Instructions
Prep ingredients of choice. You can have kids help choose what options they want to give them choice and control over their lunch.
Line up the ingredients on the counter or table, I like to put them into categories so that they can choose one per category.
Fill each container with the options from each category. You can make multiple lunchables and store in the fridge for the week.
Notes
You can mix and match this in so many ways! Use whatever items your family prefers.
Nutrition facts for this include using: tofu, cheese slices, crackers, grapes, carrots, ranch and chocolate chips.
