School Lunch Just Got Easier (and Yummier!) with EatPakd!

By Sponsored March 11, 2017

Ask any parent of a school-aged child what one of the most dreaded tasks of each morning is and I guarantee you packing lunch will be at the top of their list! Between what the kid wants to eat (Cheetos), what you want them to eat (fruits and veggies) and what the school will allow (no nuts, no sweets), putting together a school lunch has turned into a pretty complicated job. Add to it that it's being done early in the morning when we 'd all rather still be in bed and yikes. No wonder most parents hate this task!

Enter EatPakd, a healthy and nutritious prepackaged lunch service that delivers wholesome school lunches to your door and ready to go in your Mac Kid's backpack! EatPakd sources organic, hormone-free, and GMO-free whenever possible. In addition, they limit or completely remove added sugar, sodium, and preservatives and make sure that all of their recipes are nut and tree-nut free. That covers what mom, dad and the school wants for lunch. But what about what your kiddo wants?

EatPakd has that covered as well. They've partnered with nutritionists to create recipes that kids love! The recipes are tasty and presented in creative ways to showcase the food to make it more fun and appealing, Have a picky eater on your hands? Or are there dietary restrictions? All Paks are customizable, so they can be mixed & matched for the perfect lunch for each child.

We recently started using EatPakd for our son's lunches and I am in love! By sending a Pak in his lunchbox, I know that my son is getting a yummy, nutritious lunch that he will actually eat. No more coming home with half his food still in the lunchbox. He's full and fueled for the rest of his school day!

And EatPakd is so easy! I literally take the Pak out of the fridge and put it in my son's backpack. Done! One morning last week, I was more tired than usual and forgot to pack my son's lunch. As we were headed out the door, it suddenly hit me - he didn't have a lunch! Yea for EatPakd, because all I had to do was grab the Pak out of the fridge and throw it in his backpack. Crisis averted and we weren't late for school!

Disclosure: I was comped a few weeks of EatPakd lunches to facilitate this review, but as always, all opinions are my own.
