My kids have been asking me to pack them Lunchables for school for awhile now. After looking at the ingredients (high fructose corn syrup, artificial flavors, preservatives, sodium nitrates, and more), I thought I could put together a healthier alternative. I decided to start with the Lunchables Pizza and it was SO EASY. I am mediocre in the kitchen, and time is always an issue, so something that is fast and easy is perfect for me!
First, I bought whole wheat One Bun bread from the local natural foods store. I was looking for whole wheat pitas and found this great option instead. I can also use this bread as hotdog buns and for paninis and soft tacos.
I cut one bread piece into four triangles to create the pizza “crust.”
I bought organic pizza cheese and placed it in a teddy bear silicone baking cup which is a cute way to separate items in the plastic containers. You can buy them in all shapes and colors.
Then I spooned all-natural pizza sauce into a small container.
My plan is to search for a divided container that will hold all three ingredients. Now that I’m really digging into healthy school lunch options for my kids, I want to stock up on the items that will make it easy and fun. I’ll keep you updated!
My kids are not fans of pepperoni, so I did not search for a healthy option to include. They do love veggies, so next time I plan to add organic black olives for my daughter’s pizza and organic red peppers and shredded carrots for my son’s pizza. I also included a Peter Rabbit fruit pouch with their water bottle and school lunch was ready to go!
Let me know if you have ever recreated a homemade “Lunchable” for your kids. Leave a comment below!
