Kristina you're an amazing individual and you are so giving! Someone helped you and now you've dedicated your life into helping others... my husband and I have been so sick with stomach issues. Now I'm telling everyone I know and love about you.
I've been a borderline vegan for about 3 months now, and because it's so difficult for me to find foods to eat being a 15 year old vegan, I often go back and forth and eat animal products every now and then. This video helps me out a TON and now I'm going to try my hardest to become fully raw! I'm so glad I've found your channel!!! Thank you for this amazing video!!!
These looks delicious! My 7-year old nephew does not eat meat, by choice. Like he says, "I was born this way!" He's so smart. He loves broccoli and carrots, but he can't live on that alone. Thanks for these ideas.
If you use a tiny bit of lemon juice on the fruit, it will hold up oxidization and stop it from browning through out the day :) Especially good for apples which brown so easily after cutting
This are super ideas for school lunch. I'm from germany and the cafeterias in our schools have only warmed-up meals for Lunch or some ready-to-eat-salad. This meals are better alternative way to make my school lunches than to cook my lunche the evening bevore. Thank you for this healthy ideas and inspiration. Now I'll pack more seasonal vegetables or fruits in my lunche boxes.
Great point Kim Everyone is aware that human inteligence developed because of cooked food right? The reason primates dont have large brains is because they cant chew enough in one day to absorb the caloric density to develop a brain. No I repeat No early Human society ever excisted on a majority raw or even vegan diet. I would not feed my child raw for at least 18 years give him or her the choice and feed them a rich nutritionally balanced Caloricly dense diet. Remember calories have only been demonized the last century.
***** chicken nuggets and chocolate milk? gross. I would have gotten sick by that mix. To each their own, I know several kids whose parents follow raw veganism and they are so beautiful and healthy. One of the is 13 year old gorgeous young boy.
CalWillCO I disagree with you. It is quite likely that when humans were having troubles finding enough food in the past, they needed to branch out and eat things like meats and cooked grains, etc., but now there is no shortage of food available to most of us, so we can be selective and pick the most nutrient dense foods available for our bodies. Obviously this person in the video has had no trouble developing a brain as she got a full ride scholarship to Vanderbilt university when she was younger and now she runs a successful co-op and youtube channel.
it's terrible that they do that to kids. my younger relatives can't even eat lunch at their school because they only have a few minutes. When i was a kid, we got a whole hour and i could eat all the fruit and veggies i wanted.
the most appealing thing about all these lunch box ideas is how colourful and abundant they are! thank you for the ideas kristina. looks like i'll be giving them a try!
My kids will love this. I will try it for sure. The sauce sounds amazing. Thank you for helping us keeping our kiddos health. I do agree that school lunches are junk and I never let my kids eat school lunches. Sending you towns of Hugzzzzz.
Raw carrots and broccoli are great, however people may need a dip to entice them to eat more than one. I would suggest maybe a raw sunflower or cashew "ranch" dip in a small container. There are diy recipes online.
Many of the commenters are looking at this and saying not enough greens. I think we are forgetting that this is only lunch. I personally am a raw vegan and I usually only eat fruit for lunch. Then when I get homr I eat a HUGE green salad. We need to start looking at the whole picture and not just one part. Like another person commented: this is way better than a sandwich and chips which children often eat for lunch as a part of the standard American diet which it isn't questioned!
The kids at my school say they eat healthy. While they are saying that, they're eating nachos, burgers, pizza, etc. Meanwhile, Im eating fruits and raw veggies right next to them
I took in rice salad to college the other day which had all sorts of things in including raisins and apple and cucumber & my friend was very confused as to why I had fruit in it & she called me weird...I just went 'Thanks!' because in the end, I'm eating healthy food & she wasn't. peace x
When I have children one day, I will definitely serve them this lunch! Amazing Kristina. If only the FDA would make this lunch a great guideline to follow
Must let you know that my 13 old year daughter is my biggest supporter through this challenge! She was her whole life very difficult through the food choices and I thought that she is going to hate my raw idea. But on contrary - she is taking the raw smoothie every day to school, she loved the raw apple pie and even taking raw lazanja or noodles in her lunch box! This is the best super extra bonus I could ever imagine! She loved this video, so I should give you two thumbs up, but she doesn't have her you tube channel yet, so I will just write it here So, thanks again Kristina, and be proud
Lovely! When we moved from New Zealand and lived in the USA I was shocked at the food on offer for school lunches. My Kids loved their home made lunches they took to school. LOVE UR lunches. YUM
So beautifull! Your videos and you aswell :D Colors, flowers and apparently delicious recipes :D And you look so happy and so beautiful that you really influence whoever is watching!
Thank you so much for this video. I was eating so well over the summer and once school started I just fell off. This will help me for sure. Thanks for the ideas.
I tried to get some shut eye this afternoon because I did not sleep well last night, but I couldn't. So I got out of bed feeling sick and depressed. Opened my laptop and checked my facebook. I saw your youtube link, clicked on it, and watched a couple of videos. I feel uplifted now, and inspired to continue to try to eat more raw foods because of you. Thank you!
I want to become a Raw vegan and I go to college taking lunch boxes with me. But I prefer some salty taste. Could you please make some salty recipes so that I can continue without craving the salty taste. Thanks xx
She has lot's of food recipies that I personally consider salty. She has burrito recipies, and pastas, which both seem satisfying for that craving, (Excuse my spelling please) I'm not FullyRaw, but I AM vegan, and her recipies help the cravings...ALOT
thank u for vids n wisdom!!!! i am 270lbs and few days ago i started raw food eating and for the 1st time in years or decades i felt a beautiful HAPPY RUSH OF ENERGY yestrday wheni tok my twin 12 yr old girls to the dog nature park to walk and i felt like a kd agin and i want to cry just from that one happy walk in prk, we laughd and shared moments, it was a blessing and to think it was from eating raw foods! im hopeful N looking 4wRD TO MORE LIVING! THX 4 POSTING THIS LIFE SAVING WISDOM!
Simple, great ideas just in time for back-to-school. Yes, my son gets a whole month off for winter break! I'll be making doubles, one lunch for him and one lunch for me!
my teacher I had in second class used to eat her kiwis like apples at lunch time and the whole class of 8 year olds always looked at her in disgust but she would just laugh at us :)
naminegirl21 Oh, my goodness. I just laughed so hard and I'm still laughing! I've never eaten kiwi with the skin, but I didn't think of it like hair. Now, I'm not so sure if I want to. haha. thanks for the laugh!
I do and don't worry he will In time I hated olives before and now I love them it just takes time for Kids to like a food even if it's takes years! He will begin to like something by his/her own.
I've never met a child who didn't like fruit. I've known a few who didn't like certain vegetables, like brussels sprouts or lima beans, but they would all eat an apple if it were given to them. Most of my younger relatives are the opposite, they have to be forced by their family members to eat meat or dairy.
My sons are 5 and 3 and both prefer fruit and raw veggies over pizza and hot dogs. They've had mcdonalds, and chicken nuggets and all of that however they love their veggies and fruit. It was all about what i consistently put in front of them.
In 12 and im vegan trying to go raw, I eat like this everyday and the perception of thinking that kids dont like what is green is a stereotype. Slowly incorporate some fruits and vegetables because if they dont like vegetables/fruit then they are going to freak when they see all of that goodness!
aurie costa You are amazing! I'm so proud of you for having so much wisdom and eating consciously at the age of 12... you are going to make a big impact in this world.
Ever since I have been eating more raw meals I have noticed such a difference in my mood and energy. Thank you so much for these videos!!! They are so colourful and the food looks so fresh!!!!! :-)
It's so funny how Americans call Kiwifruit "Kiwi". Here in New Zealand, since our national icon/animal is the cute little Kiwi Bird, we call ourselves Kiwi's. So every time I hear someone say they're going to eat a Kiwi, it takes me a moment to realise what they're actually saying. When I first watched this, I wasn't actually looking at the screen, I was writing, so when I heard that I had a "Hold on - what did she just say?" moment. Awkward... :P Anyways, great ideas. I will try them for my little brother when he gets back to school. And maybe I'll eat these too! They look good :)
This is absolutely mouth wateringly, amazingly, YUMMMM! I am 16 years old and have been a lfrv raw vegan for 6 months because I look up to the pioneers on youtube! You were my first ever video that was on the recommended side bar just by chance! I struggle with lunch because sometimes I get bored BUT NEVER AGAIN AFTER THIS VIDEO! hugs hugs SO MANY HUGS FOR YOU! Love you Kristina
This is things I pack for my girls daily. They refuse school lunches. We are a 80% vegan/20% paleo family so they know good food. Thankful for your co-op Kristina!!
Yes but a raw vegan diet is not at all healthy, it can have a it is very difficult to get the nutrients you need, especially iron, calcium, iodine, lysine, overall protein, the list goes on. The accesibility of the nutrients is also reduced because of all the fibre in the raw fruits and vegetables. The sheer amount of volume in this diet would also make it even more difficult for an anyone to get enough calories and nutrients, let alone a child. It is very irresponsible to promote this poor diet to anyone, especially parents and their kids. It would be much cheaper and infinitely healthier to eat a normal vegan diet implementing cooked foods and plenty of legumes nuts and seeds as well as grains and fresh produce (plus a b12 supplement and/or multivitamin) with some fortified plant milks, and mock meats or protein rich foods mixed in. Please do some of your own research using sources that are government or registered dietition approved and ask a doctor if you really feel the need to go raw.
I would love to see more videos like this one since I hardly ever am home to eat. I am always on the go and almost always have to eat in transit. This video is great!
People exaggerate the prices so much.. Yeah, only rich people can afford apples and bananas? No one is telling you to buy blueberries and raspberry, its only a small part of her IDEAS for lunch (aka you can add and remove to make it more affordable). Besides if you don't wanna spend that much on food, then don't.. and don't watch her videos just to spam the comment section with "its too expensive".. No, its too expensive for YOU, where YOU live, according to YOU. Where I live I just buy local greens, and its not expensive at all..
awesome ideas... My little one adores all raw fruits and veggies. Broccoli and cucumbers are her favorites. children are really easy to please that is if they are not pushed to eat the hotdog first. Thank you for wonderful ideas.
Im a freshman and I make my own lunch. Im vegetarian but have an interest in vegan meals. The issue is a lot of these meals dont save well... apples, bannanas, and avacodo turn brown. stuff get mushy, things get soggy and yeah. So any ideas??
any type of wrap is so easy to prepare at home! and you can put all of your favourite vegatables in it ! and if you dont want to eat any type of bread you can us big kale leefs instead :) i dont know if this made any sence haha but anyway :)
I had that problem in high school too. I ended up taking a cooler to school, one of those fairly big red and white ones you'd find at walmart or target. I put icepacks in it and I packed up chopped up apples with almond butter (I always cut the apples the morning of school, so they wouldn't turn too brown). I made a salad too and that saved well (put the dressing in a small container on the side so the lettuce won't get too soggy). I made sure I brought a few bananas too, I put the whole bananas in there so I wouldn't have to worry about them browning. Also, grapes are awesome for bringing to school. Pack some nuts and dried fruit too to keep you satiated. That sounds like a lot, but it will all fit in the cooler and it will be enough to keep you full for the time at school. Sure, I looked like a doof walking around high school with a big red cooler, but when people asked about it, I just said "This is what I need to stay eating healthy". And no one really bothered me about it after the first few days.
Julia Stuxberg I tried taking cut bananas to work yesterday and they all turned brown by lunchtime. Today I took them as is and they still turned brown. I would love to have mono meals for lunch at work. Which fruit would work best? From the time I pack them to lunchtime would be 5 hours. I live in India so please suggest some fruit which is locally available.
My children also take a big chunky strong and sturdy lunch box cooler to school. They can actually even sit on it and it keeps everything cool with lots of ice packs. Some other poor kids sit on the concrete and eat peanut butter sandwiches. It makes mine feel special.
I don't agree with the comment I posted anymore. I started eating raw foods until dinner (sorry K, not trying to support something diff on your channel) & I've realized eating only 1 or 2 bananas I will be starving just an hour later. It seems like a lot until you try it. You might get full off of 2 bananas but then you will be hungry again right after.
I am just starting a raw food lifestyle and was going to just be me with my son having the occasional meal but after seeing this he will be going raw with me. Thank you Kristina
Parents shouldn't be forcing their children to eat raw, they would more then likely go through their school days starving because there would never be enough time to eat all of that food.
SPRAY your fruit with lemon juice before putting them in the boxes so they don't turn brown :)
Thanks for the tip.
Kristina you're an amazing individual and you are so giving! Someone helped you and now you've dedicated your life into helping others... my husband and I have been so sick with stomach issues. Now I'm telling everyone I know and love about you.
it all looks yummy but I would prefer something more savoury or salty as opposed to something sweet for lunch
I've been a borderline vegan for about 3 months now, and because it's so difficult for me to find foods to eat being a 15 year old vegan, I often go back and forth and eat animal products every now and then. This video helps me out a TON and now I'm going to try my hardest to become fully raw! I'm so glad I've found your channel!!! Thank you for this amazing video!!!
Made these and I took them to school and loved them! I have the recipes to my friend and now we both eat fullyraw at school!
How brilliant is that!!!?
These looks delicious! My 7-year old nephew does not eat meat, by choice. Like he says, "I was born this way!" He's so smart. He loves broccoli and carrots, but he can't live on that alone. Thanks for these ideas.
It would be so cool if they had fully raw snack vending machines !
Or a fruit vending machine?
I'm with Ashley!! I'm making this for myself, thank you for always sharing your love and amazing recipes!!
If you use a tiny bit of lemon juice on the fruit, it will hold up oxidization and stop it from browning through out the day :) Especially good for apples which brown so easily after cutting

I can't imagine myself having any time to eat a meal this large when I was younger. In middle school and high school I had 20-25 minutes to eat lunch.
Marcie Draper i mean it takes more than 20 minutes if i don't want to get sick. don't know what i said to offend you though..

You should toss the bananas and apples in a little bit of lemon juice to slow down the oxidization.

Hi, I'm andrea and I'm a 15 year old vegan :))) I would love more videos like this for some tips for what to pack for school
Me too 😼
Yassss
Thank you so much for sharing. Fantastic ideas my kids will love these. So healthy
So much variety when you experiment with fruit and vegetables...never boring and sooo good for you.
Raw carrots and broccoli are great, however people may need a dip to entice them to eat more than one. I would suggest maybe a raw sunflower or cashew "ranch" dip in a small container. There are diy recipes online.
Now your pushen through girl, You are standing Tall amongst The Sick of society and cutting straight through. Love you Mi Lady!
Yay some great lunch ideas! Now I don't have to starve at lunch. Thanks Kristina
Thanks so much for these ideas! They look quite delicious! I will give them a try too!
Keep it simple.
Simple yet effective
Great ideas
The raw lunch ideas are amazing! for my kids and for the adults at home. We love them! Thank you Kristina

The kids at my school say they eat healthy. While they are saying that, they're eating nachos, burgers, pizza, etc. Meanwhile, Im eating fruits and raw veggies right next to them
Do they make fun of u lmao
Lol i did that before they made fun of me i didnt care i crunched on them fruits and veggies even harder".
I took in rice salad to college the other day which had all sorts of things in including raisins and apple and cucumber & my friend was very confused as to why I had fruit in it & she called me weird...I just went 'Thanks!' because in the end, I'm eating healthy food & she wasn't. peace x
When I have children one day, I will definitely serve them this lunch! Amazing Kristina. If only the FDA would make this lunch a great guideline to follow
The pink juice is the best yummy juice. I got a bottle at the last co-op and I don't like beets. But this juice is the bomb. Very very good
My favorite so far is the FullyRaw Tropic Box... Love mango, pineapple, kiwi, cucumber, grapes and dates... What a great mix!
Must let you know that my 13 old year daughter is my biggest supporter through this challenge!

Simple, great ideas just in time for back-to-school. Yes, my son gets a whole month off for winter break! I'll be making doubles, one lunch for him and one lunch for me!
my teacher I had in second class used to eat her kiwis like apples at lunch time and the whole class of 8 year olds always looked at her in disgust but she would just laugh at us :)
same thing with me! my mom is like "ew, ur eating hair!" 0_o
naminegirl21 eeeww and then one day I tried it out of curiosity and my tongue was bleeding for ages
naminegirl21 Oh, my goodness. I just laughed so hard and I'm still laughing! I've never eaten kiwi with the skin, but I didn't think of it like hair. Now, I'm not so sure if I want to. haha. thanks for the laugh!
So glad I found this channel. It makes me feel much less alone when it comes to my lifestyle and dietary habits. Thank you!
these lunches look amazing!!!!! i cant wait to make these for myself haha!
What I really like about this is that kids would love this!
if my kids opened up their lunch box and saw those recipes they would faint...what kid really eats this? i wish mine did
I do and don't worry he will
In time I hated olives before and now I love them it just takes time for Kids to like a food even if it's takes years! He will begin to like something by his/her own.
I've never met a child who didn't like fruit. I've known a few who didn't like certain vegetables, like brussels sprouts or lima beans, but they would all eat an apple if it were given to them.

You are amazing! I'm so proud of you for having so much wisdom and eating consciously at the age of 12... you are going to make a big impact in this world.
Ever since I have been eating more raw meals I have noticed such a difference in my mood and energy. Thank you so much for these videos!!! They are so colourful and the food looks so fresh!!!!! :-)
My school has no vegan/vegetarian menu so I have to make lunches everyday but this gave me loads of new ideas x
The tropic lunch box looks amazing.
It's so funny how Americans call Kiwifruit "Kiwi". Here in New Zealand, since our national icon/animal is the cute little Kiwi Bird, we call ourselves Kiwi's. So every time I hear someone say they're going to eat a Kiwi, it takes me a moment to realise what they're actually saying. When I first watched this, I wasn't actually looking at the screen, I was writing, so when I heard that I had a "Hold on - what did she just say?" moment. Awkward... :P Anyways, great ideas. I will try them for my little brother when he gets back to school. And maybe I'll eat these too! They look good :)
So I have gone out of order with my 21 day challenge recipes. Today I had fun today with a fullyraw lunchbox meal. Thanks for the encouragement.
I'm going fully raw today.
did u
Emptyodds Ⓥ Not anymore, I got so weak, especially being pregnant.
+Aisha Zee Be a vegan who meets their nutritional needs. And don't forget vitamin b12 supplement!
The lunchboxes and fruit look so pretty and pleasing to the eye. Plus it's eco-friendly. Wonderful. Thanks Kristina
could you please make another one please!!!!
Yes my grandson is picky but loves fruit so this is great Thank you! So much better than school lunches now! thank you!
Wow thats alot! And for a kid, wouldnt that be too much and a waste?
wow..i wasnt that creative but now i see how i can live raw and not feel bored
All my school has is MEAT
Thanks for this video so I can have ideas
I am a child
This is absolutely mouth wateringly, amazingly, YUMMMM! I am 16 years old and have been a lfrv raw vegan for 6 months because I look up to the pioneers on youtube! You were my first ever video that was on the recommended side bar just by chance! I struggle with lunch because sometimes I get bored BUT NEVER AGAIN AFTER THIS VIDEO! hugs hugs SO MANY HUGS FOR YOU! Love you Kristina
can you please do a savoury/vegetable one? i dont like eating fruit for lunch :(
second that
This is things I pack for my girls daily. They refuse school lunches. We are a 80% vegan/20% paleo family so they know good food. Thankful for your co-op Kristina!!
so you can eat the fuzzy skin on the kiwi? O.o thought you couldn't....
Yum these lunches look delicious and really filling! :)
do more school lunch idea
Yes, more lunch box ideas!!
Going to try this! after I have won the lottery.....
The tropic box set is my favourite
i can't bring any smoothies/juices to work cuz i work at the airport. i can't bring liquids past security!! D:
I'm looking ahead Kristina! These are really great ideas! Each one has tasty food choices for kids or for ME!!! Yeah! I love it!!
For all of you saying her food is expensive- imagine the medical bills from eating cheap crappy food. Yeah.
Yes but a raw vegan diet is not at all healthy, it can have a it is very difficult to get the nutrients you need, especially iron, calcium, iodine, lysine, overall protein, the list goes on. The accesibility of the nutrients is also reduced because of all the fibre in the raw fruits and vegetables. The sheer amount of volume in this diet would also make it even more difficult for an anyone to get enough calories and nutrients, let alone a child. It is very irresponsible to promote this poor diet to anyone, especially parents and their kids. It would be much cheaper and infinitely healthier to eat a normal vegan diet implementing cooked foods and plenty of legumes nuts and seeds as well as grains and fresh produce (plus a b12 supplement and/or multivitamin) with some fortified plant milks, and mock meats or protein rich foods mixed in. Please do some of your own research using sources that are government or registered dietition approved and ask a doctor if you really feel the need to go raw.
These all look so healthy, vibrant and delicious!
I tried going raw, but honestly they're not the cheapest diet...
I would love to see more videos like this one since I hardly ever am home to eat. I am always on the go and almost always have to eat in transit. This video is great!
Great video I just recommend that you DON'T keep the skinon the kiwi because it can hurt your tounge trust me I learned the hard way
some people don't care... I love the skin and i leave it there every single time
14th day.... Looking forward to using these ideas on a weekly basis...thanks so much!
People exaggerate the prices so much.. Yeah, only rich people can afford apples and bananas? No one is telling you to buy blueberries and raspberry, its only a small part of her IDEAS for lunch (aka you can add and remove to make it more affordable). Besides if you don't wanna spend that much on food, then don't.. and don't watch her videos just to spam the comment section with "its too expensive".. No, its too expensive for YOU, where YOU live, according to YOU. Where I live I just buy local greens, and its not expensive at all..
awesome ideas... My little one adores all raw fruits and veggies. Broccoli and cucumbers are her favorites. children are really easy to please that is if they are not pushed to eat the hotdog first. Thank you for wonderful ideas.
As a med school student I really wonder what's her type on the Bristol stool scale.
Maryanne Valleau
I would expect #5 to #6 with so much fructose. But maybe she's just lucky and takes it well.
My Daughter loves all those recipes and fruits especially the sweet bell peppers! thanks!!
will kids eat that?
Michelle Lee yes they will, unless they are not used to fruit at all in their diets, then it will seem odd at first
Great ideas! Apples, bananas, and other fruits can turn brown easily so it might be nice to squeeze a lemon or lime.
Im a freshman and I make my own lunch. Im vegetarian but have an interest in vegan meals. The issue is a lot of these meals dont save well... apples, bannanas, and avacodo turn brown. stuff get mushy, things get soggy and yeah. So any ideas??

I put icepacks in it and I packed up chopped up apples with almond butter (I always cut the apples the morning of school, so they wouldn't turn too brown). I made a salad too and that saved well (put the dressing in a small container on the side so the lettuce won't get too soggy). I made sure I brought a few bananas too, I put the whole bananas in there so I wouldn't have to worry about them browning. Also, grapes are awesome for bringing to school. Pack some nuts and dried fruit too to keep you satiated. That sounds like a lot, but it will all fit in the cooler and it will be enough to keep you full for the time at school. Sure, I looked like a doof walking around high school with a big red cooler, but when people asked about it, I just said "This is what I need to stay eating healthy". And no one really bothered me about it after the first few days.

I tried taking cut bananas to work yesterday and they all turned brown by lunchtime. Today I took them as is and they still turned brown. I would love to have mono meals for lunch at work. Which fruit would work best? From the time I pack them to lunchtime would be 5 hours. I live in India so please suggest some fruit which is locally available.
My children also take a big chunky strong and sturdy lunch box cooler to school. They can actually even sit on it and it keeps everything cool with lots of ice packs. Some other poor kids sit on the concrete and eat peanut butter sandwiches. It makes mine feel special.
This is awesome! I definitely plan on trying this out for work!! Thanks so much Kristina. Please post more!
I think your Husband makes you wear all those Bracelets so he can hear you coming. That way he has time to hide his un-healthy snacks
This is hilarious!!!!!!! I agree with you!
wait..is she married???
hahahahahahahaha a good one!!!!!!
LMAO!!! made my day
I so a gree
Definitely using all of these recipes for myself at work :) thanks Kristina!
I can't see anyone possibly eating this much. That's alottttt of food.
Obviously you'd adjust portion size to suit your requirements.
You burn up raw food much faster than processed foods. It looks like a lot but it's enough for a lunch serving,
I know what you mean! 3-4 bananas!? That's so much.
I don't agree with the comment I posted anymore. I started eating raw foods until dinner (sorry K, not trying to support something diff on your channel) & I've realized eating only 1 or 2 bananas I will be starving just an hour later. It seems like a lot until you try it. You might get full off of 2 bananas but then you will be hungry again right after.
just when I think you cant possibly do any more, than you already have, to help us all..... Thank you, AGAIN!!!!!!
Does anyone else think there's too much sugar in them...?
Nopes. Kids are way more active than adults. Some of them hyperactive even. They definitely need it.
Wow it's a whole new world!!! Thanks so much Kristina.
wow, these are not diabetic friendly. thank you for the almond butter idea though.
it's fruit. that's good for diabetes lol
I love this idea. Thanks for giving me another way to stay healthy especially for work. Thanks.
Being bullied for being vegan isn't nice at all for me :(
+Mia Krikorian nah I'm staying true to myself
Wtf is wrong with you. People should be able to be who they are without being bullied. You are a horrible person!
+LittleRubberSquare I GET BULLIED WHY
im sorry you get bullied good for you for staying true to yourself you are making this world a better place by being vegan and for just being here!
+LittleRubberSquare you are one of them wow thankyou ...
I am just starting a raw food lifestyle and was going to just be me with my son having the occasional meal but after seeing this he will be going raw with me. Thank you Kristina
Parents shouldn't be forcing their children to eat raw, they would more then likely go through their school days starving because there would never be enough time to eat all of that food.
Very convenient! Of course I'll use this idea all the time now.
Consuming a lot of healthy food does not mean healthy...
Windy Zheng what do you mean??
Colourful, crunchy, alive, healthy, ready-to-go-everywhere and even tasty :) Merci!
No kid is going to eat this food... You eat like a rabbit.
These recipes would be good to supplement a diet, but not to live on.
What do you know about it?
true that.
Thank you so much! I am a vegan, and am now inspired to eat more raw foods because of you!
By doing this lunches to my little one, makes me feel better!!! Thank you Kristina!
great idea for me and my daughter! I prefer glass containers, but my daughter really has fun with the colored boxes!
Absolutely! The more nutrients the better! :)
Love this! I usually pack a variation of the first box for my lunch!
I made the banana butter pack and everyone wanted a piece! Absolutely delicious thank you xxx
Thank you Kristina for these tips! Always a such of good ones!
