Granola & Yogurt
Little kids love to mix things together. Send a small cup of granola in a container with a lid and include a frozen “go-gurt”. By the time lunch rolls around, the yogurt will have thawed enough that it can easily be squeezed into the small cup of granola. Provide a spoon and you have a cup of sweet, smooth yogurt and granola that your child will love either at lunch or at snack time.
Peanut Butter & Jelly with a Twist
Peanut butter and jelly is a classic for good reason. Spice it up by swapping plain bread for waffles! Another variation you can try is to use almond butter instead of peanut butter. Almond butter pairs perfectly with either fruit or honey and makes for a deliciously nutritious lunch. If you use waffles, you can also pre-cut them into fun shapes.
Give Them Something to Hum(mus) About
Trying to find healthy options in lieu of condiments? See if your little one enjoys hummus as either a dip or a spread for the bread on their sandwich. Hummus now comes in a variety of flavors and is usually a kid favorite. Most hummus brands don't have a lot of additives or preservatives making it a clean treat that will go together with fruits, vegetables, different types of meats, and almost any type of bread or cracker for a snack.Quesadillas and Guacamole
Make chicken and cheese quesadillas ahead of time and cut them into fourths to plan lunches in advance and save on waste. If you know your child will only eat three of the four, you can save one for an afternoon snack when they get home from school. Include some guacamole and some fruit slices and you have a solid lunch that will give your little one the energy they need to power through the day!Turkey and Cheese Roll-Ups
Turkey and cheese roll-ups wrapped in a soft tortilla will provide your child with a finger sandwich that is easy to manage without having to use both hands. Hello, multitasking! Include carrot or celery sticks, a small cup of yogurt and a cookie to make a great lunch for a growing child (that they wouldn't dream of trading with their friends!). Throw in a post-it note for encouragement and they can finish their lunch with a smile.
