Back to School with MOMables 3-Month Menu Subscription GIVEAWAY - CLOSED

Pin It

Packing lunches for school can be time consuming and frustrating. I’m always thinking the night before, “What can I pack for my daughter’s lunch tomorrow?” and searching the kitchen for something she will eat. Many times I just pack whatever is most convenient, which often means it’s pre-packaged and processed (so not the healthiest).

I’ve been trying out MOMables, an online subscription service that offers busy parents ideas for fresh school lunches that can be made in 10 minutes or less.  All the menu items are simple and nutritious. The woman who started MOMables is a mom of 3 kids and worked with dozens of other moms, a chef and a nutritionist to create healthy lunch’s kids will actually eat.  

MOMables’ standard plan includes 5 school lunches, a prep-ahead sheet and a shopping list. It’s simple to use as all I did was download a menu (updated weekly by Friday morning), print out the information, shop for the items, and then follow the recipes. Here are some examples of what this week's menu includes:

I liked that each recipe includes a color photo and offers kid-sized portions. A big plus is that I can make most of the recipes ahead of time (usually at night when my daughter is asleep). The recipes use common ingredients, and of course there’s always the option to swap out anything your child does not like. The menus also encourage me to buy healthier food choices at the store not only for my child, but for the whole family.

MOMables says that parents can expect to save between $1-2 per day per lunch versus pre-packaged lunches, and I did see savings by making my own lunches.

Regarding prices, the MOMables subscription is an affordable service at about $0.22 per day. Here’s the breakdown of subscription options:

3 months: $18 ($6/month)

6 months: $33 ($5.50/month)

12 months: $60 ($5/month)

Parents interested in trying the program can sign up for a free week of menus to try it out. For more information, visit MOMables by clicking HERE.
