Name: insulated containers for cold food

Insulated containers aren’t just for hot foods like soups and pasta. One of the easiest and most nutritious lunch items for kids to put together themselves is a yogurt parfait. 

You probably have everything you need on hand. Just pull out the yogurt, some fruit, nuts, granola, coconut flakes - the sky’s the limit!  You provide the options then let your kid go to town. Top with a drizzle of honey, maybe even a sprig of mint for fun, and you’re sure to see an empty container at the end of the day.
