School Lunch Smarts: All-Natural GoPicnic Meals a Healthy Alternative to Lunchables
We’re back to school already and, boy! are my kids glad. They’re not so hot on the homework and early mornings, but ever since discovering GoPicnic! MightyMunch Kids Meals they can’t wait to hop out of bed, shimmy over the to pantry, and pick out their favorite colorful lunch box. The boxed lunches are like Lunchables on mulitvitamins. They serve up ready-to-eat, healthy favorites (gluten-free, vegetarian, Halal, soy-free, egg-free, and kosher meals) packaged with a cool, click-into-place fork and a suprise tattoo. Even more surprisingly, the lunches are tremendously afforadable, about $3 per box. A price I’m happy to pay for all-natural foods…and a house full of kids who can’t wait to wake up in the morning and pack their school lunch. There are five different varieties to choose from (details below). I especially love GoPicnic!‘s dedication to good companies and good causes. They even offer their products for a clever twist on school fundraising, making this one school lunch that kids and parents can equally adore.

Elizabeth, blogger for SunButter commented on Aug 25 10 at 3:28 pmHi Brooke, Great post. As a SunButter blogger, I’m happy to see you discovered these lunch alternatives and are sharing the news. As a fellow mom, I’m thinking these will fit in the 3 backpacks at our house just fine when school starts next week.
Robyn commented on Oct 19 10 at 12:24 amI only see two Kids Meals listed on the Go Picnic site. This post isn’t that old – do you have any idea what might have happened? Thanks!
