(Home) School Lunch Tuesday

Here are two more weeks of PlanetBox homeschool lunches:
 Josie's Rover PlanetBox packed with carrot sticks, homemade nut butter and fruit spread sandwich (with Rudi's whole wheat bread), Funky Monkey freeze-dried pineapple and guava (thanks to friends in our buying club who gave us a bag), dried mango, and Justin's Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter cup (thanks to our neighbor, Margie, who sends the kids home with them).
 Dema's Launch PlanetBox was filled with a bit more of the same. The Launch box has bigger spaces (and less of them) to hold the food.
Parker's Launch PlanetBox filled with carrot sticks, Qrunch burger with pesto Vegenaise, lettuce, pickles, and horseradish mustard on an Ezekiel sesame bunFunky Monkey freeze-dried pineapple and guava (thanks to friends in our buying club who gave us a bag), dried mango, and Justin's Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter cup (thanks to our neighbor, Margie, who sends the kids home with them).
Josie's Rover PlanetBox filled to the brim with a mix of cashews and pitachios, Late July Chocolate Sandwich Cookies*, dried mango, almond yogurt with mixed berries and ground flax seeds**, carrot sticks, and chocolate covered mulberries.

I added carrot sticks to Parker's lunch after I took the picture, but I did take a pic with the sandwich open.

*Our new favorite sandwich cookies. We don't buy sandwich cookies often, but they were on sale. These have no strange aftertaste or chalkiness that I've experienced with other sandwich cookies brands.

**I obviously worked around the lack of space for yogurt containers. We usually buy the 24oz. vegan yogurt containers anyway for less waste and more savings and then add our own fruit. I bought Amande brand this month because it was on sale through our buying club. I added thawed frozen organic raspberries, blueberries, strawberries, and ground flax seeds  to the yogurt before pouring it in the containers.

***Pre-kids, we used to eat bagels all the time. We lived in the DC area with an abundance of good bagel shops. They are pretty empty calories though so I don't serve them to the kids often. This month I tried these whole wheat flats (much thinner than normal bagels) and we all fell in love. We had three neighborhood children over yesterday and they enjoyed them too.

****If you like sesame, you will really like these buns!
