Tips to Tackle Creating Healthy School Lunches
Back to school season is almost here! Healthy eating is essential for kids to succeed at school, so now is the perfect time to try a new approach to school lunches.
The following tips from Pocono Organics amazing Chef Lindsay McClain, will make packing delicious and nutritious lunches for your kids more convenient than ever.
Rather than buying prepackaged, processed lunches filled with unnecessary additives, create your own single-portion Bento Boxes. The possibilities are endless - fill it with sliced cheddar cheese, cured meats, crackers, dried fruit, and fresh organic veggies like grape tomatoes or cucumbers.
Try some True Grace Microgreens Powder for a delicious veggie punch in homemade goods like blueberry muffins, banana bread, and smoothies. Set aside some quality time with a “Family Bake Day” and grab CLK [Chef Lindsay’s Kitchen] baking mixes to make muffins that are easy to freeze and enjoy for weeks.
Instead of processed fruit snacks or fruit strips, opt for dehydrated fruit like dried mango. You’ll keep the fruity flavors your kids love - without the added sugar.
Buy fresh organic fruit and dice it up as an alternative to canned fruit packs, where some fruit sits in sugar water.
Thermoses are a great choice for cooler fall days. Soups or pasta dishes can replace mundane sandwiches and be even easier to prepare. Not super-keen on the soup scene? Pickup frozen house made soups!
Enjoy these ideas and inspire new possibilities for healthy school lunches!
