What easy lunches and snacks are saving you this summer?

Here are a few of mine

We’re only two weeks into summer, and already the kids are as tired of sandwiches as I am of my kitchen feeling like a 24/7 diner.

Anyone else?

Let’s build a summer snack survival list

With hungry kids home a lot more over the next couple of months, let’s crowdsource a list of go-to lunch and snack ideas—to make these long, summer days feel a little easier.

Think: things you can prep in 10 minutes or less, or make ahead and pull out when needed. Like these muffins!

Here are a few things our kids are loving:

• Muffin tin lunchables: A muffin tin filled with little bites like hard-boiled eggs, sliced cheese, fruit, cold cuts, cut veggies, hummus, crackers, pretzels, or sliced baguette. It feels easier than making sandwiches, and the kids love it.

• Peanut butter and honey wraps: Smear, drizzle, and fold. Serve with a cheese stick, fruit, or add sliced bananas for extra staying power. Simple, but always a hit!

• Banana lentil muffins: Sweetened only with bananas and chocolate chips, this is a favorite recipe from the blog that I’ve been making for years. I recently made a triple batch and popped the extras in the freezer. They’ve been a huge hit these past couple of weeks—great for camp snacks or a little treat before bed. Pro tip: Use canned lentils or cook a big batch in advance and freeze any leftovers in 1-cup portions for future use. Get the recipe here!
