School Lunches can become a little boring at times to make for kids. Day by day we take a peek in the fridge and pantry and try to decide what to put into their lunch box that they might actually eat.
Coming up with lunch ideas that your kids will actually eat can be a challenge for many parents. Getting kids involved in the process not only saves you time in the long run, but will also increase the odds that the lunch gets eaten not to mention cultivates a specific time every day for your children to have the opportunity to learn about the 5 food groups! healthy school lunch will include “5 out of the 5” food groups and is critical to help kids excel through their entire school day. For example, a almond butter (Protein) and jelly sandwich (Grains), an apple (Fruit) Cheese (Dairy), is a simple and fairly-well balanced meal from four food groups. This example contains protein, fat and carbohydrate – the nutrients children need to grow and learn. Make it “5 out of 5” by adding some carrot and celery sticks (Vegetables).

Be sure to give your child a couple of options to add to their lunch so the final result includes food from all five food groups. Raise your hand if you need some new lunch ideas ????
