Equipment

  • small containers
  • bento box
  • knife

Method
 

Snack Box 1: Hummus & Veggie Dippers
  1. Divide hummus into small containers or sections of a bento box. Arrange celery and carrot sticks alongside the hummus for dipping.
Snack Box 2: Fruit & Yogurt Parfait
  1. Layer Greek yogurt, mixed berries, and granola in a small container or jar. You can keep the granola separate until serving to prevent it from getting soggy.
Snack Box 3: Apple Slices & Peanut Butter
  1. Slice the apple and place it in a container. Pack peanut butter in a separate small container for dipping, or spread it directly on apple slices if consumed shortly after prep.

Notes

Consider using reusable snack containers to reduce waste. For allergens, substitute peanut butter with almond butter or sunbutter, and use dairy-free yogurt if needed. Vary the fruits and vegetables based on seasonal availability and your child's preferences.
