I'm 22 two I'll probably make some of these for my own college lunches 😂 Your kids are really lucky to have parents that are so tuned in to healthy eating!
Thank you both!! Love all the recipes you post as they're simple, fuss-free and delicious!! Lately, we've been toasting sunflower seeds on a hot pan and drizzling with soya sauce as you take pan off the heat. the seeds get lightly covered with yummy salty flavour and once cooled can then be popped in a small container and into a lunch box as a snack. we love them, even the younger, fussier kids! happy days!!
You guys are terrific! My kids love black bean soup with brown rice for lunch, and red bell peppers with hummus. They also like the twang of olives and pickles. Haven't tried tahini with them, but this inspires me. Thanks!
chia crackers with cherry tomato salsa pitta with hummus and sugar snap peas small banana with date caramel flask of leek an potato soup (soup maker 25 mins) added for older ones and me :)
Hello, I bake my own bread with sour-dough (sauerteig) and spread either butter and honey or tahin and honey. They also love it with a slice of gruyere. Here in Berlin we have somthing called "Apfekkraut" which is a melaza made out of applejuice. My kids love it, specially mixed with home-made wallnut butter. I always slice up a fruit of the season and put it in as a little extra treat. best wishes mathias
I take a wrap and spread hummus on it, then top that with spinach, red pepper, cucumber, and peperoncinos. I roll it up and slice it in 3 pieces and put it in a container with an ice pack insert to keep it fresh. It's delicious. : 0 ) I also do a pasta salad with a ton of veggies. I make one batch and it lasts the week.
i love this! :D I love those cardboard ones :D :D - great ideas...would definitely use some at uni! I encourage my little brother to do his lunch as I do mine so we can both be healthy!
Nice one lads. Some crackin ideas there. Shared on facebook. You've just helped me with the dreaded "what to put in the lunchbox that's healthy and will get eaten" challenge with a few things. Cheers
My son boycotted McDonalds on his own at the age of 10 and encouraged his friends to do the same. Now 16 he's started on the junk food train...He know about proper nutrition as he has been taught from a young age, any suggestions to turn him around? Keep up the good work, you guys are awesome! Hi from Canada.
Can't believe some schools don't let any of the other students take in something because some are allergic to it. When i went to primary school, there was people with allergies including a guy with a bad nut allergy and chocolate allergy but the rest of us were still allowed nuts/chocolates in our lunch bags!
Over night oats with seeds and chocolate date sauce for a treat for the kids. What I did for my best friends kid at times I would take a for he liked and made it vegan. I liked the vegan mac n cheese that I made but some times kids don't like every thing that you make them. Do you make salads for them? Vegan parfaits, protein pancakes and quinoa bowls. They might like that stuff too!
I'd love to see a video comparing the sizes of our items available in the US to other countries. all of the Pita bread I have ever seen here is at least four times that size.
+Eva Borosova Oh really? That's amazing! We recently took part in a twin study so we're even more interested in twins than before now that we know what kind of questions to ask. :D
+The Happy Pear :-) 👍It's just great to be one of the twins isn't it? Your best friend is always by your side. I love the way they're doing everything together
+The Happy Pear Oh, well... I could have thought about that on my own! Thanks, guys! :) I'll definitely try that and I'm looking forward to the student lunch boxes!
+Healing Power Oils a calories without nutrition. Sometimes they're necessary but if they can be avoided as best you can it's much healthier. Some have more nutritional value than others two so they're always the best ones to reach for.
+Healing Power We try to use sunflower oil when frying things like garlic and ginger etc, and we use water where we can like frying off onions and tomatoes. Coconut oil has more nutrients than most oils and is slightly less calorie heavy too.
after a day or two of them kicking up and refusing to eat it...they will get hungry and eat it! people who say Oh theyl only eat chips...if that isn't an option they won't starve
Yeah for sure. Sounds like it's gotten a lot harder to pack lunches since I started primary school (~18 years ago) without including anything that could unintentionally cause harm. Only had a ban on peanuts back then!
Sorry but not happening with my kids. all the nuts, tahini...the real problem with kids is that they see what the others have and they will not eat what they have. Kids may eat all this at home but this does not mean they will eat this at school. And the pita will get dry real fast and they do not eat it. It's all about presentation and making sure the temperature and moistness is under controll. Not to forget fun. if your kids smile opening the luchbox the chance that they will eat it is so much bigger. .. yes I have two boys and yes they are picky eaters and yes I work hard to make school lunchbox healthy, delicious and fun for them. Will stop now. thanks for sharing.
+K Kitchenmom I understand where you are coming from in terms of children wanting to have things their friends eat, but i think that also ties hand in hand with how you teach your children about food, if they grow up with that food (like these lads' children have) and they love that food, they will eat it and not be that bothered that their food looks slightly different to theirs. Besides you can always find some healthy alternatives in packaged food especially nower days.
I never use packaged food. We eat almost no processed food. What I meant is that it is not just the healthy food in the lunchbox that is the problem with kids eating it. Most of the things my kids eat at home and love it they would not eat in school watching others eat nutella and crackers....
+K Kitchenmom One of our employees found a pile of bananas over her back wall recently from her sons lunch box. I guess it's all about the fun aspect of it as you say. We give these kinds of lunches to our kids regularly outside of school to help them get a positive attitude towards the food and it helps a lot for getting them used to eating it even when you're not around.
I know it's sad but imagining him throw them over the back wall and the pile growing each day is funny. It also made me remeber how I as a kid woud put my lunch apple back into the bowl in the kitchen until my mother noticed that there was this magic apple that appeared ten minutes after I came home.
So weird that people can't eat peanuts in a school if there are some kids with allergies. They will not get sick by seeing peanuts, only by eating them.
Some kids' allergies are that bad that they react to the smell of peanuts too :( and also can't forget kids are messy so if one kid has peanut butter ok their hands it can transfer to another kid/or objects in the class that everyone uses !
Or you could give the kid real food like a ham or turkey breast sandwich kids need meat to grow they shouldn’t be forced to be vegan because the parents are dumb and vegan I’m not opposed to going vegetarian one or two nights a week but not 24/7 365
Dwarfer230 I could say that there’s nothing dumb about caring for animals, the planet, and your health . . . but I think you may be too dumb to umderstand.

They were super cute. But I like to make my mason jars cute.
Hats off to you two! Mmmmmm
My kids really like coconut yogurt with some dried fruit in it, like mulberries, goji berries, and cranberries :)
+Momma Maverick That's starting to sound like our lunch. :D

Energy balls. Just what my 5 year old needs. Energy.
You guys are the absolute best

Sounds so delicious! 😄🙌😘
Good ideas! Even though I'm in high school! You should definitely make some recipes for older kids/young adults :)
i love this! :D I love those cardboard ones :D :D - great ideas...would definitely use some at uni! I encourage my little brother to do his lunch as I do mine so we can both be healthy!

"Or whatever the heck you give them" this made me laugh more than it should've haha
Love it Radha! 😂😂😂
great video! love you guys :)
I want to be your daughter!!!!!!! hahaha
I love peanut butter stuffed dates, but never tried tahini stuffed dates.. gotta try now!
What I like to take for a little treat is yoghurt, grated apple and cinnamon. It tastes great, has fresh fruit, no refined sugar... love it! ^-^
Can't believe some schools don't let any of the other students take in something because some are allergic to it. When i went to primary school, there was people with allergies including a guy with a bad nut allergy and chocolate allergy but the rest of us were still allowed nuts/chocolates in our lunch bags!
I can! An anaphylactic reaction to foods should be taken seriously. Rather be proactive rather than reactive to situations like that.
Over night oats with seeds and chocolate date sauce for a treat for the kids.
What I did for my best friends kid at times I would take a for he liked and made it vegan. I liked the vegan mac n cheese that I made but some times kids don't like every thing that you make them. Do you make salads for them? Vegan parfaits, protein pancakes and quinoa bowls. They might like that stuff too!
Was looking for the ideas for my own lunch rather than a kid >.
+Kayleigh You'll get some very soon. :D
Cool I'll sit tight so and be on the look out :)
+Kayleigh I would eat the kids lunch boxes anyway - they look so delicious ;)
Thats what I meant! :) I wanted their lunches to make for myself rather than watching to make food for children! :)
I'd love to see a video comparing the sizes of our items available in the US to other countries. all of the Pita bread I have ever seen here is at least four times that size.
You too are so cute haha
Great ideas
Hi guys, I have 2 sons- twins 4 years old :-) you're great 👍👍👍
+Eva Borosova Oh really? That's amazing! We recently took part in a twin study so we're even more interested in twins than before now that we know what kind of questions to ask. :D
+The Happy Pear :-) 👍It's just great to be one of the twins isn't it? Your best friend is always by your side. I love the way they're doing everything together
Almond butter stuffed dates are really great too, if you have a sweet tooth
Do you have any other ideas for dips except hummus or anything containing tahini?
+Anna Pi You can make nice salsa dips or guacamole. :D
+The Happy Pear Oh, well... I could have thought about that on my own! Thanks, guys! :) I'll definitely try that and I'm looking forward to the student lunch boxes!
you guys are champs :)
I had jam sandwiches for lunch everyday of primary school :L
What do you think of oils?? Do you suggest them. I know in the happy heart class you talk about oils. If so what oils do you choose??
+Healing Power Oils a calories without nutrition. Sometimes they're necessary but if they can be avoided as best you can it's much healthier. Some have more nutritional value than others two so they're always the best ones to reach for.
+The Happy Pear thank you for your response. would coconut oil be an empty nutrient oil? also, in your videos you seem to use oil for saute and such??
+Healing Power We try to use sunflower oil when frying things like garlic and ginger etc, and we use water where we can like frying off onions and tomatoes. Coconut oil has more nutrients than most oils and is slightly less calorie heavy too.
+The Happy Pear great thank you. i just have to say i love your channel,brand and enthusiasm. thank you for your videos!
Thank you so much. We're doing our best. :D
YO DUDES!! :-)
after a day or two of them kicking up and refusing to eat it...they will get hungry and eat it! people who say Oh theyl only eat chips...if that isn't an option they won't starve
you should mix the tahini with a water and lemon and some salt
i'm from israel and that's how we do it
thanks :)
+MyLifeAs Lena That sounds delicious!
your 4 yrs old gets hell of a lunch hahahhahhaha..that cracked me up
😂😂😂
guys you eat all the time but you are so fit, could you pleas do a video how to stay fit and active, thanks.
+Mahsa Torknejad We'd love to do that, we keep putting it on the long finger but we'll make sure to get it done soon. :D
This might be the first video I've seen without tamari :)
Kiwi allergy? Never heard of that one.
I'm allergic to kiwis and I always thought it was a really weird thing to be allergic to too! I've never met another person allergic to them haha
+Momma Maverick well met then.
+Jess Noack Schools are a lot more in tune with allergies than they were even 10 years ago.
Yeah for sure. Sounds like it's gotten a lot harder to pack lunches since I started primary school (~18 years ago) without including anything that could unintentionally cause harm. Only had a ban on peanuts back then!
tahini and molasses is even better
Yummy! Adopt me... :)
Just wondering, why do you eat honey as a vegan? Just wondering your reasons, no hate.
MikeyTake1 if i recall correctly i think they were only vegetarian at the time the video was made.
What is tahini
Thanx 😉
There kids probably trade this bird food in for real food at thier school like a piece of meat lol
I'd eat thoes
Sorry but not happening with my kids. all the nuts, tahini...the real problem with kids is that they see what the others have and they will not eat what they have.

If only we put that effort into other things haha
So weird that people can't eat peanuts in a school if there are some kids with allergies. They will not get sick by seeing peanuts, only by eating them.
+madamelicorne Some people's allergies are strong so even smelling nuts or having them in the air makes them sick.
+madamelicorne It's a better safe than sorry technique I guess. Prevention is better than the cure.
Woow I really didn't an allergy could be that bad. In the netherlands there are no rules like that at schools.
Some kids' allergies are that bad that they react to the smell of peanuts too :( and also can't forget kids are messy so if one kid has peanut butter ok their hands it can transfer to another kid/or objects in the class that everyone uses !
lunch is a social moment and sharing is always encouraged - best to make a "tradeable" lunch
Or you could give the kid real food like a ham or turkey breast sandwich kids need meat to grow they shouldn’t be forced to be vegan because the parents are dumb and vegan I’m not opposed to going vegetarian one or two nights a week but not 24/7 365
