I’ve been making lunch boxes for years and years! This week, I did a big batch of baking that should last me about 3 weeks into the school term. I freeze it all in containers and then just take out what I need of a morning, add fresh fruit/vegetables/protein into the lunch box and it’s good to go. If you want to know more about my lunch box system, you can find it here or a big list of 100 lunch box ideas here.
What I made in this batch:
- Vegemite and cheese scrolls
- Apricot balls
- Date and chocolate balls
- Blueberry muffins
- Corn and cheese muffins
- Vegetable muffins
- Blueberry and coconut loaf
- Muesli bar
I had a look back at some of my posts on lunch boxes and am including all the images I could find in this post (for my own inspiration) as I head into a fresh new year.

January 23, 2016 at 7:44 amDo you find that all of these recipes defrost ok? I’ve found some of muffin / bread recipes are a bit soggy after they’ve been defrosted.

I find all of these freeze/defrost well. I think it can depend how you package them too. For example, if you put them in a plastic bag, I can imaging they might get a bit soggy. I put them straight in the lunch box with no packaging and it tends to work well. Hope that helps.

February 2, 2016 at 11:40 amCould you please tell me what round container you use for the yoghurts pictured in your lunch box? Are you happy with them? I’m finding it difficult to find a container which is small enough to fit in the bentobox.
Thanks,
Kimberley

February 3, 2016 at 2:05 pmThe round ones only just fit in my bentology lunch boxes. They are tupperware ones. I think it’s best to have a look at the brand your lunch box is because usually they have liquid tight containers that fit them. It’s tricky isn’t’ it! I also use the small rectangle containers that go in the bentology lunch boxes so they fit well. Hope that helps.

Wow – what an inspirational list of lunch ideas! Thank you! Just wondering whether you make your own yoghurt or buy store bought yoghurt and transfer it to a container?
Many thanks,
Rachel

February 5, 2016 at 10:25 amHi Rachel. I am yet to try and make my own yoghurt, but I’ve heard the thermomix version works wonderfully so I’m going to give that a go soon. At the moment, I buy large tubs and spoon it into containers.

February 9, 2016 at 7:29 amThanks Kelly – I haven’t tried it either – but I do have a thermomix – so one of these days I’ll give yoghurt a try!
Thanks again,
Rachel
