Hi guys! Or in this case probably mamas!

Continuing my bento box lunch ideas series and bringing you guys another roundup that even the pickiest of eaters will love. I pack lunch for my three year old daughter, Blakely, every weekday and have come to master what she likes and will eat!

If you follow me on my Instagram (@itscourtfit), you’ll recognize most of these lunch ideas as I post Blakely’s lunch to my stories multiple times a week. Some of her lunches will start to look very similar, but when you find what your toddler will eat you stick to it! Don’t fix what’s not broken, right? Of course, every child is different so feel free to change these boxes to incorporate foods your child loves and will eat. This is all for inspiration!

I also wanted to include something I haven’t done in my past two Bento LunchBox Ideas blog posts (if you missed those, you can find part 1 here and part 2 here): A Master Shopping List! Below you’ll find all the items I like to have on hand at the beginning of the week. From there, we just mix and match them to make a week of healthy, filling lunches.

Let’s get into it!
