It’s been over a month now since our kids are back to school. While they have finally settled in and adjusted back to their daily routines, we, as parents, have never-ending chores. Aside from keeping the home tidy and our 9-5 jobs, we have the responsibility of keeping our children’s stomachs full with nutritious food. Whether in school or at home, we want them to eat healthy snacks so that their studies and growth won’t be interrupted.
Keeping our kids’ meals exciting and nutritious is an exhausting task for us as parents. Kids can be picky at times, especially with what they eat. There are quite a few reasons why our kids may not eat or finish what we prepared for them. It’s not that they don’t like them, but it can be because it’s not appetizing, stored properly, or readily available.
Organizing And Storing Food Properly
Organizing and storing food is actually not a hard task to do. It can be simple and easy with the right food storage and containers to use. You don’t have to spend a lot of time and money doing this. What you have to do is find the right storage.
In this blog, we will share with you some ideas that will help you store and organize food. They come in handy not just for our kids’ food and snacks but for the adults in the home too.
Idesign Clear Bins
Idesign clear bins for snack storage of granola bars, almond butter packets at $14.99. Take the snacks out of the boxes they come in, so you don’t get tricked into thinking you still have a full box—you can see how many are left and the kids can grab themselves.
Rubbermaid Brilliance .5 cup
These snack-size clear containers—cut up the fresh fruits, and veggies and stack them in the fridge—kids can see them and they are ready to go for snacks or lunches, on the way to soccer practice, etc. It’s priced at only $8.99 for 2!
Rubbermaid Brilliance Medium
This is perfect for making lunches ahead. You make a few salads, all at once for the family, then put them in the fridge to take to work for lunch or even dinner on a busy weeknight. Isn’t that a great way to store your food?
These are some of the perfect food storage, containers, and organizers to put leftovers in too. Just put leftovers in the same spot so you are on the lookout for them and don’t have to dig behind other food. Having clear containers means you can see what you have and less goes to waste. Stackable, rectangular shapes help maximize your food storage.
Having healthy food and snacks ready ahead of time means less stress and because you have food ready to go, you’re less likely to head to eat fast food and will save money by eating at home.
