Kids School Lunches
It’s almost time for school to start again and time to make the kids school lunches. Children are notoriously picky about school lunches but don’t tear your hair out yet. There are good healthy foods choices that are delicious. It might take a little coaching on your part but kids will like it better and it’s healthier than a baloney sandwich and a bag of chips.
Making lunches can be a drag but you do want to pack a healthy midday meal. Your kids need brain food like fish, chicken, berries and spinach. Kids also need energy foods like whole-grain bread, cheese, peanut butter,yogurt, apple slices and raisins. And don’t forget milk for calcium. I know kids don’t want to see it their lunch boxes but smart moms have their own little ways.

Some good lunch combos are:
A slice of turkey wrapped around string cheese?
Make a pot of vegetable soup and fill the lunch thermos.
Tuna or chicken on whole wheat bread
A plastic container with carrots and apple slices, or celery and cucumbers.
A cheese sandwich with whole wheat bread and slip in a few leaves of spinach.
Berries or cut up a ripe peach in a cup of yogurt.
Or include slices of fruit or cherries for dipping in yogurt.
A pack of raisins.
A couple of fish sticks.
Lettuce and spinach salad with shredded chicken or turkey. Put the dressing in a separate container.
A peanut butter and sliced banana sandwich on whole wheat bread.
Oatmeal raisin cookie
Whole grain crackers
Homemade chicken nuggets
A slice of pizza with veggies

A carton of milk bought at school. Milk is better than sugary juice.

Thank you for these wonderful lunch ideas! Even now, it is easy to get into a rut where the same two, maybe three lunch ideas are prepared. It’s so much better when there are more options to choose from. It makes lunch much more enjoyable.
