[quote=Anonymous]Snacks and packed lunches can be the hardest. A few things we did:

- set an area in the pantry with clear containers of nuts, seeds, dried fruits so we can make our own little mixed bowls. If there is a favored combination, make one container of that so it's easy to grab. Helps to have small lidded containers so you can throw these into the lunch box. Sometimes I add chocolate chips.
- pick a day to chop fresh veggies and store them, so it is just as easy to grab carrots and hummus as it would have been to grab chips and dip.
- get bento style boxes for lunch so you can easily pack nuts in one, cut veggies in another, cheese and chunks of chicken in anther, hummus or PB or guacamole in another, etc. Think of lunch as a salad bar or hors d'oeuvres board instead of a sandwich shop.
- get used to buying fresh bread in smaller quantities more often.
- make jars of overnight oats or yogurt parfaits one day a week and store them in the fridge so it's easy to grab. 
- always have hard boiled eggs available in the fridge.
- learn to love avocado toast - so many things to top it with.[/quote]
