Back to school means back to school lunches. I know I can get bored with the lunches I pack, and I’m certain my kids get bored eating them
1. Pack foods you know your kids will eat, not food you wish they would eat
2. Use a Bento style box so kids can spend their time eating and instead of unwrapping and opening packages.
3. Have a plan for school lunches
4. Think outside the box; homemade lunchable? Breakfast for lunch?
5. Get used to packing lunch overnight if you're not a morning person! Yes, after a long day and making dinner, it'll make your morning routine breeze by!
6. Get yourself a good set set of quality lunch packing products! Containers that don't close or warp in the dish washer or crack are a pain!
7. Follow your child's cues and communicate with them about their lunches. If they always eat grapes at home, but they never get eaten when you send them to school, there's bound to be a good reason why!
Try to include the following in your child's lunch each day:
- Protein
- Whole grain
- Fruit
- Veggie
- Healthy fat
- Water or other non-sugary drink
- Napkins or wet ones
- Something fun or sweet (this doesn't have to be every day!)
