Boo hoo! But the kids are crazy for them, so what’s a Smart Mom to do? Remember those really fun lunch kits when we were kids? Turns out they’re not so healthy because they’re super-processed. Enjoy!īanana Hot Dogs (Photo: Kathy Patalsky) / / More topping ideas? How about raisins, shredded coconut, granola, or chopped nuts (again, check for allergies)? Slice your “hotdogs” in half and add some veggie chips. Almond butter or Sun butter can be great alternatives to peanut butter if they are allowed in your child’s class. When using a nut butter, be sure to check your child’s school rules on food allergies. You can use berries instead of jelly for bonus fruit intake. So all you do is take a hot dog bun (whole wheat, grain-free, or sprouted bread works) and add a banana and toppings.
That’s why I was excited when I saw this one (click the link above) that you can adapt and make even healthier - and it’s fun! But sometimes you just need a little twist on the original. Trusty ol’ stand-by, you’ve been good to me and my picky eaters. One of my kids’ favorite lunches is a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. With or without bread, this is an easy school lunch for sure. I’m working on Charley (age 6) eating more vegetables, so I’m willing to give something like this a try: shred vegetables like carrots or radishes and roll them up inside turkey and cheese. Breakfast is a big hit around here!Įver notice that some veggies go to school, only to make the return trip home as well? Or worse - maybe get thrown out AT school? Cringe! Frustrating, huh? But with the government-recommended kid vegetable intake at 1-2 cups per day, it’s important! I like this idea (linked above) for blueberries and pistachios as toppings, but you can use any fruit, nuts, shaved coconut, or even a little bit of chocolate for dessert. Just set them out to thaw the night before. (Try whole grain!) Then I freeze the extras to save for later. Why not? I like to make extra waffles when my family makes breakfast on the weekend. You can easily substitute with a sprouted grain or gluten-free bread to accommodate for dietary constraints or skip the bread altogether and add extra cheese, veggies, and meat!Īnd don’t forget to use a kid-safe skewer ! Revive an old favorite with a new twist: turn regular, boring sandwiches into appetizing little shish-kabobs! (Click the link above to see how easy it is.) Round out the meal by including your child’s favorite sides like sliced apples, pickles, chopped vegetables (try cauliflower, carrots, or cucumbers), or a few grapes.
