Hello, friends! I’m so excited to be back with Season 2 of Messy Bites, and I’m kicking things off with my friend and fellow dietitian, Alex Turnbull, a.k.a. The Family Nutritionist.

We’re tackling one of parents’ biggest worries: the back-to-school lunchbox. If you’re tired of uneaten lunches coming home or stuck packing the same foods on repeat, you’re not alone. This episode is your ultimate survival guide to make school lunches easy, fun, and actually eaten.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• The #1 thing every parent needs to hear about feeding kids

• Why lunchboxes feel so hard (and how to fix it)

• A simple secret to get your child to eat their lunch

• The easy formula for a balanced, nourishing lunchbox

• Protein ideas beyond boring lunch meat

• How to handle cultural foods at school

• The #1 stressor you can completely skip

• A major myth about school lunches (and the truth!)

• How to get your kids involved in packing their own lunch

• The most important piece of advice for this school year

I hope this episode gives you more peace and less stress. Remember — you’re doing an amazing job. 💛
