Whatever recipe you choose, you'll find something awesome that will help you get ready for school lunches.
How do I freeze lunchbox snacks?
Generally speaking I freeze them on a tray until solid and then transfer to a bag or container.
How long can lunchbox snacks be frozen for?
Up to three months when they are in an airtight container.
How do you defrost lunchbox snacks?
Simple! Put them in the lunchbox. They will be ready and defrosted by lunchtime.
What other tips do you have about freezing snacks?
Label the snacks! With the name of the recipe and the date. We have previously had massaman beef spaghetti due to my poor labelling.
How do you keep lunchboxes cool?
With a good quality cooler bag and some ice bricks. We like the arctic zone ones from Mini Hippo.
Brandy says
I know this is a couple years old, but I am very new to meal planning. I'm hoping to use some of these for after daycare snacks. How would you recommend defrosting? Microwave on a defrost setting and just checking on them in 30 sec increments?
Kylie says
Which snack are you referring too? They mostly all have their own defrost/ reheat instructions! thanks!
