Easy Spiderman Lunch Idea | Spiderman Berries and Chobani

October 20, 2015 by Jenni 548 Comments

This post brought to you by Chobani. The content and opinions expressed below are that of Sweet Pennies From Heaven.

An easy Spiderman lunch idea, with Spiderman Berries and yogurt! www.sweetpenniesfromheaven.com Do you pack your kids lunch for school? This is a fun Spiderman themed lunch, complete with Spiderman Berries and yogurt. I seriously scan the cafeteria lunch menu that they send in little man’s backpack every month and I say to myself,

Nope.

Ha!

He won’t touch that with a ten-foot pole.

Bleck.

Eww.

Well even I wouldn’t eat THAT.

Seriously though. I’m not knockin’ the school cafeteria food. Some of it’s good eatin’ BUT little man’s a particularly picky eater, so we just pack lunch. Even then, there are days that he won’t eat some of it. I’ve learned that being a little creative in the lunch bag can really help. If your kiddos are Spiderman fans and love berries, then these Spiderman berries are for you — err, them! They’re really simple to make too!

Spiderman Berries

These Spiderman Berries are sooooo easy! Use either raspberries or strawberries mixed in with some blueberries. Melt a little white chocolate and dollop on Spidey eyes on the fresh raspberries using a fork. Then you can use black gel food coloring to trace the eyes, using a toothpick. Let the white chocolate dry before adding the black gel. The chocolate hardens pretty fast, if your berries are cold out of the fridge.

 

 

An easy Spiderman lunch idea, with Spiderman Berries and yogurt! www.sweetpenniesfromheaven.com Yogurt is full of protein and it pairs perfectly with berries – for breakfast, lunch or as a snack! I found these Chobani Kids® Pouches of yogurt with Spiderman on them! I love love love that these are made with REAL fruits and veggies. They don’t have anything artificial in them – no preservatives, artificial colors OR flavors at all! Chobani Kids® Pouches have less than 5% lactose, they’re gluten free and of course they have those healthy gut-friendly live active cultures and probiotics. All those healthy germy bacteria that our bellies need to work well.

 

 

An easy Spiderman lunch idea, with Spiderman Berries and yogurt! www.sweetpenniesfromheaven.com I worry that little man gets too much sugar in his diet though, because goodness knows the boy has a sweet tooth. He gets it honest…so do I. Chobani Kids® Pouches have 25% less sugar than other yogurts – AND 2X the protein compared to some other brands. We found them at Walmart in Strawberry, Grape and Vanilla & Chocolate Dust flavors.

Ohh, and if your kiddo isn’t a fan of Spiderman – they have them with Doc McStuffins on them too!!! Soooo stinkin’ cute – and healthy too so be on the lookout and grab some on your next grocery store trip! They also come in Chobani Kids® Tubes, and Chobani Tots® Pouches for the younger kiddos! Head over to Chobani Kids Savings to score a coupon!! Woot!

Pumpkin Pie Baked Oatmeal - Breakfast and Snack Idea, full of fiber and protein - http://sweetpenniesfromheaven.com

Pumpkin Pie Baked Oatmeal

I struggle with breakfast on most days, and folks…the struggle is real. I have to keep my fridge stocked with easy – yet HEALTHY options or else I reach for that snack cake in the cabinet. Yes. A snack cake at 7:30 am. Making things like this yummy make ahead pumpkin pie baked oatmeal, on a weekend, allows me to have a delish breakfast every day through the week. Sometimes I double the recipe, in case I have to share with these pesky people that live in my house. Sigh.

I am a creature of habit. I actually enjoy having the same things for breakfast every day. This pumpkin pie baked oatmeal is FULL of healthy goodness. Lots of fiber, protein and vitamins. Anytime that I can take a recipe and make it healthier by swapping ingredients with something like Yoplait yogurt, I’ll do it. Usually, that recipe turns out better!!

This isn’t only the perfect fall breakfast idea….but it’s the perfect mid-afternoon snack for me too. Something that gets me through, till dinner time.

yoplait-yogurt

On days that I don’t have something like oatmeal, I usually reach for a yogurt and a handful of granola or fruit, like pineapple and strawberries. My faves! Yoplait has a lot of varieties that we really like. The husband likes the regular, while I’m a big fan of the Greek yogurts. As for the kiddo, Gogurt is perfect for lunchbags or as an after school snack. He gets off the school but STARVING and wants to eat as soon as he walks through the door. We always stock up on our Yoplait at Walmart.

What is your favorite way to snack with Yoplait?
