Description
This is my first post under Lunch box ideas, starting with a simple sandwich which would suit both for breakfast and lunch.
Coming up with lunch box ideas for kids is the most challenging job.. as many schools don’t provide with microwaving facility. So… this category will be updated with many kids lunch box ideas (with and without re-heating), adult meal planning, thermal lunch kit, power lunches, lunch box product ideas and tips.
Sub Category Tags: Kids / Adults / Breakfast or lunch / Vegetarian / No Microwave / Simple Sandwich / No Re-heating / Lunch Box Idea 1
| Ingredients | |
|---|---|
| 1 slice | White bread |
| 4 slice | Carrots |
| 4 slice | Cucumber |
| 1 tbsp | Lettuce shredded |
| 1 slice | 2% singles cheese any variety |
| 1 dash | Pepper powder (optional) |
Instructions
Trim the crust off the bread and cut it diagonally making two triangles. Thinly slice carrots and cucumber. Cut one cheese single into two triangles and shred the lettuce. With one half of the bread as base, place the items in this order (1.half cheese, cucumber slices, carrot slices, shredded lettuce, sprinkle pepper powder, other half of the cheese and place the second bread slice on top. Gently press and place in the lunch box. Choose any one side to go along (apple sauce, laughing cow’s Swiss cheese pack, fruit cups or fresh fruit slices, pack of orange juice)
Notes
Yield: 1 Kid Serving
Lunch Box : Mickey Mouse Bento box with compartments. If you don’t have one, then place the sandwich in a ziplock and place in regular lunch kit, nice and snugly to avoid mess.
Bento Box : Available online Ebay / Amazon Store / Some retail chains / Oriental Stores

Jlakshmi, bought this box long back from ebay listings and its hard to find exact match as disney stuff change quite often. Here is a link for a similar one with curved corners though.

There are similar shape box under Amazon but they don't have disney characters, instead they sell Japanese hello kitty, totoro, pokemon etc. If you prefer to use Amazon, pls use our store to support us. Thanks.
Friends, If you don’t have like Ma’am’s lunch box better wrap the sandwich in the plastic wrap and put it in the lunch kit.
In that lunch kit, arrange with ur kids favorite cup of fruit, yogurt/juice, sandwich and ketchup..Evening bag will be empy i guess ???
Have a great day
Great Idea Mullai.
Thanks again.
wow…my kids are starting full time school in couple of weeks…..i was desperately looking for some lunch box ideas…….thank you for starting this..
Is it for me Mullai? labakkunu yeduthu saapidanum pola irukku…almost everyday i’m having this sandwich….but urs look colorful.
Kavi, unga kids bread ottikumnu complaint varum I guess. Got one solution for that, instead of toating white bread you can buy toasted bread (something similar to rusk ), it will be like biscuits, check the label for toasted bagel bites bread. Konjam expensive but good alternative. I will try to upload picture when I get it next time. Thanks.
Oh sure, will look for that bread next time….thanx for the information.
