Easy Healthy Lunchbox Ideas + {Pineapple Chicken Salad}

You may remember I launched a new lunchbox series on the blog last month... remember... on the last day of school? Turns out these lunchbox meals are perfect for summer camp, or the park, or just to eat on a plate in your dining room too. Or you can pin them for August when the kiddos go back to school. 

Beautiful, Glorious Fruit!

I don't know about you, but when summertime rolls around, I love adding fruit to allllllllllllllll the things. Strawberries in creamsicles, watermelon in salsa, blueberries in breakfast parfaits, and pineapple in chicken salad. And isn't it nice that the organic fresh fruit is so much more affordable during these summer months?! The rest of the year, I honestly prefer to use frozen.

What's so special about this Silk Dairy-Free Yogurt Alternative?

  • IT PROVIDES 6 GRAMS OF PLANT-BASED PROTEIN PER SERVING.
  • IT HAS NO CHOLESTEROL, DAIRY, LACTOSE, GLUTEN, CARRAGEENAN OR CASEIN.
  • IT’S MADE WITH REAL FRUIT, WITHOUT ANY ARTIFICIAL FLAVORS OR COLORS.
  • AND THE TASTE? IT'S SUPRISINGLY CREAMY AND AMAZING!
  • IT IS EASY TO SUB INTO MY OTHER RECIPES THAT CALL FOR GREEK YOGURT! LIKE THIS ONE OR THIS ONE.

I love the balance of nutrients here. But, you know what I love even more? The fact that Babycakes couldn't keep her hands off of it! She loved (and devoured) literally every bite.
