ways: baking in a muffin tin, frying into patties, or using an ebelskiver pan to make round balls (view all options in the photo gallery at the bottom of the recipe page). Either way, the end result is a delicious, protein-, veggie-, and calcium-packed meal that will have the kids coming back for more!
Quinoa Pizza Muffins
Lunchbox Inspiration: “Ice Cream Cone Sundae”It felt like summer weather this week in NY while the kids had spring break, and weโ€™re celebrating with a fun warm weather back-to-school lunchbox idea!
Lunchbox Inspiration- Dinosaur Themed Lunchโ˜€๏ธ Although summer is here, itโ€™s never too early to start planning for back to school! โœ๏ธ Sawyer is starting pre-k this year, and that means our little boy will join his big sister with taking lunchboxes to school! ๐Ÿฅณ ๐Ÿ’ก My biggest tip for new lunchbox packers is to ๐’พ๐“ƒ๐’ธ๐“๐“Š๐’น๐‘’ ๐“Ž๐‘œ๐“Š๐“‡ ๐“€๐’พ๐’น๐“ˆ ๐’พ๐“ƒ ๐“‰๐’ฝ๐‘’ ๐“…๐“‡๐‘œ๐’ธ๐‘’๐“ˆ๐“ˆ! Not only will it encourage them to eat their meals better in school, but it will also make your life a bit less hectic too! ๐ŸŽ’ My kids love to get involved by cutting their fruits + veggies with kid safe knives, portioning out foods, and making designs out of their meals. ๐ˆ ๐Ÿ๐ข๐ง๐ ๐ญ๐ก๐ž ๐ค๐ž๐ฒ๐ฌ ๐ญ๐จ ๐ฌ๐ฎ๐œ๐œ๐ž๐ฌ๐ฌ ๐š๐ซ๐ž ๐Ÿ๐ฎ๐ง ๐ญ๐ก๐ž๐ฆ๐ž๐ ๐ฌ๐š๐ง๐๐ฐ๐ข๐œ๐ก/๐ฏ๐ž๐ ๐ ๐ข๐ž/๐œ๐ก๐ž๐ž๐ฌ๐ž/๐Ÿ๐ซ๐ฎ๐ข๐ญ ๐œ๐ฎ๐ญ๐ญ๐ž๐ซ๐ฌ ๐š๐ฌ ๐ฐ๐ž๐ฅ๐ฅ ๐š๐ฌ ๐š ๐ ๐ซ๐ž๐š๐ญ ๐ฅ๐ฎ๐ง๐œ๐ก๐›๐จ๐ฑ ๐ฌ๐ฒ๐ฌ๐ญ๐ž๐ฆ.
Lunchbox Inspiration- โ€œCauliflower Mac & Cheese Bowlโ€Nothing makes life easier than semi-homemade meals! Today's lunchbox consists of cauliflower mac and cheese, cheddar broccoli quinoa muffins, and carrot cake breakfast cookies!
Lunchbox Inspiration- โ€œSpinach Whole Wheat Quesadillasโ€My favorite veggie to sneak into the kids' lunches is spinach because its mild flavor is always masked by whatever it's combined with. My daughter LOVES grilled cheese and cheese quesadillas, so I always put spinach inside to get in extra nutrients. We've also made these quesadillas with scrambled cheesy eggs + spinach, and she always gobbles them up!
