Healthy Packed Lunch Ideas: Which Yumbox is Right for You?

Yumbox Original

The tray is divided in five compartments representing each food group with fun illustrations as a reminder to pack and eat a variety of healthy foods. The dip or treat well is handy and probably everyone’s favorite compartment. Its leakproof design means that you can pack wet foods like yogurt and veggie dip.


In a recent study of preschoolers conducted by Rutgers University it was found that parents of children that used Yumbox packed healthier foods than those that did not. Multi-compartment trays are a great way to test out new foods with kids as well. Your picky eater might surprise you. Yumbox’s latch opens and closes easily for little ones. Once lunch is done, kids simply snap Yumbox shut. Parents can see what comes back so there’s no guesswork about your child’s nutritional intake for the day. Although, let’s face it, everything looks yummier in Yumbox so we can’t guarantee that their friends won’t try to dig in!
