Wait! I know what you are thinking. This lunch has cheese sandwiches in it. Yes, it does. It has two colors of American cheese in fact. What you can’t see is that under the bunnies are several pieces of pepperoni. Pepperoni isn’t my favorite source of protein, but it is one that he will eat in his lunch. Having some type of protein in the lunch was one of my healthy lunch ideas.
Cheese crackers are another popular lunch item for him to request. I did include a couple cheese crackers in a carrot shaped Easter egg in this lunch, but not many.
He made face while he at the carrots but, he did eat them. In fact he said they weren’t that bad.
Here are some more fun lunches and snacks filled with healthy lunch ideas:

When the farmers market starts back up pick up some carrots there. For some reason, when carrots are fresh from the garden, they are more tender and flavorful. He might enjoy them better. I don’t like to snack off carrots from the store, but I do love them from the garden!
The bunnies are so cute, I bought the carrot containers too.
That is sooooo stinkin cute!
I swear D, I find him just so positively entertaining and endearing!
Those are so cute! I think that if I started making cute shapes for my daughters lunches they would eat more healthy foods. Right now, they like to snub their noses up at anything different looking.
Oh those bunnies are so cute! My daughter would go nuts over them! I need to try that out!
I’ve got to get a bounding bunny cookie cutter! Adorable!! My daughter will only eat raw carrots if she dips them in ranch dressing. –Lisa
adorable! I love the bunny shapes! I so need to make more lunches like these for my 2 little ones!
It took 20 years for me to eat carrots!
I love how you think creatively to get JDaniel to eat well.
When I was in kindergarten (or first grade) I was insanely jealous of the girl across the street who always brought carrot sticks to school for her snack. It’s TRUE!
This is so cute! I’m glad to hear he liked it. I know my kids would too.

That is just too cute!! Zane loves carrots- I bet he would LOVE this!!!
Very creative! I love the way you incorporate little themes into your lunches..am sure it is paying off!
Glad he ate some carrots…mine have only recently just started eating them…so pleased!!
Those bunnies are adorable. My boys love raw carrots but refuse to eat cooked carrots. I’ll take what I can get.
Adorable!
If my kids could, they would eat cheese and bread every day and every meal!! Way to go on encouraging the carrot intake! 🙂
I want to eat those bunnies! 🙂
Good for you for keeping adding good foods even though he says he doesn’t eat them. The fact that he did eat some especially while at school is a very good sign.
You’ve got ME wanting one of those sandwiches! So cute and appealing.
=)
I love this! How fun and so healthy too!
