Rainbow Snack Box

Who doesn’t love a variety of delicious options for snack time? This rainbow snack box offers just that, and it’s so quick to assemble!

You can follow this recipe to a T, or use it as a blueprint and create your own rainbow- let me show you how.

Sliced bell pepper and carrots packed into a lunch container with oatmeal snack bites, diced hard-boiled egg, and apple.

Fruit & Veggie Snack Box

You get a little of everything in this snack idea: fresh veggies, crisp apples, protein from hard-boiled eggs, and a sweet but healthy treat of oatmeal raisin bites.

Want to use this idea for a healthy lunch? Good thinking! Add a dip like hummus or ranch to go with the veggies, a few slices of rolled deli turkey, and whole grain crackers- bam! You get even more variety AND a balanced lunch.

Having a compartmentalized lunch container comes in handy when you want to assemble multiple wet and dry ingredients under one lid. Check out a few of my favorite lunch container options to see which one works best for you.

What’s in this Rainbow Snack Box

In theory, you can create a rainbow snack box with all sorts of colorful ingredients, but this particular version includes:

  • Veggies: red bell pepper and carrots have a sweet-fresh flavor and vibrant color.
  • Fruit: use any of your favorite fruit like apples, oranges, pears, and berries.
  • Treat: pack this with snack bites or a granola bar cut into 1-inch cubes.
  • Protein: hard-boiled eggs or rolled deli cuts.

Preparing healthy lunches kids will love is easy when you have the right ideas! Want more? I’ve got them all!

How to Pack a Rainbow Snack Box for Lunch

Now, grab your ingredients, and let me show you how to assemble everything in the lunchbox:

  1. Prep
    Wash and slice the fruit and veggies.
  2. Wet ingredients together
    Add the veggies and fruit to the lunch box. Add the hard-boiled eggs to a separate compartment.
  3. Keep dry ingredients separate
    The snack bites can be packed into the same compartment as the veggies, but if you’re packing a granola bar or crackers, place them in their own compartment, so they don’t absorb any moisture.
  4. Prepare for shipment
    Close the lunch container and pack it into a lunch bag with an ice pack.
