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.

All Dressed Up

* 1 cup bow-tie pasta salad with veggies
* 1 cup baby greens salad with 2 tablespoons low-fat dressing
* 3/4 cup watermelon
* 2 fig cookies

Apparantly my children have been raised totally wrong. I can't find anything they will eat for snacks (healthy wise) Yeah they will eat fruit but vegetables is impossible. They are 8 and 4. I could send the above meal to school and it would come back minus the watermelon. Only a starving child with it. Can't think of anything else to try. Hopeless! Any ideas?

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.

Where could I find the storage for the food? I love the individual containers.
