Pasta Perfection

Cut down on lunchtime prep by filling a bento box with leftovers of your child’s favorite pasta or pasta salad from the night before, a hard-boiled egg (or an alternate lean protein), and a Darling Clementine® for a burst of sweetness. This meal is well-rounded, delicious, and sure to keep your child fueled throughout the school day.

From the mini Greek yogurt parfait and bite-sized waffles to fresh Darling Clementine® and almond-raisin mix, this combination is just as wholesome as it is flavorful. Your kids will love the variety and you’ll love fueling them with well-balanced meals to energize their learning!
