I find that the best way to make healthy lunches is to skip the convenience items and go for homemade things. I think that even leftovers can be fun if presented properly
Linda
chocolate milk is an all time favorite of my kids!

I make my kids lunches fun by making my own form of Lunchables containing tasty crackers, meats, and cheeses. Kids also love dipping veggies in Ranch dressing.

To make bagged lunches healthy and fun I like to check the Kraft website. There are some GREAT healthy and delicious ideas on there… If you haven’t checked it out – you should.

I let my 5-year-old twins choose what they want to eat each day, from a list of healthy sandwiches and snacks that I know they like. That way they have some power, ownership and are more likely to eat it. And I include colorful notes with stickers and simple messages on special days, like first and last day of school, birthday, Valentine’s Day etc…

I leave them notes on their napkins. They love it when I make homemade granola snacks.

My dad always decorated our brown bags for our lunches when I was little. I LOVED that! It was so fun to see what he created with our names each day. Then, there was always a healthy treat and usually a not so healthy one, too! :) I want to do the same for my son!

I like to put left overs in my son’s lunch, he loves it and thinks he is eating from the cafeteria. He also loves it when he finds fresh popcorn in his bag as a snack.

I like to make mixed fruit of apples & grapes.

It is so exciting to have the kids get back to school, our youngest son is very excited to be joining his siblings at school. The trouble for me is making lunches for the kids is difficult but Blake is even harder as he is so fussy. His favorite lunches include banana w/jam wraps or chicken, cheese and ranch wraps. Great site, I will be sure to stop back often.
Jennifer Ortenzi
packing for two kids…always fun.
Amy
I find that it is all to easy to add the same old things a prepackaged sandwich, a bag of chips, fruit, a cookie or prepackaged cake, and a canned non carbonated drink or a pouched drink…
This year I vow to make some changes… small steps for health and variety. Today they had Babybel cheese, pepperoni, grapes, and granola bar… bottled water with Crystal light. Tomorrow they will have Planters Trail Mix that I bought at Walgreens this week for .99 cents, Cheese crackers, Yogurt, grapes and Bottled water with sugar free Kool-aid. Instead of buying a ton of prepackaged things which are costly I buy bigger bags of things and package them (with help from kids) as soon as I get home. I hope i can stick with my goal this year.
Personally I love Ruth’s idea! Kabobs sound like a great idea… I am going to go make a cup of tea and see what other fantastic ideas people have.
Lisa
I always pack one sweet item in the lunch pack. Cookies, jello, chocolate pudding, etc.
Wendy
I always like to include a cheese stick, yogurt or fruit.
Liz D
I like to add dried fruit & granola to my kids vanilla yogurt to make it a bit healthier & more fun!
Diana
Apple sauce with raisins mixed in.
Wendy
Soup in a thermos…you can get veggies & all sorts of healthy stuff in a lunch that way!
