I get asked a lot about what I pack for lunch for my kids. It changes A LOT. They all like different things (of course they do), hate different things (of course they do)….
Not easy.
My goal is to try to keep it simple, but balanced.
It isn’t gourmet quinoa leftovers or fancy cream cheese pin wheels, but this is the lunch on deck for tomorrow.
In this pack:
Clockwise from the top
- 3 mini, whole-wheat pitas (for mini pizza building)
- low-sodium V8 (Yes, my kid drinks this. Start yours young. Yours will too)
- vegetarian pepperoni, vegan mozzarella cheese (Again, pizza making)
- marinara sauce (pizza)
- apple slices (squirt a bit of lemon juice on them to prevent discoloration)
- snack bag containing: raisins, cashews, a couple pretzels and a dark chocolate square
Whole Wheat Pita’s from Trader Joe’s=good carbs. Low-sodium V8=liquid vegetable.
Mozzarella, Vegan pepperoni, and sauce to build mini-pizzas on those cute little pitas shown above.
Apple slices. Vitamin C and fiber.
Snack pack. Cashews=protein, Raisins=because L likes them, Pretzels=for crunch, and Dark Chocolate=A sweet treat 🙂
Now, to get the child to actually eat it….That’s for another post. 🙂
