This blog post was originally posted in May of And because the boxes I was using were discontinued, sadly. Contains affiliate links. I meet friends there for a quicker-than-lunch visit, or drop in when the kids and I have been running errands and want a little refreshment, and often I swing by the drive-through if the kids both fall asleep in the car and I have some time to kill and want a nice iced coffee.
Last week though, Joseph fell asleep in his car seat, while Anneliese was wide awake — and getting hungry. So I decided to get some coffee for myself and a Protein Bistro Box for her. So I grabbed some ziploc divided containers. I have mostly moved to glass , but there are some things that plastic is just better for cheaper and takes up less space since they nestle into each other better. Unfortunately, the Ziploc containers I used are no longer in production.
These containers are similar, affordable, and have amazing reviews. I ordered some 2 ounce solo cups with lids, but asked the guy at the deli counter if he had a few I could have until they came in the mail. He gave me these 4 ounce ones.
Because I know people pay attention to this stuff, these are calories per box, and here is the rest of the nutrition information:. The other two boxes are dirty, so I only made 6… I think I should get a couple more of the containers to account for overlap time.
A couple of times, I grabbed a box and just snacked on it throughout the morning instead of having breakfast at breakfast time. Then if a kid or I gets hungry, I can just open it up and they can choose something to munch on.
And all of the choices are healthy ones, so they can have control over the specifics. I hope you like this idea, and if you do it, please let me know what you decided to put in yours!

Try a hard-boiled egg with veggies, peanut butter and jelly on whole-wheat bread, or cheese and whole-wheat crackers. Toss in something sweet too, like craisins and almonds, dark chocolate, or a piece of fruit. Stick to smaller portions of cheese and nut butters to keep calories in check. Pack these snack boxes at the beginning of the week, and keep a stash for days when you just don't get around to sitting down for lunch.
