5 day lunchbox plan!

I've been "prepping" for sending a lunch with Evelyn everyday starting September 3rd. My biggest concerns being waist (things she wouldn't eat, or designing a plan that required purchasing several things and not using but one serving), cost, and ease for her care givers to serve it. Yesterday, my sweet sister-in-law, Rhonda, suggested that I make a 5 day plan and just reuse it every week! How smart is that! Each lunch for the week will be different but we will rotate the same lunches each week. Since Evelyn doesn't quite have enough teeth to eat some things, I decided to come up with things I know she can eat right now, then as time evolves I can make new menus.

Here's the first menu I've come up with. The last row is her afternoon snack. I'm open for suggestions and comments! As you can see I had to reuse Turkey Rollups (that's not bad!)

A few specifications on the things I'm packing:

Smoothies: I found these super cool  silicone molds and some great
smoothie recipes on a blog. They also have some tons of other great lunch ideas including some super healthy muffins that I might bake in mini muffin tins for breakfast! I think I'll just worry about lunches for now though!

Pouches: I previously posted the reusable pouches I've purchased and the great recipes I came up with. However, it looks like the company has posted some great new recipes on their fruit, veggie, and smoothie recipes on the website! I ordered my pouches from amazon.

The great thing about the smoothies and the pouches is that you can make up a bunch ahead of time and be good to go for the month! That's my plan!

Yogurt: Choboni Greek Yogurt Tubes (no high fructose corn syrup!)

PBJ Mini Waffles: I buy little frozen mini waffles and make 2 mini sandwiches using 4 waffles! Super easy!

Turkey Rollups: Turkey lunch meat rolled up with the string cheese

Chicken Squares: I just cube chicken breasts or sometimes even a rotisserie chicken from Costco and freeze them in snack baggies.

Turkey Patty Squares: I cook several turkey patties at a time, cube them up, and freeze them in snack baggies.

Hope this helps someone! I can't wait to see how this works, I feel like my stress level has gone down about this!
