It’s that time of year again and the kids are going back to school. Many parents struggle with what to pack in their child’s lunch. Here are a few healthy lunch ideas that hopefully will keep you and your little ones happy.
•Cold-cut roll ups (lean, low-fat turkey, ham, or roast beef with low-fat cheese on whole wheat tortillas)
•Single portion-sized cups of unsweetened applesauce or fruit without added sugar
•Trail mix made with cereals, nuts, pretzels, dried fruit or raisins, and a few chocolate morsels
•Low fat cheese spread on whole wheat crackers
•Veggie sticks with low-fat dip or dressing
•Baked chips or pretzels are a better choice than high-fat potato chips or cheese snacks
•Whole grain bagels topped with cream cheese-vegetable spread
•Air-popped popcorn flavored with a sprinkling of Parmesan cheese
•Low fat cheese cubes and seedless grapes make a delicious side dish for sandwiches or wraps
•Cold strips of grilled chicken with honey mustard dip
•Dried cranberries or cherries are a sweet alternative to raisins
•Cold pizza (shredded mozzarella cheese with pizza sauce on a flour tortilla, whole wheat pita, English muffin, or mini pizza shell)
