Bento Box Lunch with Horizon #HorizonBTS
Disclosure: This Bento Box Lunch with Horizon blog post was sponsored by Horizon, but the opinions are 100% my own.
It's time to start planning your back to school lunch options. Can you believe the summer is almost over? I am a planner so I like to have all my little ducks in a row by the time the first day of school rolls around.
That way we can start the mornings off right. There is nothing worse than running around in the morning trying to throw a wholesome lunch together. These cute Bento Box Lunch for Kids makes my life so much easier!
I like packing our school lunches the night before so all we have to do is pack it in a lunch box on our way out the door. Otherwise, the temptation to just grab anything handy is a big problem.
When I don't get our school lunches made the night before I end up throwing in snacks that are not really smart snack option for my granddaughter's lunch.
I love a Bento Box for school lunches ( or snack time) for this reason. A Bento Box is a great way to pack a fun and nutritious lunch for kids and even adults.
Horizon makes it very easy to make sure our kids are packing wholesome snack options in their lunch box.
