Back to School Lunch Recipes

[#1]

While your kids are at school, it’s important that they are eating the right foods to stay fueled throughout the day. Packing a good lunch is crucial for them! There are lots of creative ways to help get kids actually wanting to eat healthy foods! Adding little extras like peanut butter or nuts give fruits and vegetables a more fun taste, while still keeping things healthy. Remember, kids like food that’s FUN! Try making the all time favorite, Ants on a Log. You can't go wrong with their silly nature, and kids will still get vitamins and nutritious value. They're fun and easy to make, and the interaction will help them like what they are eating. Another simple snack is mini caramel apples. Using a melon scooper, scoop out pieces of apple, and let the kids dip them in caramel packets. The apple keeps things healthy while giving a little sugary treat with the caramel. If your kids really love apples, try making apple pinwheels. Peel and core an apple, then mix some peanut butter, honey and raisins and stuff the core with this delicious mixture. Try some of these treats in your kid's school lunches, and help make a difference in the way they eat. There's always a way to get kids to eat healthier!
