Vegetarian lunchbox inspiration: Week 4

We're almost halfway through week 5, so week 4's post is officially a wee bit late. Sorry.  I am trying to keep up with this once a week re-cap but life gets busy and I don't get an opportunity to go on the computer very often.

I am loving packing my 5 year olds lunch every day for school and most days it comes home empty! The days when there is some left it's still cold from the ice pack and she'll eat the few things left when she gets home from school for a snack. 

We are learning what she likes and dislikes to eat cold. Thankfully she is NOT a picky eater {aside from disliking beans of all kinds}, but she has foods that she associates with being hot and she just doesn't like them cold.

Here are her vegetarian lunchboxes from last week.  **They are all very low on added sugars as we are doing a sugar smart challenge in our house currently.** 

Monday:

1/2 a whole grain English muffin with PB and raspberries, cottage cheese, black olives, bell peppers, carrots, cucumber, broccoli, and a banana.

 

 Tuesday:

Whole wheat pasta tossed with pesto and black olives, cheese, apples, pretzels, pistachios, bell peppers, carrots, and cucumbers.

 Wednesday:

PB & honey sandwich cut into a pumpkin shape with a cookie cutter, cashews, hard-boiled egg (cut in half with the yolk scooped out because she doesn't like that part), strawberries, carrots, cucumber, and sliced Colby jack cheese.

 Thursday:

1/2 a whole grain English muffin with cream cheese and pear, hard boiled egg, grapes, cashews, carrot, cucumber.

 Friday Funday:

My daughter wants to be a panda for Halloween this year.  She just loves them so I created a special lunch for her with a panda theme! There is a PB&honey sandwich cut with CuteZCute cutters, pretzels, strawberries, basil leaves, Havarti dill cheese, grapes, cashews, and carrot/cucumber cookie cutter heart cross-overs.

That's all for tonight as I still have to pack tomorrows lunch! 

Thanks for visiting,
