It’s a new year –
let’s think outside the box for lunches this month!
Some kids are more likely to eat their lunch if they are given a variety of foods rather than the same old thing every day. Here are some ideas to get you thinking outside the lunch box.
- Wrap it up – fill a tortilla with meat, cheese, and veggies, add your favorite dressing.
- Fill a Thermos with soup or pasta
- Send pasta or lettuce salads
- Dip it – hummus with veggies or crackers, guacamole with chips, or ranch with veggies
- Leftovers – send last night’s dinner, chicken and pizza make a great lunch
- Different sandwich – put meat and cheese on a sub sandwich instead of bread or send something unusual like peanut butter and banana (use sunbutter for a nut-free option)
- Homemade lunchables – cheese, meat, and crackers
- Kabobs – fill skewers with grapes, tomatoes, cheese cubes, or meat
- Quesadillas – they are taste great cold too
- Breakfast for lunch
