School Lunch Ideas

Scrambling to find something to make the kids for lunch? These school lunch ideas will be a life-saver for busy parents! Getting the kids ready for school in the morning can be a challenge, but making and packing their lunches shouldn’t be. I rounded up some of the best and easiest school lunch ideas that everyone will love.

Making lunches ahead of time is the best way to save time and sanity on busy mornings.  I like to personally pick one or two recipes to meal prep so I don't get overwhelmed trying to make too much at once. Your Instant Pot and Slow Cooker are great for batch cooking big meals all at once, but jarred salads and no cook meals that aren't sandwiches are just as fun and more kid-friendly. There's a little bit of something for everyone in this awesome round up of school lunches!

Once you’ve prepared your lunches, store them in glass meal prep bowls or mason jars. They’re a great way to recycle old containers and keep everything stored safely.
