10 Vegan Kid Lunch Ideas with a PlanetBox

Now before we get started, one important aspect of making these vegan lunches pack a healthy and yummy punch is to stock up on lunch-friendly favorites when I go to the grocery store. So each week I load up first on fruits and veggies...


Then on gluten-free snacks like crackers, pretzels, and veggie chips.



These are must-haves for filling the cool trays of the PlanetBox.
