Make sure fruits and vegetables are as easy to eat as possible. Packing an entire orange or apple will probably end up back at home. Your kids aren’t going to peel an orange during their lunch break and a whole apple won’t entice them.

Cutting up fruits and vegetables (like strawberries, apples, watermelon, celery, cucumber and peppers) in bite size pieces, makes it ready to eat and will give your child the time and ease to eat.
