If you want to save space but want to give some variety with your kids snack at school, you can use a plastic container (the one we use are the plastic containers you get when you buy deli meat)  and use cupcake liners to separate different type of food. Your kids will love these as they have more variety of snacks to munch on. Plus, you can sneak in a fruit or vegetable to have a more wholesome snack.

TIP:  If you put fruits or vegetables and you also have a cracker or chips, it is better to use a foil lined cupcake liners so that the condensation and the moisture from the fruits or vegetable will not make the chips or crackers soggy.

You don’t have to use 2-3 ziploc bags or stash your kids with processed snacks. Add variety and healthy food plus just using one or two containers, you will save space on your kid’s lunch box or bag. They will thank you for it.
