Raise your hand if you’ve ever packed your preschooler a lunch only to discover they suddenly don’t like a single thing you’ve packed! This has been an ongoing theme in our home lately and it can seriously make a mama a bit nutty! Speaking of nuts, our preschool is nut free… which, most are these days, and no nuts means no peanut butter so that rules out one of the four things my preschoolers will eat for lunch. Trying to pack lunches with only a few chosen items, that are still healthy, and not prone to cause hives in allergy ridden children can be one giant mess. Enter Happy Tot Whole Milk Yogurt pouches by Happy Family! This on-the-go yogurt smoothie takes the pain out of lunch packing for my two very picky preschoolers. Thank you to Happy Family Brands for sponsoring this post!
I love packing the Happy Tot Yogurt smoothies for lunch for a few reasons. The first being, they’re easy… It’s one less thing I have to make or prepare, I simply toss it in the lunch box or diaper bag and we’re on our way with a healthy lunch. Secondly, it’s healthy, Happy Tot Yogurt has NO ADDED sugars or sweeteners and is mindfully made with probiotics! But my favorite reason is the sense of independence the yogurt pouch creates. It’s served in a pouch which is something the babes can do on their own. They get to open it, hold it, squeeze it until it’s all eaten up, and then close it and toss it. Total 100% toddler independence which is a rare thing to find in a food!
Next to Happy Tot Yogurt, I can always count on cuties, cheddar bunnies, fruit, and on occasion, spaghetti to round out lunch ideas for the babes. It tends to be easy and simple foods that they love the best, which I’m okay with because that makes packing lunch that much easier. And let’s be honest, ‘easy’ anthing in our house is golden!
I’ve learned that leftovers, soggy sandwiches, and anything that resembles broccoli are big no-no’s in the preschool lunch department. There’s nothing worse than packing something your toddler won’t eat and being forced to head through the drive through, yet again. So tell me, what are your favorite things to pack for preschool lunches, specifically for the picky preschooler! I’d love to hear some new and easy ideas!
