’tis the season for some Easy School Lunch Ideas. From fruits to veggies to grains to protein here is a go-to list for Easy School Lunch Ideas.
Easy School Lunch Ideas
- keep in mind what your child LIKES to eat
- offer a rainbow of colours
- rotate different lunches so kids don’t have to eat the same things everyday
- offer a choice of textures
- don’t load lunch with high-sugar foods
- invite kids to help make a lunch list
- separate foods with individual reusable containers or bento style boxes
- store food safely according to heat/cold
- use a thermos
- invite kids to go grocery shopping with you for lunch ingredients
- don’t send nuts to school (schools are nut-free zones!)
Alternatives to making lunch
- start a school lunch program in your school
- sign up for your school’s pizza day
- send last night’s dinner as today’s lunch (use a thermos)
- start a school lunch “carpool” where one parent makes lunch for all once a week
