Packing school lunch?

haleyandka

I pack my kids lunch for school but always seem to be putting the same foods in the bag every week. Anyone have any ideas.

Answer
You should pack them a healthy lunch with protein that is low in calories & fat.

So if you pack them a peanut butter sandwich use no more than 2 tablespoons because of the high fat content! And don't worry, 2 tablespoons is very filling! You could also use sugar-free jam to sweeten it up!

You could pack them a chicken breast or turkey sandwich as well, with fat-free mayo or mustard.

(Any sandwich you make them should be made with whole wheat bread!)

Also, pack them carrots, celery, or cucumbers with fat-free ranch dressing to dip them in OR send along an apple or banana. You could also make small baggies of pretzels (low-sodium, of course!) or baked chips.

Vegetarian school lunches?

At my school, we have no lunch system. I can either buy food out of the vending machine or brown bag, but all they offer that's vegetarian is microwaveable cheese pizza. We have microwaves available, so what are some options, either hot or cold, for lunch?

Answer
I fix a vegetarian lunch for my daughter in highschool every day. It's easy. Here's a website to give you some ideas

Think whole grain breads with various cheese, or cheese or bean spreads. You can also add dried tomatoes to cream cheese etc. Baggies of nuts, olives, sliced peppers, cucumbers & other veggies.

Pasta with additions which can be eaten either as a pasta salad or heated.

Hummus,. bean, or other dips which you can make yourself to go with pita chips or swedish crackers

Soups

Baked potato (previously baked and split) with cheese etc to put on it.

containers of yogurt, piece of fruit, granola bar

Fruit, cheese, bread & butter
