I was asked to review the new Oscar Mayer Lunchables with my kids. These are a hot commodity at our house, with Lunchables being Jonas’ first item to beg for as soon as we hit supermarket aisles. They have been an occasional treat for us, since they don’t provide the kind of nutrition that I want for my children, and this can be a bit of a sore spot with my extremely persistent seven year old. Bearing this in mind, I was thrilled to be asked to review the newly redesigned, more health conscious Lunchables!

These new combos are much more balanced, and focus on incorporating whole grains and decreasing ingredients that don’t serve the body well. I like the water option especially. With my son not being able to tolerate red dye #40, I’m not thrilled that a Kool-aide single is included, but I love that he can simply not use it and still have a drink. I always had to pick through his old Lunchables (and anything else pre-packaged) to make sure everything was ok for him, and this makes that a lot easier.

Jonas loved the taste and package design of the new variety, and I think this is a treat we will be saying yes to more often.
