Meal Prep Lunch for 15 Month Old

What kinds of foods does she eat at home and will the in home care place heat foods or do they have to be cold or room temp?

largely depends on their goals. are they bulking or cutting?

Maybe cook extra of what y'all eat at night at home and send it the next day or the following day if you don't want her to repeat a meal for some reason. You could freeze some small servings of things y'all eat as well for future meals. Send some of her favorite fruits with the meals or those no sugar added fruit cups, perhaps.

So, if you buy a roasted chicken, you could freeze small servings of it so it only has to be warmed, for example.

We have to send lunch for my child who is that age.

From costco- the mixed veggies in the freezer aisle (corn/carrots/peas), the precooked chicken strips, aidells meatballs, stonyfield yogurt sticks,cheese sticks, and the Apple sauce pouches.

Also likes taco meat, mac and cheese, and pulled pork.

We send a bowl of protein with a side to heat up, and then two of either cheese, yogurt, applesauce, or fresh fruit.

We end up having to do food on the go for our one year old pretty often, and don't have a place to heat up food. We do a lot of lunchmeat or leftover protein like a roast chicken, cheese and some fresh fruit. If you get her some fruit that needs dicing (and most would need dicing at 15 mos I'd think) I'd go ahead and do that. The cheese sticks got to be a pain to keep on hand and weren't exactly cheap so we go to Sams and buy these; pretty cheap and they are easy to dice for a little one.

My wife is wary of feeding our daughter lunchmeat every day so we do try to rotate in some lower-sodium meats, but cheese and grapes or whatever fruit is in season works well for us and doesn't require much of anything from the adult in the way of cooking or prepping, which I'm sure they will appreciate.
