There’s not much more important to parents than the health and happiness of their children. So let’s dive into a few healthy lunchbox ideas that will make both parents and their kids very happy…
Fruit can not only be a healthy part of any lunchbox, but it is tasty too! Consider packing a snack-size Ziplock baggy full of sweet cherries, blueberries, red or green grapes or even dried fruit. Simpler yet, toss in an apple, banana or box of raisons. Vegetables, like baby carrots or sugar snap peas are a nice lunchbox addition too.
For the main course of your nutritious, delicious lunchbox, how about turkey and cheese roll-ups, yogurt and granola, a peanut butter and their favorite homemade jam sandwich or turn that sandwich into a wrap? You can make your own Lunchables too, with crackers, cheese slices, fruit chunks, sliced veggies and deli items.
Pretzels, baked chips or graham crackers can make great substitutes for regular potato chips…and don’t forget the juice box!
