Healthy Back to School Lunches
With the school year about to begin, it's important to know different ways to pack your child's lunch. Sure,
a small bag of chips or cookies and a bologna sandwich are quick and easy, but they are not healthy for children.
Here are some healthy and convenient tips for packing school lunches this year:
- When packing a beverage, choose water or 100% juice. It won't have all the sugar concentration that can help deter a child's focus during school hours.
- Use low fat or fat free cheese on sandwiches. Also try and steer away from fatty meats like bologna, salami, or pastrami and use sliced chicken or turkey breasts.
- Try and limit the cookies and sweets in the packed lunch. Too much sugar can have an affect on a student's concentration.
Things like chips, and other snacks made with oils, are also another snack to be replaced. Pack Cheerios, pretzels, baked
chips, or low fat crackers. They are higher in fiber and better for a child's health then fatty tortilla chips.
