    Mini Fruit Pizzas and Lunch Box Ideas for Horizon Organic | Simple to make, and your kids will love them!

    I have to say I was thrilled when I was asked to work on this project. Lunch Box Ideas, how cool is that.

    Then a bit of terror seeped in. My kids are older, 20 and 25 to be exact, so it's been quite some time since I've packed a lunch box for young kids.

    I love the new movement of fun lunch boxes for kids, putting a healthy spin on them to encourage kids to eat a little healthier. I also love bento boxes, the level of talent out there when it comes to bento art is fantastic.

    I decided to make mini food. Kids love mini food. Adults love mini food. Everyone loves mini food. So it just made sense to make mini food.

    If you want healthy products and ideas, you should zip over to Horizon Organic's Facebook Page for inspiration and recipe ideas. They also have amazing parenting tips. You can also follow them on Twitter and Pinterest.

    It's perfect timing for lunch box ideas with kids heading back to school soon. I wish pinterest had been around when my kids were young. The creativity out there is astounding. You can find some great inspiration for you kids' lunch box on Horizon Organic's Lunch Box Love Pinterest Board.

    In the meantime whip up some mini fruit pizzas for your kids. The possibilities for these are limitless.

    I am telling you there is nothing  more fun than playing with your food. I always found that letting my kids makes things like this where they get to choose the toppings goes a long way in helping them to make great food choices.

    It really tends to help with picky eaters. Giving them a little freedom to pick and choose what they want on their own pizza is going to get them excited about food, and eating fruit. You can also do this with veggies. I included mini veggie pizza buttons in my lunchbox. Recipe to be posted later this week.
