Lunch with Plum + Kindle Giveaway
I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: I love packing lunches. Surely this insanity is fleeting, but for now I’m really enjoying myself, even though our staple of peanut-butter-and-jelly sandwiches has been effectively banned from the school premises.
It helps that I’ve found things that are simple enough to pack, so the process itself only takes about twenty minutes. We’re only a month into our second full year of elementary school, but I’ve accepted this lunchtime challenge and it’s an entertaining task. (It also helps that I love to cook).
I recently bought Catherine McCord’s new Weelicious Lunches book and it’s offered a bevy of new ideas. This morning I packed Sunbutter, banana and honey sandwiches on organic sprouted wheat bread (Costco!) along with a ton of veggies and fruit. I’m anxiously awaiting their verdict, but I’m guessing and hoping they were a hit.
Snack time tends to tweak my otherwise creative tendencies because they need something nutritious and quick. I usually pack a yogurt tube, string cheese, fruit slices, crackers and/or a healthy packaged snack. This is where Plum Organics comes in.
Their organic, low sugar & nut free options have been apart of our on-the-go routine since my oldest was a toddler. We’ve been buying their fruit and veggie squeezers for at least 5 years, packing them for road trips, going out to dinner and other adventures that take us away from our own kitchen. I’m happy to report that they not only like them still, but they’re thrilled to see them in their snack and lunch bags.
Even Beau likes the Plum Kids Morning Mashups with oatmeal.

Pack lunch for Moo, I would definitely be sure to include the fruit shredz because she loves fruit leathers and gummies. I’d also put in a Blueberry Blitz Fruit & Veggie Mashup. I love that these smoothies don’t contain any dairy products because she’s allergic.
Our school lunch is almost the same everyday. Sandwich, greek yogurt, hard-boiled egg, bunny crackers and a water bottle.
My kids love almond butter and honey sandwiches and the yogurt tubes as well! I stick them in the freezer. Then ill do a fruit and veggie (yellow pepper or snap peas are favorites) with hummus or ranch dip. Also a small cookie… Which I’m sure is the first thing to go! 🙂

our lunches are varied but a favorite for all kids (which is pretty rare around here) is breadsticks and bell pepper slices with marinera sauce dip, string cheese, tiny pepperoni rounds and a fruit pouch or yogurt drink.
yogurt, water, plum organics squeezables, pb&j sandwich, grapes, apple slices, crackers
Ours are pretty consistent- cheese cubes, sometimes some meat, veggies, fruits, crackers and something to drink (usually those water-based juice boxes). This keeps my preschool daughter happy so she can pick around at what she wants! My older one needs more variety so I tend to have to google 🙂
Our go-to lunch – Greek yogurt, blueberries and sandwiches.

AAAAHHHH…..We LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE Plum Organics, however, I have no tried the Jammy Sammy’s yet with either girl. They are our go to for everything (i’m not packing school lunches yet-next year!) – car rides, church, play dates, dinner (you know b/c the meal takes FOREVER! in a kids world), at home- after daycare-before dinner, a bed time snack, breakfast on the go with the MISH MASH blueberry and oats-my littlest’s favorite!
I even squirt them out into a bowl with their favorite granola (usually something with coconut), or rice puffs!
Some of the consistent lunch items for us is string cheese, grapes, yogurt, plum fruit straws or shredz, cucumber cream cheese sandwiches, cheese tortillas – ok this is making me hungry :)) nlevdan3 at yahoo dot com

My son is a majorly picky eater, but we’ve had him on Plum organics since he was a baby, in fact that was the first and only baby food he ever tasted and the only way we got any veggies in him! Even now my go to easy lunch items for him are always cheese cubes, sliced fruit and a side of Plum organics greek yogurt (he loves kale apple!) I did not know about the Jammy Sammy items and I saw on their Facebook page bistro bowls! I’m so excited to try these with him, this is so much better than just plain ol mac n cheese!!

We do a lot of cream cheese and jelly sandwiches and always include some sort of fruit squeezer.
My son loves sandwiches from paninis to turkey to grilled cheese, cheese sticks, a side of fruit usually grapes, oranges, or melon, and whole wheat crackers.
