- A week of packed school lunches! Yumbox and Bento style! We shared what she packed and what she ate. I have a picky kindergartner and she likes small snacks so I love using the yumbox. We try to keep her lunches healthy and wholesome. Do you guys have any recommendations?

Oh man! I have picky eaters too! Thank you for the great ideas!
I loved that he ruined her pepperoni
lol Right? that part had me laughing.
I laughed so hard at that!
deyanna work out yeah that was cute😊
😂
Highlight of the video!!!!
loveing it. lots of love from melissa higgins from scotland xxx ooo
Peanut butter and jelly rolls!
Do more video make Nutella sandwhich she might like
I've noticed that your daughter eat her entire lunch when your husband prepares it for her. Just an observation.
deborahalexander1 I was thinking the same thing. Zara is absolutely a daddy’s girl lol
Watch her last video, she didn't eat her lunch and her dad fixed them.
Danielle Budick oh ok.
I was thinking the same thing! Lol. Maybe she likes the other lunch containers better when they are separate?
Finding a way true
The biggest mistake we make is thinking life is all about our dreams and desires. We forget that God's Will always comes first.
Maybe she doesn't like that box :) idk with kids I never know what my kids do and don't eat it all gets tossed at the end of lunch anyway.
Any left over food from her lunch and her drink and her snack any trash what every she did need after school when she come home from school need to check her lunch box and need a peanut butter and for the apple finish her lunch she will bring home her lefte over food from her snack and her lunch maybe she was not feeling good grape she is shy to talk she this not know what she like for lunch for the next day
I must be a bad mom cause I just don't let my child be a picky eater. Now if I know he truly doesn't like something I won't fix it, but basically he eats what I eat, and his lunches I pack his lunch with sandwiches crackers, pretzels, fruit. If he doesn't. I find that eventually he will eat when he's hungry. But I've never been one to cater to just what he likes or if only he packing Mac n cheese and chicken nuggets, and nope. Good ideas though! I appreciate it!
You might have better luck keeping the peeled & sliced apple from browning if you're allowed to use a zippered sandwich bag in her lunch box (I know some schools are zero waste and prohibit baggies). Put the apple inside, and then use your mouth to suck out the air so it's basically vacuum sealed. This keeps more oxygen off of the apple and slows the browning process. Fancy people might use a real vacuum sealer gadget, but it works just fine without it.
lol, life with a picky eater! The struggle is real.
Hey Jia... any lunch ideas for adults that are trying to eat healthier and less processed foods?
Jia, have you tried dried fruit without sugar added and see how she likes that since it wont turn brown
If she doesn't like lemon on her apples try pineapple juice instead. It still keeps the apples from turning brown and it's not bitter!
brownmommylife smart idea and nicer
I never thought of pineapple juice! Awesome idea 👍
Thats genius! I'll definitely try that!
brownmommylife Thanks for the tip! I’ll try that with my kids as well!
Lol!😃 you ruined the pepperoni.
I was a picky eater when I was young, I've gotten better in my adult life.☺ Thanks for sharing!
Funny that Zara doesn't like grapes anymore, but ate them when offered lol. Maybe you should try introducing one new item a week (in addition to her requested items) and see if she takes to it. I know she'll come around sooner or later, but in the meantime, you guys are doing an awesome job!
You could try a pinwheel roll up with tortilla and pepperoni, or fruit kebabs! Does she like yogurt or applesauce pouches?
She hates yogurt but I'll definitely try the roll up idea. Thanks for watching!
Hi Jia, love the video as always. The lunches looked great. U were saying that Zara doesn't like her grapes anymore? I get that way sometimes bcuz the grapes sometimes have little aggravating seeds even though they claim to be seedless and it could be that the grapes are not as sweet or they just doesn't taste good at all for whatever reason. Sometimes u just get a batch that's not that great. That happens to me a lot. And the other thing is about the apples. I don't like that lemon taste on my apples either so I use "FRUIT FRESH". It's in powder form and u can put it on all types of fruit and it doesn't alter the taste of the actual fruit itself and it prevents browning. I don't know if it comes in other brands or not or if it comes in an organic version but the kind I have is by BALL, the mason jar people I think, and it is on the aisle with the canning supplies. It only cost a few dollars and has only a few ingredients (listed below). 5 calories per 1\4 tsp, 1g carbs, 1g sugar, no sodium, no fat, no artificial flavors nor colors, excellent source of vitamin C. The ingredients are: (listed in this exact order)
Dextrose
Ascorbic Acid (vitamin C)
Citric Acid
Silicon Dioxide (Anti-Caking)
Contains no Sulfites
I hope this helps. Stay blessed.😄👍
“Medium” lol...I love her...I have one picky eater in my tribe as well.
Try orange on the apple, adds some sweetness but none of the tartness of lemon and sill keeps them from turning brown
Great idea! Thanks for watching!
Although I have 2 adult children and 2 teens in high school, Im so excited I found this channel. I love seeing a Mom that I can relate too!
Good job Jia's hubby! (Sorry don't remember his name) you too Jia. 😊
Okay, this video had me laughing so hard! How about yogurt or applesauce? Would she eat tuna salad or chicken salad? Or the turkey on her Hawaiian roll? Maybe meal prep for her too? Make some chicken (or whatever meats she likes) and put that in her lunch.
You could try putting the apples in water then put salt in the water then dump the water out and keep the apples in there then wash the salt off and it won’t turn brown the next day
Some great ideas there!
Some empty spot are is empty you need put more staff in the empty spot she did not finish her lunch hot food dinner roll you ho down to the school talk to her teacher she did not finish her grape after she eat her lunch no talking at lunch time
I’m picky always have. Let her have some say what she wants.
Tania🥂🍾🙎🏼♂️👩🏼👩👧👧👨👩👧👧✨✨✨✨💓💓🌹🌹🌹
Poor Charles trying so hard to please that baby! Does she like yogurt? Townes like to take a yogurt cup with cereal to top it with
She hates yogurt :(
My kids aren't really that fussy but they definitely are with lunch food. They have the same things every single day. I'm not there to try encourage them to eat it so I just give them stuff I know they'll eat. Could you try giving less food? Then add more food when she eats that? That has helped us :)
Zara too. Same thing. Every day.
My daughter is extremely picky too it’s horrible! Lol she won’t have meat except for chicken nuggets 🤦🏻♀️
I am so big into Lunch packing !!! I pack my sons everyday ! Great ideas. We also use the yumbox, that’s my favorite container
I love these type of videos!
Excellent school lunch video
Excellent school lunch video
Try getting the apples that are already peeled and sliced...they have the stuff on them so they don’t get brown and you can’t taste the difference. Also have you tried cereal bars or triscuits and hummus. My son is super picky and those are some things he will eat. Great video.
Chicken cheese roll ups
These videos are satisfying. I love these videos. I found this video on TH-cam explore. Try putting a lemon next to the apple so you can squeeze
Jia, I've read if you cut the apple up, the use a rubberband and put it back together it cuts down on the oxygenation process. Unfortunately tho, you can't peal the apples this way.
My 5 year old always has lunch left. She rarely rats the sandwich... I did lunchables thinking she would be more likely to eat it if it was separate but she didn't. She is a snacker and likes eating bread.
My daughter loves the seeds of change rice for her school lunch. I also send strawberries & Nutella for her to dip. She also loves the pearls black olives.
try applesauce
She told Jia she didn't like grapes!!! Lol
Audrea Johnson I laughed at this too!
Omg my 3 year old is the same!!!! One day she eats 4 bananas and the next day she says bananas are so gross!!!!!
YES! Its like what is going on with their taste buds.
Where's Ava?
Hey Jia great tips....You should try the cutie oranges my son loves them
My brother
I love that idea with the cheese and pepperoni swords. Trying that right now lol
Awww it's nice to hear your husband on camera for a change being that he's camera shy lol I have a picky eater too! Great video!
.
😯 I know the struggles of feeding a picky eater oh so well. Thanks for the video
If you mix honey and water that prevents browning too for the apples
yumbox has warranty for 1 year.. they'll replace it for you free!!
Great Lunches
The fruit cleaner I got helps prevent browning.
If she doesn't like the taste of the lemon on the apples, try sprite soda.
Mine is becoming picky too! Luckily he is only three and the nursery he goes to does all his meals there. Weirdly he will eat absolutely anything there but not at home. Maybe it’s mummy’s cooking 😢 I have found he is quite good with melon and mango cut up which at least doesn’t go brown. He will also eat pretty much any meat or cheese if it is in a sandwich thin. I’m not sure if you can get those in the us though
Yes, u can get sandwich thins or flatbread in the US
For fruit I️ peel a couple of mandarin cutes.
Jia why you over here enticing me to purchase those items from amazon? Shame on you...lol. The struggle is real. I deal with the same thing with our 5 year old. Great video.
HAHAHA! I struggle too! Thanks for watching!
Zara is such a beautiful name
I also have a picky eater but she is 2 1/2. Has she always been a picky eater or did this happen recently? I’m curious what you all serve her for dinner. I feel like I feed my daughter the same things every day. Ugh what a struggle!!
I got a 5 year old that only eats lunchables, I was a picky kid too tho 😭 it's so bad for him , but there cheap so ig thats a plus for me sometimes
Maybe ask her to make her own lunch with you supervising. When you eat lunch or dinner at home make a game of it. Make face plate dinners using vegetables and meat. Or Christmas tree dinners with pasta and cut up cherry tomatoes. Or animal shapes. Mash potato or pumpkin hair or even pasta, raisins or cranberries or dried cherries etc for eyes, carrots for a nose etc etc. Or salad vegetables which she can try out for dinner. Add fruit fresh and dried to the dinners and then she may like them for lunch. Give her a mold and get her to put pasta in it like a star then she might eat it for lunch as well. Or baked pasta in shapes. I did this for a friend of mines little girl who would eat nothing for her and it worked like a charm. She ate every single thing I cooked, but in her own special way lol. Now she eats everything. Hope some of this might help you a little.
Thats a great idea! Thanks for watching!
Love these videos! Have you tried green apples? They keep their color a lot longer, even when cut. If you didn't peel them, would she eat it like a watermelon? That would preserve the color as well
I'll definitely try the green apples. Thanks for letting me know!
