Simple, Nutritious Lunch Boxes (That Your Kids Will Love)
When I had to start packing lunches for my daughter every day for school, I started out super motivated. I'm a pediatric dietitian, I had this in the bag. But then a few weeks in I realized just how easy it was to "forget" to pack her lunch and have to throw things together at the last min. What started out fun, ended up just being kind of stressful.Â
One day, when I was chatting with my friend she told me how helpful all the lunch ideas were that I was sharing on social media and that she started writing them all down to make things easier. I had an AHA moment.
I immediately went back home and started to write down and categorize the foods I was buying and serving and I typed them all up to keep on the fridge. Lunch packing suddenly was 100x easier. As more and more people started asking me questions about my method, and what foods I was buying, I decided I wasn't the only one that once found packing lunches a little high stress. And so the idea for this guide was born.Â
I hope it helps you as much as the process has helped me. Super simple, nutritious lunches are possible, let me show you my process!

Hi, I'm Jessica
I'm a pediatric dietitian and mom of two who is constantly looking for ways to simplify and streamline my life!
Running a household and a business is no easy task (I'm sure you know a thing or two about the challenges that come with working and raising kids.) So when it comes to meals at home, I like to be efficient.
Packing lunches is something my clients are ALWAYS telling me adds stress to their life. And I get that because it used to add stress to mine too. You have to do it every day! So, I wanted to try and help make things easier.
When my son was born and I was living in a postpartum fog, this guide saved my life. Okay, that might sound a bit dramatic, but it was really helpful. My brain couldn't take coming up with any more lunch ideas. So I was happy to have them all in one place.
Whether you consider yourself a pro-stay-at-home parent or a parent just trying to get by, I think you will find this guide helpful. I'm cheering you on!
