Creating memorable mornings with an Easy Kids Charcuterie Lunchbox
Mornings in our household have taken on a new and exciting rhythm lately, all thanks to our creative journey into crafting kid-friendly bento lunch boxes for our little Cori. Crafting fun and nutritious lunchtime arrangements have become a treasured part of our morning routine, setting the stage for a cheerful day ahead. In this blog post, we'll guide you through one of Cori's favorite bento lunch boxes and share our delightful morning experiences.
The Joy of Bento Lunch Boxes
Before we dive into the contents of Cori's lunch box, let's take a moment to appreciate the beauty of bento-style lunch boxes. They are not just containers for food but canvases for artistic expression. With their segmented compartments and colorful designs, they make lunchtime an adventure, igniting a sense of wonder in kids and encouraging them to explore different foods.
The Charcuterie-Style Bento Lunch Box
Contents:
1. Mini Sliced Salami: We kick off Cori's lunch box with some mini sliced salami, which adds a touch of gourmet to her meal. It's a fun and flavorful source of protein that she absolutely adores.
2. Gardettos Snack Mix: Gardettos snack mix is a crunchy, savory delight that complements the salami perfectly. It adds an exciting element to the lunch box, making it an enjoyable surprise for Cori.
3. Pears and Apples: Fresh and juicy slices of pears and apples bring a refreshing balance to the ensemble. They are a healthy choice that adds natural sweetness to Cori's lunch. She requests apples in her lunchbox nearly every day!
4. Cucumbers with Greek Yogurt Ranch Dip: For a cool and creamy side, we include crisp cucumber slices paired with Greek yogurt ranch dip. It's a delightful combination that introduces a vegetable in a way that kids find irresistible. We create our own quick dip using Greek yogurt and Badia ranch seasoning.
5. Kinder Bueno Mini Chocolate Bite: Every lunch box deserves a little sweet treat, and one of Cori's favorites is the Kinder Bueno mini chocolate bite. It's just the right amount of indulgence for a balanced meal.
6. Cheese Stick: It's a charcuterie box so of course we need the cheese! We include a cheese stick, a reliable source of calcium and protein that she enjoys munching on.
7. Apple Juice: We pair this delicious meal with a serving of apple juice, which adds a fruity and hydrating touch.

Morning Multivitamin Routine:
Cori has recently transitioned to taking a liquid multivitamin each morning. It's a fantastic alternative to gummy vitamins, which she has decided are not for school mornings anymore, ha! This switch has made our mornings smoother and ensures she gets all the essential nutrients she needs to thrive.
