Packing Lunch For a Pre-Teen

Fleur is a French working mom living in the Los Angeles area. She is packing lunch for her 12 year-old son and for herself. Packing two adult-size lunches every day requires organization and commitment. Fleur told us how she has been making it work for 3 years now!

It’s all about the food pattern

I pack lunch every day when getting back from work, right before diner. I pack both lunches at the same time and make small adjustments if one of us doesn’t like an ingredient. I pack exclusively cold lunches as they have no heating option at school.

For a smoother packing routine I stick to a basic framework.

Then, I make sure to rotate the ingredients, ie. different sort of breads, cheeses, seeds… On special occasions, I may pack a more fancy lunch, or use rice/maki instead of bread.

It’s an effort to pack lunch everyday but I feel it’s worth it if we want to eat healthy and simple food.

How Teuko helps her stay inspired

I like to browse the ideas from the community to get new ways to accommodate the ingredients I use the most. Teuko also helps me keep a useful record of some of the fancy lunches I make, or those that I feel are easy to reuse.
