I’ve partnered with Brother to bring you this blog post. As always, thank you for supporting CNC! 

I’m ALL about snack boxes lately because they make healthy eating EASY. I love snacks, but I often find myself mindlessly reaching for whatever I’m craving at the moment. Sure, there’s nothing wrong with giving into cravings from time-to-time, but I’d end up diving into a box of cereal and basically eating my way out.

Now that we’ve started putting together snack boxes at the beginning of the week, my snack habits have been much more on point. With a snack box, waiting in the fridge, perfectly labeled and ready to go, I always have a nutritious and well-balanced option available to me. I can’t even explain how much these little boxes have improved my eating habits in recent weeks, so I wanted to share some of my favorite combos and how to put them together for the best ever grab-and-go snack!

Once I get all of my snack boxes organized, it’s time to label them! I like using the Brother P-Touch Label Maker to help me easily organize the contents of our refrigerator– making it easier and faster to find things when you need them. I love being able to just grab and go! The labels also prevent Mal from taking my snack boxes for lunch, which has definitely happened on more than one occasion. Now there’s no confusion about which containers are leftovers for lunch versus snack boxes!

The labels are also great because they’re super durable. They’re water-resistant, temperature-resistant, and fade-resistant, which means they go from the fridge to the dishwasher and back again without any issues. It’s a huge time-saver because I’m not re-making labels, and I can reuse the containers again and again. Related: These labels are perfect for drawing attention to food allergies/dietary restrictions, like if you’re labeling cookies for school, and they contain nuts, gluten, etc.

The Brother P-Touch Label Maker is really cool because you can totally customize your labels. It give you the choice of 14 fonts, 97 frames, and more than 600 symbols. AND there’s a variety of colors, sizes, and types of TZe tape sure to match your needs. It’s so easy to add your own personal touch to items for yourself or others.
