Easy Lunchbox Solutions

We are halfway through the school year (crazy), and I am still always looking for easy lunchbox solutions. I am the first one to always admit that my older son is the pickiest eater in the world. He makes packing lunch very difficult because there just aren’t many foods he will eat. Trust me when I tell you, I’ve tried everything when it comes to getting him to try stuff…and nothing works. That’s why when I heard about DOLE Mixations, I was optimistic he would like them! The new DOLE Mixations® are one-of-a-kind fruit fusions with imaginative combinations of smooth fruit sauces mixed with juicy chunks of real fruit!

I really love how they come in four different flavors: Apple-Strawberry Sauce with Dices of Apple, Pineapple-Mango Sauce with Pineapple Pieces, Peach-Apple Sauce with Pineapple Pieces, Apple-Raspberry Sauce with Dices of Apple. My son Austin absolutely loves the Apple-Strawberry Sauce with Dices of Apple and has been asking me everyday to put one in his lunch.

Now, the things I love about DOLE Mixations the most..DOLE Mixations are non-GMO*, contain no high fructose corn syrup, no artificial flavors, are gluten free and rich in Vitamin C! I love how the packaging is creative and you can customize the lid! I have way too much fun making little messages on the lids, and my kids love it too! I know when Austin reads my little message at school it puts a smile on his face!

It’s also nice that DOLE Mixations keeps snack time mess-free with no liquid to splash or spill! The fruit is in sauce, not syrup so I don’t have to worry about a mess getting everywhere! Right now there is even $1 off coupon available!

Like I was saying earlier, I am always looking for fun new lunchbox ideas of things my kid will actually eat. We started making snack crackers, and he is obsessed! I kind of love making them, and he loves helping me too! All you need are some crackers, peanut butter, hazelnut spread, marshmallow fluff, jelly, or whatever else you like! This is how we do it…

Spread your toppings onto the crackers! Then close them up and store them into a container for the lunchbox!

This is an easy snack that even my picky eater loves to make and eat! What types of things do you like putting into your kid’s lunch boxes? Do you have picky eaters? Have you tried the new DOLE Mixtations.
