Answer 2

Well, I guess the first thing to say is "What do you put in your child's lunch now?" That will help to give you some better ideas as to what you could put in.

If your going down the "healthy-but-fun" route, give them something to dunk. All kids love to dunk things; donuts, basketballs, anything dunk-able.

Examples:
-Baby Carrot sticks/Cherry Tomatoes/Celery sticks and Fat Free Ranch dressing.

"Same Old, Same Old With a New Twist" - Take that same PB&J or Ham & Cheese Sandwich and cut it into strips or in weird shapes. You can even take some cookie cutters and use those to cut out shapes. This makes for an interesting lunch, especially if you get extra creative and decide to make a puzzle out of the lunch. Cut the sandwich into a mosaic style, so that he/she may put it together into that square sandwich.

There are some other great ideas to spice up your child's lunch, but I do not want to take up too much space. Feel free to email me if you have any questions about anything.

I hope I could be of some help to you.

Answer 3

Main part is either a sandwich or a wrap. Included is a variety of fresh vegetables (carrots, celery, raw broccoli), cut small, with a little bit of Ranch dressing, and some fresh fruit. Milk, bottled fruit juice or bottled water are included.
Children help pick out lunchmeats at the grocery store; tuna or chicken salad made at home one day are for lunch the next. Family wrap sessions are fun and the kids are more apt to eat them if they've made them for themselves or for each other---we even got a few soy bean sprouts into some wraps in a creative session!
Including only a single vegetable, or a couple of each of a variety, with ranch dressing for dipping has been a surefire way to get those vegetables eaten! (We're starting to try some other "dips" now, maybe working towards some hummus and couple of pita pieces to be included.)
Any supper leftovers that the kids really liked and will eat cold are good choices for the next day lunch---they like cold pizza, so if you've bought pizza, or made one, put aside a slice for the next day.
Picky eaters like sandwiches that have been cut using a cookie cutter with a cute shape...
Good luck!!!

Answer 4

My little ones are homeschooled, so we in basic terms p.c.. lunchboxes if we are going to the park. Lunch for us is often leftovers from supper the evening earlier and/or soup, sandwhiches, fruit and veggie trays, etc. All of that stuff packs extraordinary right into a lunchbox. now and lower back, we consume lunch out. in the event that they went to college, not sure what i'd do as plenty is banned it relatively is ridiculous. maximum colleges enable NO peanut products which elminates my son's staple (peanut butter and jelly sandwhich), yet in addition many different products that contain peanuts. Many additionally do no longer enable any products that contain strawberry and/or different aspects through hypersensitive reaction subject concerns, and a few do no longer enable meals such as chips or chocolate. yet, they serve extremely some the main risky and TASTELESS nutrition. fortuitously, i do no longer face that difficulty.

Answer 5

My children love salads, so we do that once in awhile. With fruit, and some juice to drink. We do turkey, bologna, pb&j, sometimes chicken strips left over from the night before. Soup. We always do some sort of fruit, pudding, yogurt, fruit snack. My children love pita chips, or crackers with cream cheese on them. Just about anything can work in a lunch. I have 3 children and have tried most things.

Answer 6

Guess I'm the bad mom...my daughter requests 2 slices of buttered bread no crust, a piece of lunch meat she usually don't eat, cheese she don't eat and either pretzels, chips, or cereal with juice or milk. At least she requests meat and cheese to make me feel better! Last time she asked for ravioli to go with her bread. She gets school lunch but says it's to yucky most the time.

Answer 7

Mini carrots, turkey sandwhiches, Ham sandwhiches, Maybe some left over dinner like spaghetti, Grape tomatoes if your kid likes veggies alot. Bannan's, maybe the dryed out ones like bannana dryed chips. You can make just about anything for a kids lunch as long as its healthy.

Answer 8

I am 14 and i make my own lunch health is my main hting nowadays but i am an extremely fussy eater if it looks gross i dont touch it so when i was younger my mom would put carrot sticks and sushi in my lunch box and thte sushi wuold have foof coulering to make it more appealing

Answer 9

juice, fruits, and the main course is always something good n FULL.
just out of the blues e.g. roast chicken legs on herbal cooked rice, grilled salmon steaks on pasta.
but never ever simple ham sandwiches unless they're 3 layered roast beef sandwitch something like that.

pls give good food for your child so he can have something to look forward to at lunch. he will do better at school trust me on this one.

Answer 10

Yogurt and fruit, crackers and cheese with deli meat, salad with dressing on the side,a cold pasta dish. I assume you put an icepack or frozen drink in it so anything that is eaten cold could be included.
