#28 - My Snackle Box Obsession Goes Next Level!

A Tidy Take with Megan McNamee, Author of Feeding Littles LunchesI’m a little obsessed with my snackle box. Every morning, I fill it so it’s ready for that post-school, everyone-is-HUUNNNGGRRRYYYY moment. Think of it like a snack survival kit: eight compartments, a lid, tucked neatly in the fridge. It’s our secret weapon against afternoon chaos. The only problem? I kept filling it with the same things… again, and again, and again.In this conversation, I chat with Megan McNamee about how to take this routine beyond the basics of fruits and veggies. We explore practical tips for creating balanced, appealing snacks that keep kids fueled through the afternoon slump, from adding proteins to pairing foods in smart ways. Megan shares insights from her book Feeding Littles Lunches, reminding parents that snack and lunch prep doesn’t have to be complicated, just simple, fun, and sustainable.Tidy Takeaways:* Pair fruits and veggies with filling proteins and carbohydrates* Use leftovers to creatively enhance snack options* Focus on practicality rather than Pinterest perfection👀 Follow Megan on IG: @feedinglittles📦 Check out Megan’s books: Feeding Littles and Beyond and Feeding Littles Lunches📚 Want more routine ideas?
