Healthy Vegetarian Lunchbox Ideas

These Healthy Vegetarian Lunchbox Ideas and snack pairing make packing your kiddo a simple and delicious lunch a breeze!

Lunch will always be my favorite subject.

The midday bell would ring a sweet symphony of joy as we were finally allowed to run to our cubbies and discover what goodies (or not so goodies, sorry Mumsy) our parents had packed for us that day. Not gonna lie...if there was any type of chocolate or peanut butter in there I was on cloud 9,576 for the rest of the day.

When it comes to packed lunches, it's really easy to make them unhealthy with a bunch of processed crapola, added sugars, and funky additives. Lucky for all of us, it's crazy easy to make them healthy, too. Kids' lunches are the afternoon pick-me-ups that power their bodies and brains for the rest of the day; so it's super duper important to fuel them up with food that is nourishing and of course tasty.

Today I have for you a boatload of healthy and easy recipes from a bunch of my dietitian and blogger pals that are fit for a school lunch or a work lunch! I've also added pairing suggestions to get the creative lunching juices flowin'.
