It’s that time of year again and the kids are going back to school. Many parents struggle with what to pack in their kid’s lunches. 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 apple sauce 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)
