So I just switched my 2 youngest kids to new schools and for various reasons they will need to bring home lunch. They are both very picky eaters. I work almost full time so obviously I come home exhausted and in their old schools they did have school lunch so I’m not used to this. I need practical tips from seasoned veteran working moms to streamline this process TIA!

Disclaimer: I haven’t done this since my kids are still babies but what I do for myself is have ready to eat things that are easy to grab and go.
Frozen healthy muffins
Hard boiled eggs
Yogurt pouches
Fresh fruit that they don’t need cut up

If they like PB and J you can make a bunch at once and freeze. Just make the whole loaf into sandwiches, wrap, and put back in the bread bag to freeze.

I put them already in individual sandwich bags and freeze
