Maia and Daniela, the founders of Yumbox, are two moms dedicated to developing healthy eating habits in children - the fun way! We just had to make Yumbox!
Inspiration came from the French school lunches served to Maia’s kids daily. The emphasis in France is on balance, variety, taste and nutrition. Yumbox was dreamed up to allow us all to replicate that same balance and nutrition for our kids, regardless of where we live. Now everyone (even kids) can pack a nutritionally balanced meal using Yumbox!
Still, building a meals-on-the-go box that would accommodate a variety of foods would need some fresh ideas. The founders wanted a box housing a bento-like tray, with one lid that sealed all compartments; designated food groups to encourage and assist parents in packing a balanced meal; built-in portion control; a cool design and illustrations to make this little box more of an adventure in good nutrition than just plain old lunch!
These thoughts were the seeds to creating Yumbox. Together they set out to take their vision of an ideal meals on-the-go box and make it a reality!
