Do you find yourself struggling when it comes to packing lunch?  Are you looking for some new ideas?  Look no further!  Here are a few tips that can help make packing your lunch box easier!
 
Before diving into lunch preparation, you need to ensure you are well equipped.  Stock up on basic essentials like an insulated lunch box or bag, ice packs, reusable containers (different sizes), insulated containers and cutlery.  Find a drawer or cupboard and store them all in the same space for easy access.  For lunch items and snacks, designate a space in the refrigerator and in the pantry where you can store them together.  That way, when it comes time to preparing lunches, everything will be easy to locate- time saved! To save more time, cut and portion your veggies and fruits in individual containers ahead of time, cook some chicken or eggs for sandwiches, cut up cheese cubes, or bake and freeze a batch of healthy muffins that you can quickly grab and add to your lunch box.
