31 Days School Lunchbox Ideas - Day 1

Welcome to the first day of our new 31 Days of School Lunchbox Ideas that we’ll be doing for the month of August!

I know how busy and intense the transition from lazy summer days at the pool to adjusting back to the 6:30 am wake up calls can be…so I thought I’d help out by sharing a different lunchbox idea each day this month.

What’s In Day 1’s Lunchbox?!

  • Peaches & Cream Baked Oatmeal
  • Horizon Organic Vanilla or Plain Yogurt
  • Blueberries
