Kids are notoriously picky, which can make coming up with new, healthy school lunches a constant chore, but the 'LaLa Lunchbox' app makes it easier by giving kids more power over their meal choices. The app helps families to plan lunches collaboratively, gamifying the process of choosing lunches for kids while making shopping easier for parents.
In the LaLa Lunchbox app, kids are tasked with feeding a hungry monster from a selection of food categories. Kids need to select two fruits, two vegetables, one protein, and one snack. Those choices then go to the parents' side of the app, where they can treat the options as a shopping list that they known has been pre-approved by their kids. It also has a library where families can save popular choices from each category.
