Easy Back to School Lunch and Snack Ideas

One more week until school begins, and I’m already stressing about school lunches. Does any else have a picky eater? We were lucky that Shahzaib’s Montessori provided school lunches, but now that he’s starting kindergarten, I’ll have to send him with lunch. I’m eventually planning on writing out a two-week meal plan that I can share if you’re interested, but for now, I’ve made a list of different snack and lunch ideas that I’ll be referencing back often. Hopefully, you find this list helpful when deciding what to pack for your kid’s next lunch.
