Easy lunch ideas to help kids and families pack a healthy lunchbox.

Featured in The New York Times, Parents, The Washington Post and Mashable!

If packing school lunch is a chore, LaLa Lunchbox is the solution! LaLa Lunchbox is the best-selling meal planning app for families and the only one that involves kids in the process of choosing their foods. The app makes lunch planning and packing easier and helps families save time and money. Kids set up virtual lunchboxes and select meals for the week ahead by feeding a hungry monster from a completely customizable Food Library of healthy options. Kids' choices become a handy grocery list for parents.

No more "what's for lunch" arguments in the morning or uneaten, wasted food at the end of the day. The app teaches children and their families about packing a better lunch, helps kids get out of a picky eating rut, and syncs with multiple devices. Add or remove foods at any time to control what is available for kids to choose. Our new dietary specific food bundles (nut free, gluten free, dairy free, vegetarian and kosher) are curated by a dietitian and designed to provide lunch packing inspiration for a variety of lifestyles and eating habits.

User Reviews

Overall, LaLa Lunchbox is praised for being easy to use, its helpful grocery list, and how it engages kids in meal planning with customization options. Users repeatedly note time savings and the ability to tailor lists with photos. However, several reviews point to stability issues (crashes, unresponsive buttons) and unreliable syncing across devices, plus gaps in customization (inability to delete/edit lunchboxes, missing items like drinks). Despite drawbacks, it remains a valuable collaborative lunch-planning tool when functioning smoothly.
Pros
  • Easy to use and intuitive design.
  • Grocery list feature is very helpful for planning and shopping.
  • Kids enjoy selecting their lunches and are more engaged with meal planning.
  • Highly customizable: you can add your own food items with pictures and tailor lists.
  • Saves time in the morning by streamlining lunch planning.
Cons
  • Frequent crashes and stability issues (app won’t open, unresponsive buttons).
  • Inconsistent cross-device syncing (changes don’t always propagate to other devices).
  • Limited customization options in some cases (can't delete or edit lunchboxes; difficulty adding own items).
  • Missing features and items (no drinks option; desire for more items to choose from).
Recent reviews
For some reason, all carbohydrates are under the “protein” category. Pasta is not a protein. There should be at least be an option to customize the labels.
