The simplest and healthiest foods look extra-yummy when they're tucked inside colorful little compartments. That's the idea behind Laptop Lunches, the company that sells these cute plastic sets (starting at $21; laptoplunches.com). We filled the containers with a protein, some fruit, a vegetable, and a small treat -- all in perfect-size portions for kids 5 to 8.

* 3/4 cup watermelon
* 2 fig cookies
I love seeing all the healthy lunches you have provided. Although I try to make my kids lunches healthy, but after a while I run out of ideas. Thank you.

They dont have to eat all of it but putting it in front of them repeatedly is great. Having so many different healthy things to choose from at one time is much better than putting spinach with their chicken and telling them you have to eat it. Give them options.
