Notes

Fresh Is Best: I feel like these are best made and eaten on the same day.
Nut-free sunbutter swap: If your school is nut-free, try using sunbutter or other seed butters instead of peanut butter.
The Veggie Box Trick: When I'm making lunches, pulling veggies from my veggie box is a real time saver.
Kids helping with prepped-ahead options: My kids like to help make these lunches with all of the prepped-ahead options so they get the exact stuff they like to eat!
