‘What would you like to see here?’
That’s the question I posed on the Facebook page a couple of weeks ago.
There were lots of requests like quick, healthy dinners and easy snacks but another popular ask was for lunch box snacks.
You know I’m big on making my own snacks so this one was popular with me too and I will try to share a ‘lunchbox snack’ every few weeks.
Now don’t think that lunchbox snacks are just for kids.
They will all be kid-friendly but just as good for us big kids.
Sorry I don’t have more photos of these apricot and coconut logs but I made them for bubba's party and completely forgot to take photos the day before.
Anyway, they were a hit with the kids and adults and although not all that visually appealing (you could coat them in coconut), they’re super tasty and pretty good for you too. Enjoy!
p.s. Our favourite place to get low-tox lunchboxes is Seed and Sprout.

I love your monkey fingers! What a lovely healthy snack for a kid's party. I often forget to take photos and only realise after the event xx

Last weekend would you believe I only took one photo of food the whole time? I totally forgot! Oh the horror!

These look yummy. I was thinking about you and Ollie the other day. I can't wait until he's old enough for a Bento box. You will amaze us. :)
