She bought the meat from Woolworths, which cost close to R200. Mputi sliced the sirloin and placed it in her daughter’s lunchbox.

The mom also made mashed potatoes, carrots, cucumbers, strawberries, and blueberries for the main lunch. She made a cheese and ham snack, which she placed in a different container.

Mphuti popped a sweet note for her daughter in her lunch bag to remind her to have a good day. Her lifestyle wowed many people who decided to follow her on TikTok because they loved her content.

The mom of two often plans lunch dates with her children and makes a lot of people want to start a family by studying her gentle parenting style online. She captioned her now-viral post:

“Here’s what I made for my daughter’s lunch today.”

“I immediately thought of my son, he loves steak so much. I think he’ll be so happy to have this as his lunch.”

@Q said:

“That's like dinner for lunch. Yoh, guys, a healthy meal doesn’t have to be boring. Kids want sandwiches, pies, pizza, or Sunday kos at least.”

@Lady_Enkay wondered:

“Sis, don’t you have space for more kids (me)?”

@Thato.🫧confessed:

“I’m not a morning person, so I know that blueberry could’ve fallen into the mashed potatoes.”

@Tanya said:

“If I had lunch like this when I went to school, I would probably be a scientist or astronaut.”

@anzelleeee asked:

“Can you adopt me? I'm 27 and potty trained.”

@Tidimalo 🇿🇦 commented:

“The only content that pushes us to study hard so that we can live a soft life.”

@Tiisetso_lekena shared:

“I’d eat my lunch box before school starts.”

@Lilitha Ndamase hilariously said:

“I just know her teacher isn’t too happy about the upcoming school holidays.”

@Ilke Anecia commented:

“And here I have a sandwich and Drink-O-Pop in a bottle that was always leaking.”
