If your child isn't a sandwich fan (as I wasn't as a kid) you might have to get creative. Pack hummus and vegetables, cheese and crackers, cold veggie pizza or soup.2. Keep it Simple:
Don't try to get fancy or pretty with every lunch. A simple apple is better than individually packaged apple slices with fruit dip.
3. Remember Left-overs:
Last night's dinner often makes the best and most nutritious lunch. Pack up leftover pasta, pizza, salad, soup, or casserole. Add a little fruit or veggies and call it good.
If your child doesn't have a way to heat food, try heating in the morning and packing in an insulated container, or pack leftovers that serve up well cold like pizza and salad.5. Employ the Littlest Helpers:
Let you kids help you pack up their own lunch. They'll be more likely to eat it when they hit the cafeteria tables that way.
6. And of course...
Pack a Rainbow. Pack a red apple, some purple grape juice, some brown wheat bread and some green lettuce, to create a rainbow in your child's lunchbox. Have your kids help you pick the foods that will create their very own rainbow each day.
