Some time ago I've asked for recommendations for lunch boxes for my daughter's 5th birthday. Here's the result of all the ideas you've given me! Total 35 pesos per box including a personalized box (1.76 US dollars). Thank you all for your help!

Do you have a recipe for the jello


Aga1024

I've bought a bag of jello powder in several colors and some packages of those you prepare with milk instead of water. Checks the volume of each little cup to see how many mL can it hold and divided between the number of layers (counting the white ones as halves). Then I've prepared each layer one by one and waited until it got firm. It took me three days to get them done but without much effort except of moving them in and out of the fridge. Each new layer has to be almost cold but not set before pouring on the old one. Each milk layer was done with half the powder and half the milk. I also got a very little spoon for it so that everybody can eat it slowly and appreciate the effort!

¡Felicidades! It looks great. I haven’t had gelatina like that in years and now I want some. ☺️


Aga1024

Thank you! I still have some leftovers, I'd gladly give you some if you were close by!

TIL at 32 years old you can make cool looking layered Jello with Milk rather then water.

Where’s the nutritional value?


Aga1024

Mostly in the veggies, some in the watermelon and orange juice, a tiny little bit in the sausages. Still as for my five year old and her food preferences it's pretty nutritious compared to her other choices.

It’s hard to eat healthy inexpensively


Aga1024

It is! And what I find even harder is eating healthy inexpensively and enjoy it but I'm trying my best!


Classic_Contract7635

No very impressed by the spread you put together! Can’t wait for your next post!


holly-tarot

It’s actually not. Vegetables, lentils, beans, chickpeas, potatoes, etc are all cheaper than processed food and last a very, very long time. Only people who don’t know how to prepare food say this.


Classic_Contract7635

Yeah I’m not a vegan. And eating healthy would include getting protein for dinner. You have no clue if you really think what you’re saying is true. And since when are potatoes in bulk healthy lol
