Let’s face it; since peanut allergies emerged, our old stand-by has now become $10 and wishful thinking that the school is serving salad and fruit alongside the pizza and cheese sticks. Did our gusto for healthy lunches end two weeks after Labor Day? As we rush down the aisles at Trader Joes, we wonder how often we can slip Tasty Little Crackers into our kids’ lunches and have them think its vogue.
Need lunch ideas that won’t send your kids straight to the lunch bartering table in hopes of fruit roll-ups?
- Actual time for eating lunch at most schools only lasts for 15 to 20 minutes and is filled with distractions. Make sure the lunch foods you pack are easy to eat, packed in easily opened packages, and don’t require peeling or special tools.
- Small foods are not only easier for children to handle, but they are more fun to eat. Cut sandwiches into smaller pieces, use tiny tortillas for wraps and small sandwich buns, serve baby carrots and peel and cut fruit into smaller pieces to interest your child in the foods you pack.
- Salsa, hummus, bean dips, or fruit dips with baked chips and veggies or fruit are good lunchbox choices, since these foods contain more vitamins and fiber.
- If you make your own snack mixes, you can include healthy additions like dried fruits, unsalted nuts, pretzels, and baked crackers. Kids love to munch on something crunchy and sweet or savory.
Is your child falling behind in class? We will send an instructor to you to help decrease your child’s stress level and focus their energy constructively on the tasks at hand.
