Tips to Pack a Healthy Lunchbox
- Start planning your lunch each morning and budget for what you’ll be taking with you.
- Pack each day in a different way so you won’t be tempted to fill your bag with junk just because you like a particular combination of ingredients.
- Always remember that kids don’t need just anything to fill their stomachs. A balanced meal with at least 5 different colors and flavors is essential.
- Pack lunchboxes in a way that maximizes opportunities for a nutritious snack, such as packing fruit and veggies in small containers or putting cookies in small plastic lunchboxes.
- Think outside the box by planning your lunch into three categories – fruits, veggies, and grains.
- Make sure you include a variety of healthy snacks in your lunchbox to stave off hunger.
Packing Your Lunch Using Leftovers
This one is a fairly obvious tip, but if you’re making sandwiches, chances are you’ll have some sort of leftover meat or bread in the fridge. If you plan on eating a sandwich for lunch, take the meat and bread out of the fridge the night before. On the morning of, slice the leftover meat and/or bread into 1″ pieces and place into a sandwich bag. Add a bit of water or salad dressing, and use the bag to squeeze out the moisture. Before lunchtime, put the sandwich into a ziploc or other plastic lunch container.
