Lunch Box Idea: Peanut Butter and Banana Dogs

Banana Dog

It is August and that means back to school time is right around the corner.  My kids take there lunch everyday, and I am always hearing, “ Oh, PB&J again.”  Well,  How many lunchbox ideas are there.  I am here to help you figure out just how many.

Over the next few weeks I will be bringing you lunch box ideas.  We need to be creative and think of new fun ways to nourish our children.  Hopefully these ideas will help you pack your kids a more excited lunch box this year!

You can find all of my current and new lunchbox ideas on my new Lunch Box Recipes Page.

I found this recipe/idea on Pinterest when I was browsing the other day and couldn’t pass it up!  These are so stinking cute!

Elvis was famous for his peanut butter and banana sandwiches but I but he never ate one like this!

Comments

  1. Thank you for the idea, so cute and fun. I just might giggle too. I am wondering, if packed in a lunch box, does the banana get brown and icky before the kids eat it?

  2. What a cute idea! My kids would all love this.
