      Here is the latest “What I pack my kid.” Again, nothing you would see on Pinterest, but here is my reality.

      Lunch in a snap.

      Let’s take a closer look.

      Remember my Whole Wheat Veggie Dog Dinner Muffins? Those are always easy to pack.

      I paired these dinner muffins with snap peas.

      Lacking lunchtime inspiration? See below.

      Hardly innovative, but here is an example of what I pack my kid.

      DIY parfait. Sort of. No fancy glass here. Yes, those strawberries are frozen, but come lunchtime they will be perfect for mixing with greek yogurt and topping with granola.

      Whole wheat pretzels. Always looking for ways to get whole grains in....even if it's in pretzel form.

      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.

      This is for tomorrow.

      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.

      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.

      Apple slices. Vitamin C and fiber.

      Snack pack. Cashews=protein, Raisins=because he likes them, Pretzels=just because, and Dark Chocolate=A sweet treat

      Now, to get the child to actually eat it….That’s for another post. 🙂
