Packing a lunch box that’s both fun and nutritious doesn’t have to be complicated! This unicorn-inspired lunch is a magical mix of color, creativity, and simple ingredients. Perfect for little hands and big appetites.

 

What’s Inside the Unicorn Lunch Box?

Fairy Bread Hundreds and Thousands

Fairy Bread Sandwiches – A childhood favorite with a whimsical twist! I made simple fairy bread sandwiches and cut a star-shaped window by hand (though a cookie cutter would work too). This little detail adds an extra bit of fun.


 

Rainbow Popcorn

Rainbow Popcorn – To bring in that unicorn magic, I added a big handful of colorful popcorn. It’s a fun way to brighten up the lunch box!

 

Red apple slices

White Chocolate-Dipped Apple Slices – A sweet little finishing touch! Crisp apple slices with a dip of white chocolate make for a delicious treat. Pro tip: To keep apple slices from browning, soak them in a bowl of salt water (½ teaspoon of salt per cup of water) for a few minutes, then rinse before packing. This keeps them fresh and looking great all day!

 

Celery & carrot sticks

Veggie Sticks – Some crunchy goodness to balance the sweetness! Carrot and celery sticks are easy to prep and always a hit.


 

Strawberries

Jam Roll-Ups – A nostalgic treat in my family! These are so easy: just spread strawberry jam on strips of bread, roll them up, and you're done. Simple, sweet, and delicious.

 

Blueberries

Blueberries – A handful of these adds a pop of color and a boost of antioxidants!

 

Adding Some Protein

To keep little tummies full and fueled for the day, consider adding a protein source like:

  • A yogurt pouch – Easy to pack and a great source of calcium and protein.
  • Cheese cubes or string cheese – A fun and tasty addition that pairs well with the veggies.
  • A boiled egg – Simple and packed with protein to keep energy levels up.

 

And just like that, this quick and easy unicorn lunch box is ready to go! It’s colorful, fun, and full of flavors kids love. Whether you’re packing for preschool or a special snack time, this one is sure to be a hit!
