Our Child Nutrition Office shares the following helpful tips for packing a healthy school lunch:
- Choose whole grains: Pack brown rice, quinoa, or whole-grain pita pockets instead of white bread.
- Add protein: Beans, hummus, nuts, egg whites, grilled chicken, or lean pork are all good protein sources.
- Limit processed meats: Avoid cold cuts, bacon, and other processed meats.
- Use healthy oils: Cook with olive or canola oil, and use healthy oils on salads.
- Drink water: Drink water or drinks with little or no sugar.
- Limit dairy and juice: Limit milk and dairy to 1-2 servings daily, and juice to 1 small glass daily.
- Pack a variety of fruits. Instead of fresh fruit, Try fruit leathers or fruit sauces, but make sure they are low in added sugar.
- Add a veggie dip: Hummus and veggie sticks are a protein-packed option.
- Make lunch fun: Make a kabob by placing sandwich components on a stick.
- Make pasta salad: You can make pasta salad ahead of time and add vegetables to make it healthier.
- Create a snack station: Create a station with healthy snacks like granola bars, cheese sticks, yogurt cups, or whole grain crackers.
