My little one and her new "do" for school.
(She had 12 inches cut off her hair!)
We have just a few more days before school starts; and, one of my most dreaded tasks is packing the lunches. When I was growing up, a brown bag lunch was always a sandwich, chips, and fruit. But, my kids get so tired of the same old lunches that I try to vary it up a bit for them. So, if you are scratching your head wondering what to pack in a healthy school lunch, check out some of the things below that my kids enjoy.
Sandwich Alternatives
Pizza Rolls
Ham and Cheese Rolls
Corn Muffins
Pigs in a Blanket
Homemade Snacks
Wheat Crackers
Cinnamon Tortilla Chips
Granola Bars
No Bake Cookie Bars
Custom Trail Mixes
Nut Free Trail Mix
Cranberry Almond Delight Trail Mix
Christmas Crunch Trail Mix
Simple Real Food Choices
Fresh Fruit (bananas, apples, grapes, pears)
Baby Carrots
Cheese Sticks
Raisin Boxes
Unsweetened Applesauce Cups
Nuts (peanuts, almonds, cashews)
Dried Fruit (apricots, dates, bananas)
Vanilla Yogurt
I am looking forward to trying several new recipes in the next few weeks: a three ingredient granola bar recipe, homemade soft pretzels, and a healthy crispy treat recipe. I will definitely let you know how we like them. What do you pack in your kids lunches that they love?
