Make Your Own Lunchables and Feel Like the Coolest Kid in School

This article is written by a student writer from the Spoon University at Chapel Hill chapter.

Who doesn’t love Lunchables? It’s a box of goodness with filled everything that could ever make you happy (some of them even have smoothies in them!). But, unfortunately they’re getting a bit pricey at more than $2.00 for a small box, and they’re not-so-healthy either (why are there so many ingredients that I can’t pronounce?).

Step into your kitchen and make your favorite Lunchables yourself, with only a few ingredients (that you probably have in your dorm already). No cooking skills required.
