Easter Veggies & Bento Box Ideas

Need some new ways to get your kids to eat veggies? Read below for some Easter veggies and bento box ideas!

As you know, I’m a huge fan of different bento box meals for my kids. It makes meal time so much fun for them, and it’s easy to make holiday festive meals without much effort on my part! The best part of putting meals together like this is that I can sneak in good servings of veggies by using my favorite Garden Lites muffins! Yep, those egg-shaped chocolate and blueberry oat muffins? They’re delicious Garden Lites muffins that are made of 1/3 vegetables!

I couldn’t believe it when I first “taste-tested” them myself! The chocolate muffin is a household favorite! Zucchini is the main ingredient, but the flavor is so delicious. I don’t think my kids believe me when I tell them that they’re getting a good serving of vegetables with their chocolate muffin.

Easter is another big holiday around here so it was fun to put together this themed bento box. Even though it looks pretty fancy, it’s pretty easy for me to get a good, Pinterest-worthy kids’ meal together using our go-to bento box and small food cutters! I try to add in different fruits and sides and of course, our Garden Lites muffins, to mix up the food choices for the boys.

For this meal, I made a bunny-shaped jelly sandwich using a cheese slice for the bunny face. For their sides, I used blackberries and cherry tomatoes since they’re “egg shaped,” and cut out our Garden Lites muffins to look like Easter eggs, too!

I added a dollop of guacamole with carrots dipped into them and shaped the strawberries and grape slices to look like carrots, too. Needless to say, this bento box was a major hit with both of the boys (and their dad, too)!

Any tips on how to get kids to eat more veggies?

    These muffins are THE BOMB. They used to sell them at Costco which was awesome because our little one would eat two + a day. But they don’t sell them there anymore:( 🙁 🙁
