Healthy Back to School Lunch Ideas
featured, to eat — By Trish on August 7, 2012 at 8:08 am
It’s that time again! Time for us to agonize over packing healthy, perfect lunches! To avoid sending little Junior to school with a Slim Jim and a fruit roll-up (not that there’s anything wrong with that, we all get busy….)
Read on for a few ideas!
Fruits of course, but here are a few twists on plain ole fruits:
- Frozen Grapes or a frozen banana
- Apple with organic peanut butter
- Berry salad- strawberries and blueberries
Low-fat Yogurt
String Cheese
Cottage cheese- with a fruit to top
Bite size is key! Pieces of apples, cubes of cheese, baby carrots, and cherry tomatoes are all small and easy.
DIY Trail Mix-sunflower seeds, peanuts, almonds, cheerios, raisins, and a few m&m’s… 
Roll-ups: turkey and Laughing Cow Swiss cheese or cucumber and Laughing Cow cheese
Almonds and shelled pistachios
Sunflower seeds
Pretzels
Air-Popped Popcorn
Rice Cakes
We also love mixing up our lunches with these fun ideas for “Kids Sushi.” What are some staples in your lunches?
