Back to School season is here! We are officially one week into our very first school year and doing just fine! If you’re looking for some better alternatives for your kids’ lunchboxes then you made it to the right place! There are so many options out there, but not all the best for our little ones. I’ve rounded up some of our favorite, quick and easy (because that’s what it’s all about), better-for-you, bites for back to school lunches!

Green Giant Veggie Tots


French fries and tater tots are almost a staple in most kids diets. Green Giant has taken the traditional tot and created a family-friendly alternative by making them with broccoli and cauliflower. The key to getting my kids to eat more veggies is usually to disguise them in something else. These veggie tots are simple to bake in the oven and don’t contain any artificial flavors or preservatives. You can save $1 off new Green Giant Veggie Swap-Ins with this coupon. To purchase or discover more Green Giant products visit GreenGiant.com.

Advance Pierre PB Jamwich


Peanut butter and jelly is life. If your kids refuse to eat the crust on your typical PB&J sandwich then PBJamwich is for you. They’re an awesome lunch time favorite and even great for snacking on the go while hopping from one school activity to another football practice. My kids are all about the strawberry PBJs so luckily these come in both grape and strawberry varieties. For more information, check out PM Jamwich on their Facebook page.

Sensible Portions Garden Veggie Straws

Individual snack size bags are one of my favorite mom hacks. My daughter loves to pack up her own lunchbox the night before and having pre-packaged sensible portions reduces the fight between us when I make her put some back. Her school requests healthy snacks for their lunchboxes and Garden Veggie Straws are the better-for-you snack vs the traditional bag of chips. Sensible Portions® Garden Veggie Straws are gluten free, contain non-GMO ingredients or artificial colors or preservatives. For more information and other varieties available visit Sensible Portions on their website.

ENTENMANN’S® Little Bites® Chocolate Chip Muffins

Muffins!! Not many kids don’t like muffins, especially when they come in a variety of flavors like ENTENMANN’S® does. One convenient little snack bag is less than 200 calories and perfect grabbing on the way to school, tossing in your kid’s lunch bag or eating as an afternoon snack. They’re the perfect portions for my little ones (and me LOL). My kids favorite are the chocolate chip muffins! To find out where to purchase, head over to their website.

Sour Punch: Real Rainbow Straws

What kid doesn’t have a sweet tooth, right?! Well now you can provide a better alternative to your kid’s favorite candy with Sour Punch® Rainbow Straws. They are high fructose corn syrup free and contain natural colors and flavors like strawberry, lemon, apple and tangerine! Find out where you can get these goodies on their website.

RXBAR

Sometimes mom or dad needs a quick boost before morning drop off. We love these clean, whole food protein bars from RXBARs. Individually packaged and perfect for on-the-go. Each bar is dairy and gluten free with no added sugar. Get 15% off your first order with code BabbleBoxx15 when purchased from their website.

Fruit Shoot- Fruit Punch Flavor

Sometimes its hard to figure out which juice is the best option for your kids. You get lured in with sketchy terms that make you think you’re getting a healthy juice. Fruit Shoot is actually made with real fruit concentrate, tons of water to stay hydrated, and no artificial colors or high fructose corn syrup! Winner! They’re the best for tossing into your kids lunchboxes. Plus there’s a new Fruit Punch flavor option that my kids love! Find out where to purchase here.

I’m always up for new lunchbox alternatives, so leave a comment with some of your favs!
