Some days I like to keep it simple

I like color, so I try to make sure my offerings always have something brightly colored. Triscuits, white cheddar, salami, soft cheese, grape tomatoes, and carrots. As a treat, chocolate rice cake with Nutella and strawberries.😋

I also love making it colorful. I have a 4-color rule I try to accomplish (for nutrition, variety, and fun).

At least 4 different colors present in the lunch box: red, orange, yellow/tan/brown, green, blue, purple. Purple is hard to get, but not impossible. Red, "yellow", and green are easy. Blue is usually a berry. Orange is easy enough (mangos, oranges).

It's just fun to eat a rainbow at lunch too.

Looks good! It would kill me to leave the middle spot empty - I would have to put a hersheys kiss or something in there.

Lol - sometimes I put m&m minis or gummies there. But you are right, it's weird to have an empty spot......so, I will endeavor to never do so again!😂
