Lunch box school lunch ideas

Lunch is always one of the ways we like to show our girls just how much we love them. When I was a kid one thing I always wanted was homemade lunches so I try to give that to my kids and find fun and exciting ways to make lunch fun and enjoyable. It’s always nice when lunch includes their favorite things and also leaves room for fun. My kids are busy at school and busy after school so I always try to make sure their lunches help fuel them through their day. They enjoy things like fresh fruit and apple sauce so I knew they’d love new DOLE Mixations®.

DOLE Mixations are a one-of-a-kind fruit fusion with a combination of smooth fruit sauces mixed with juicy chunks of real fruit. Plus they are non-GMO* and contain no high fructose corn syrup, no artificial flavors, are gluten free and rich in Vitamin C! DOLE Mixations are also mess-free with no splash or spill because the fruit is right in sauce.

The packaging is also designed to inspire creativity with lids you can customize with fun designs and personal messages, making DOLE Mixations the perfect lunchbox addition!

DOLE Mixations are available in four delicious varieties:

  • Apple-Strawberry Sauce with Dices of Apple
  • Pineapple-Mango Sauce with Pineapple Pieces
  • Peach-Apple Sauce with Pineapple Pieces
  • Apple-Raspberry Sauce with Dices of Apple

DOLE Mixations also has fun packaging which makes it the perfect lunchbox inspiration. We made some super cute ladybug inspired lunchbox with DOLE Mixations and a few simple craft supplies.
