Despite recent efforts to improve the health of school lunches, they are still falling short. Most families that I work with, give up on the school lunch and resort to packing it themselves.
Below is a basic framework that you and your children can use to build your own lunch.
Here is a list of lunch ideas:
Additional Suggestions:
- Drinks
- water or 1% or nonfat milk. Maybe you make a deal with your child that they can have juice 1x a week.
- Make sure the juice box is not more than 6 oz.
- Treats
- Agree to pack a dessert 1-2 days a week and limit it to 2 small cookies or a small pudding.
- Putting in a note or little toy/stickers is a great way to brighten their day :)
