The American Dietetic Association suggests following the ABCs when it comes to packing your children’s lunches.
- Aim for four food groups, by including whole grains, dairy, protein and fruits and vegetables.
- Be creative. Not all children like the standard sandwich of meat between two slices of bread. Try making wraps, tortilla triangles or a stuffed pita pocket. You might have an easier time sneaking in vegetables, such as a shredded carrot or chopped romaine lettuce. Cut up fruit to dip in yogurt.
- Communicate with your children about their lunches and include them in the meal planning. Make a grocery list together and have your children pick certain items at the store to help increase the likelihood they will eat them.
