episode 4 of my HABIT STACKING SERIES with @FreshDirect and this week's habit is all about lunch prep. because as a busy mom, I simply do not have time for those wild, intricate lunch boxes I see all over the internet, but I DO want my son's lunch to be healthy, fun, and exciting enough that he actually eats it. so here are my tricks: • order everything through FreshDirect - they pack and deliver so i'm not spending an hour at the grocery store. 🙌🏼 • repurpose the SAME groceries all week! same fruits, veggies, deli meats, and snacks, just presented differently each day. • turkey and cheese sandwiches cut two different ways (shape = excitement, apparently!). • mix it up with a wrap one day, skewers another, and a quesadilla to round out the week. • crinkle cut the carrots and cucumbers - NO extra effort, way more likely to actually get eaten. 🥕 #habitstacking #freshdirect #schoollunches #kidlunches #backtoschool
