Struggling with untouched baon boxes? Here are tasty and nutritious recipes that kids actually enjoy — and eat every bite of!
Confession time: I’ve had days where my kids’ lunchboxes came back almost untouched! Kaya I started experimenting with baon recipes that are both healthy and kid-approved. These are tried and tested—baon that won’t make a u-turn back home.
1. Chicken Teriyaki Rice Bowl
Sweet-savory chicken strips glazed with teriyaki sauce, packed with rice and steamed broccoli. Kids love the sauce, and moms love the veggies sneaked in.
2. Spaghetti with Hidden Veggie Sauce
Blend carrots and bell peppers into your spaghetti sauce—trust me, the kids won’t even notice!
3. Mini BBQ Chicken Sandwiches
Shredded BBQ chicken inside pandesal buns, wrapped individually. Easy to eat and perfect for baon.
4. Veggie Lumpia
Carrots, cabbage, and tofu wrapped and fried. Crunchy, tasty, and healthy. Kids love dipping them in ketchup.
5. Fruit & Yogurt Cups
For merienda, I sometimes pack small cups of yogurt topped with sliced bananas, apples, or grapes. Sweet but healthy treat!
Mom Tip: Presentation is everything — use colorful picks, fun containers, or cut fruits into shapes. Kids eat with their eyes first!
