1. Fill 1/2 the lunch box with fruit and/or vegetables
- On the weekend fill snack size containers or bags with a variety of fruit and chopped veggies to make packing easier during the week
2. Think outside the sandwich
- Try making kid friendly sushi with veggies and light cream cheese and whole wheat flat bread
- Fruit, yogurt & granola parfait supplies for children to make their own at lunch time
- Sandwich on a stick (cubed cucumbers, grilled chicken, cherry tomatoes, cheese) and hummus to dip
5. Be creative
- Use sandwich cutter
- Pack soup or stews
- Mini bags of dried fruit
4. Keep it safe
- Freeze items like applesauce cups, yogurt tubes, milk, or juice boxes
- Pack perishable items close to the ice pack
