Here are several tips for making better sack lunches.
Get into a routine of planning and packing your lunch the night before. Sandwiches are quick and easy to put together.
Freeze a smoothie. It can serve as both an ice pack and a refreshing drink come lunchtime!
Use a thermos to include soup or chicken nuggets. I often place a corn dog in a thermos. Either mini nuggets or remove the stick.
Include a dessert as a reward for your children after they eat their meal or on Friday’s.
Here is a sample Menu:
Monday – Corn Dog, Grapes, Pretzels, Baby Carrots
Tuesday – Chicken Nuggets, Apple Slices, Broccoli with Ranch
Wednesday – Turkey Sandwich Combo served with grapes, baby carrots and chocolate chip cookie
Thursday - SpaghettiOs, Strawberries and Biscuit or Crackers
Friday – Apple Slices, Ants on a log, Graham Crackers
