As parents, we always have so many things to juggle, and food and nutrition is one of them. I feel like I’m always looking for something new for my kids' lunch boxes to give them more options. My kids are so picky, and I feel like I am always asking friends and family with kids what they pack in their kids' lunch boxes. I think there actually might be the same lunch prep questions asked every year right before school starts between a group of my mom friends. Maybe I should go look back at those text messages. 

Would you love to have milk as an option for your child’s lunch box? Are you a parent like me who is always looking for a grab-and-go snack that is nutritious and yummy for your kiddos and yourself? As a teacher, I am always looking for that go-to option. Just something quick in-between classes. If you're a working parent, this could be you too in-between meetings. I have found an amazing option that is busy parent and teacher approved. Welcome to Lunch Prep 101 with LALA® U.S.® drinkable smoothies and UHT Milks.

UHT Milk: Milk is a Staple in our Home

Milk is something that my kids request at every meal. I know that when students purchase lunch at school, there is the option to get milk on their tray. I want to provide that for my children in their lunch boxes. But how can I keep it cold? There is a shelf stable option with LALA® UHT Milks. I wasn’t sure how this could be possible. I learned that the way this milk is packaged and handled allows it to be shelf stable and safe. Time to add this to my lunch box prep when the texts start coming through.

My kids love these. They truly can’t get enough. Our family loves chocolate milk, so that is our LALAlicous favorite, but they also have strawberry too. It’s time to meet your kiddos lunch box best friend and stock up on easy lunch prep with LALA®.

On-the-GO Goodness with Drinkables

As much as my children love quick snacks, I have always been known to be a quick snack eater as well. Having a huge meal has never been something I get excited for. My husband and I are opposites there. He will tell you that I eat like a mouse at times. As a family we have all found a love for LALA® Drinkable Yogurts. My daughter loves these because she has never been a huge breakfast eater. This provides her with protein, probiotics, and real fruit to fuel her morning. They provide her mama with that too. 

In the morning when I am packing lunches, this is now something that I put in my side pocket. It's something quick that I can have during the school day or in the morning if I don't want a huge meal – and they taste great. The LALA Yogurt Smoothies come in flavors like strawberry, strawberry banana, mango, and piña colada. If you are someone who is looking for a quick on-the-go option packed with protein for you and your kiddos, I think you will love this as much as we do.

 We as parents are always juggling countless responsibilities, including packing nutritious and tasty lunches for picky eaters. I have taken one thing off your plate. One less text message you have to send to your parent friends about what to pack in your child's lunch box. Lunch Prep 101 with LALA drinkable smoothies and UHT Milks will be your game changer.
