ARE YOU FEELING LIKE...

  • making lunches is stressful
  • you want to make them healthy, but you’re also tired and strapped for time
  • you dread making lunches
  • you get in a rut, packing the same things every day, but don’t know how to get out of it
  • you don’t know what to send with them if they’re going to daycare or preschool

WITH THIS GUIDE...

Making lunches will no longer be a huge pain in the butt. (Read this out loud so your 2 year old can laugh when you say “butt.”)

You’ll have clarity on what to include in each lunch, and how to do it without the guilt and stress. 

  • You’ll get an easy to follow plan, so making lunches will become thoughtless.
  • Shortcuts will help you streamline the process and make it way easier to deal with when you’re tired.

What moms are saying

Kacie has successfully turned my mountain into a molehill when it comes to planning for and packing lunches. I have 2 littles not yet going to school, but we have very busy days and having something prepped and ready is a lifesaver! I am a creature of habit and tend to eat the same things day in and day out, which was causing me to make my kids the same foods every day. This guide has helped me grow confidence that I can prep nutrient dense EASY meals for my toddler and baby that have variety! 15 minutes to a weeks worth of lunches? Sign me up!

Seriously, we Moms do a great job overthinking and overwhelming ourselves when it comes to feeding our kids. Thank you, Kacie for helping us stress less when it comes to feeding the kids, and especially on-the-go!

The guide has helped make school mornings a lot less stressful because I have a go-to list of each category of food to shop for, gran out of the fridge and pack. Feeling reassured that it’s okay for my children not to eat everything that I pack and lunches can look similar each day ease the mom guilt that I often feel. The pictures and diagrams take all the guesswork out of lunches. Kacie is so helpful, thoughtful and genuine with her ideas. I’m so thankful to have this resource for our family.

I ALWAYS trust and value Kacie’s judgment and suggestions on the nutrition of kids. This guide is something I will 100% use DAILY to ensure that I’m feeding my daughter optimal meals and ingredients to build her meals. I appreciate the time and effort into this to help out us Mommas out!!

I’ll admit that 2 out of 3 lunches for my kids were PB&J sandwiches and I felt stuck in a lunch-rut! This lunch guide gives some great and, above all, practical ideas to offer my two kids (4 and 2 years old) some more variety whilst maintaining a healthy balance in the foods I offer them. Kacie always knows how to make you feel comfortable about taking on new recipes or food presentation options. She has really given me a bit of a confidence boost by taking the stress out of food prep and giving the permission to walk away from those high expectations surrounding your kids food. This is the perfect guide for any busy mom who wants to feel good about what she is sending in her child’s lunchbox. The throw and go guide is especially helpful! With 2 picky eaters, this guide has given me great new ideas this school year that I know my kids will actually enjoy, bonus: they look really pretty, too!

This is amazing!! I love this guide because it reminds me I’m still a good mom without Pinterest lunches, and it gets me out of my rut with new (easy) ideas to add to the mix. I love your positivity and practical approach to eating! Thank you!

I love the lunch guide for SO many reasons. You make healthy eating seem approachable, you demystify it for us real mamas. You show us it doesn’t have to be beautiful or perfect to be nutritious! You take us step by step & encourage moms every step of the way. Thank you for being a real mom who encourages us real mamas!

FAQs about the guide

Yes. I completely redesigned the guide in August 2020 to adapt to the various situations we’re now in, whether that means your kids are home, or at school/daycare, and even if they’re no longer allowed to bring reusable items…(not sure why that has become a rule some places, but it has. Shrug.) I also added a budget-friendly section to help you find the least expensive healthy items at the store.

Yes, the guide is overflowing with nut-free solutions. 🙂  I share my favorite alternatives to peanut butter, and lots of sandwich-free ideas, too.

Ages 1 and up – they should be able to eat a variety of solid foods. But all the recommendations in the guide take into account the needs of toddlers – like avoiding choking hazards. Some parents ask me if this guide is helpful for older school age children, and the answer is yes! This would be a great way to get them more involved in packing their lunches, especially by using the “throw and go” sheet as a guide. 

Only if you want to. The majority of the ideas I suggest don’t involve any cooking, though you can use dinner leftovers in lunches, or cook something to serve a few times during the week for lunches. There’s a “Minimal Prep” section of the guide where I list some of my favorite lunch ideas for when you have the time & feel like cooking something.

I’ll cover that! The guide has ideas to help you whether or not you’re able to send an ice pack to keep things cool.
