Instagram: Bentolunchboxmums

Proud parents have taken to Instagram to share the incredible lunches they've made for their kid's first day back at school.

From boiled egg bunnies to lovingly carved star-shaped fruit, these parents have upped their lunch box game.

With many opting for Japanese-style Bento lunch boxes, these creations show that kids these days expect more than soggy sandwiches and a packet of chips.

To celebrate the kids being back at school, here's our pick of the top ten most creative lunch boxes from Instagram:

Back to school and I tried the School Lunchbox sushi sandwich - it was so easy! I feel like sushi sandwiches are going to be a regular thing this year. 🍇🥕🥒🍞#schoollunch #bentolunchboxmums #mymunchbox #schoollunchbox

Tuesday and today I have my Spring-Wich creation with roast chicken and cheese 🧀 on a nest of carrot 🥕 noodles. Swipe to the left to see how easy it is to create, they are easy to pick up and fun to eat but yet so simple! I also have kiwi fruit 🥝, preservative free and no nasties organic rice crackers, blueberries, grapes 🍇, mini tomatoes 🍅 and finally sliced pear 🍐. Total time to make was 10 min for two of these. I also made coffee at the same time too... peace out and high 5 yourself! #schoollunchbox #inspiredbygeorge #dadlife #stuckonyou #wholekids #bento #kidsbento #schoolbento #bentoinspo #loverules #ihopealfdoesntdieinhomeandaway #iforgotmylasthashtag

You need SUPERFOODS in your lunch which is why I partnered with @brummelandbrown organic buttery yogurt spread! It's a New Year and getting TONS of nutrient dense vitamins and minerals in your body will help everything from your energy to your mood. DIY trail-mix is a must for getting a major mid-day protein boost! This Avocado, Chickpea Sandwich with chia + hemp seeds, quinoa bread, tomatoes, kale + a slather of the buttery yogurt spread is a game changer! Kiwi, berries + pomegranate seeds are naturally sweet and if you've never had seaweed salad now is the time to do it. My kids go nuts for it! Here's a few nerdy food facts to give you the boost you may be craving: * Greek Yogurt- twice the protein content of regular yogurt * Quinoa-is a complete protein and has a lot of fiber * Blueberries-help improve memory * Kale-high in iron and fiber * Chia Seeds- omega 3s * Beets- vitamin C, fiber, and potassium * Beans-protein, fiber, and antioxidants * Pumpkin seeds- alpha and beta carotene * Hemp seeds-amino acids * Goji berries- vitamin C, vitamin B2, vitamin A * Dark Chocolate-contains flavonoids promoting good heart health * Almonds-tons of protein and healthy fats * Walnuts-omega's + heart healthy fiber * Flax seeds-full of plant-based omega 3s * Tomatoes-loaded with lycopene makes your skin look better * Chickpeas: vegetarian protein packed legume * Avocado-healthy fat that helps you absorb other nutrients * Blackberries-have more antioxidants than raspberries, blueberries, etc. #brummelandbrown *Tap the bio for more recipes!
