A wormy lunch



The wonderful people from Fun To Eat Fruit send us a surprise package last week and my kids were so excited to get more fun apples in the mail!


They sent us two of their new designs (stay tuned for more fun to come) and today we packed lunch with a worm - literally.


We packed half a Granny Smith Fun to Eat Fruit apple with a cute worm design, Pirate Booty and a peanut butter sandwich with a gummy worm in our Easylunchboxes.


And the other half of the apple was packed for snack in our Lunchbot Trio with Somersault sunflower seed crackers and more Pirate Booty.

Quick Lunches




Time was not on my side this morning and we had to make lunches fast.
Everyone was helping and instead of the lunches I had planned we ended up with a quick Panda and a quick lamb lunch on the fly.


We packed CuteZCute Panda sandwiches for my 5th grader in our Easylunchboxes with sunflower seed crackers, carrots and celery with ranch dressing (in the panda cup) and popcorn. I also packed ice water and a frozen Chobani Blueberry tube (not pictured).


My second grader packed a half a Fun to Eat Fruit Apple, popcorn (can you see the peek-a-boo lamb?), a peanut butter sandwich with a sheep ring and a granola bar fence. He also has ice water and a frozen Chobani tube. We also added some extra love with a Lunchbox Love Card :)

My favorite Subscription Boxes: Part 2: Fun To Eat Fruit & {GiveAway}


Today we are featuring Fun To Eat Fruit in our Favorite Subscription Boxes Series and as a bonus you can win some delicious fruit delivered to your door step! Courtesy of Fun to Eat Fruit!

As I stated in Part 1 of our series, I love getting fresh healthy snacks delivered to my door that I can feel good about giving to my family. And freshly picked fruit is as healthy as it gets! Fun to eat Fruit is a family-owned business in New Hampshire dedicated to encouraging healthy eating habits for both kids and adults. They deliver delicious fruit all year long and you can see their fruit calendar HERE. They are not a subscription service you have to sign up for. You can just order fruit through their website as you please but I wanted to include them in this series because I love the idea of fresh fruit delivered to your door as a healthy snack - delivered in a box!

They generously sent me two tubes of apples to review.
Granny Smith apples with a clover motive and Red Delicious with a funny bean motive.



The apples were carefully packaged in tubes (which are eco-friendly! These are great for storing anything from paper clips to pens and coins or you can recycle them of course). 


Or you can store seasonal bento supplies in them like I did! I love reusing things and finding great storage solutions for all my cookie cutters and decorations!

But back to the apples! When I opened the tubes of apples the aroma escaping was amazing and the apples taste just the same - wonderfully delicious.


Plus, all the apples looked beautiful as well. They come pre-washed and ready to eat and all you have to do is store them in a cool place or the fridge in their tube. We had ours for 4 weeks and are just finishing up the last apple today and it tastes, looks and smells just as fresh as the one we ate the very first day!

You can buy 8 pieces of fruit - delivered in two tubes for $12 or up to 8 tubes with 32 pieces of fruit for $48 plus shipping and tax. A great addition to our snack rotation and the taste and freshness was superior to anything I am able to buy in stores in my area!


I love Granny Smith apples and these were so tart but also sweet enough for my kids to love them as well! We really loved their taste and they were gone fast!

We did have a chance to pack them for lunch of course and here are the lunches we made:

Aren't they just the perfect addition for lunch?



We also received juicy Red Delicious Apples and they were crunchy, juicy, sweet and had the fresh from the orchard taste we all love! Plus, the funny bean made my kids giggle!! At the end of the post you can win some delicious Fun To Eat Fruit to try yourself! 



Today's lunch includes half a Red Delicious Apple with Funny Bean motive that matched my "Spring into Spring" lunch perfectly! We also packed cheddar bunnies, a peanut "bunny" sandwich and some celery grass with carrot flower. One happy spring lunch!

Fun To Eat Fruit generously offered to send one of my readers a 16 piece prize pack containing 8 pears and 8 apples with fun motives! All inked images are edible (of course) FDA approved and kosher!

Good Luck!
Open to US residents only!
