From the Lunchbox- Tips for packing a healthy and yummy lunch for your little one!
It can be so hard to find good, healthy food that your little ones will actually want to eat in their lunchbox. We have listed below some tips that you will hopefully find helpful for packing healthy lunches!
•Involve your child in the planning.- Sit down with your children once a week and plan out their lunches. Odd’s are, if you involve them in the decision making, they will be more likely to eat what they find in their lunchbox.
•Shop for foods that will last all week and prioritize to use the freshest ones first (blueberries and baby carrots should last but raspberries might need to be used right away).
•Stock up on healthy non-perishables.- There are a few staples that are great to keep in the pantry for when fruits and veggies may be starting to turn: almonds, raisins, rice cakes, wheat crackers, canned pumpkin (sprinkle cinnamon, include a spoon!), and granola.
•Make ahead what you can so you can streamline the packing process (savory muffins, hard-boiled eggs, half-sandwich for tomorrow)
