Healthy lunchbox ideas for school

in food •  7 years ago 

As the new school year (for some of us) is approaching, I thought it would be good to get a few ideas about packing healthy lunchboxes to school. I know, I know, some children receive their lunch from the school cafeteria, but there are also those who children who has to pack a lunchbox to school, like mine.

I like to shower them with fruits, grains, vegetables, dairy and protein, but we all know they prefer the way it looks. Us, as parents, doesn't always have the time (or energy) to pack creative lunchboxes and I'm not saying do it everyday. There is nothing wrong with the peanutbutter sandwich that has been packed in a rush, but once in a while, when you have time, make an effort to pack something they would not expect. I can already see their faces when they open those unexpected lunchboxes at school, or even in the afternoon at home.

Okay...

...so unless your artskills are limited to stickfigures, like mine, this is way too pretty and creative for a lunchbox:

Nope, that won't work for me!

This is what I mean:

I love these lunchboxes that has been divided into seperate spaces, it help to build a healthy lunch!

This one is closest to my creativity level:

Try to have at least 5 different kinds of food in there, depending on what you have available, but if you can make it colorful, it will look attractive enough to be eaten, and if it looks attractive and it's healthy as well, you'll look and feel like 'parent-of-the-year'!

How cute is this?:

Notice the silicon cupcake cups used as dividers. That's actually a brilliant idea!

This one I like because it takes away from the regular sandwich. These wraps look very filling!:

Look, no bread!:

This is what needs to be packed to make it a healthy nutritious meal:

Don't forget about the water! Fresh juice too, but water is best!

            It does, doesn't it?! I wish my mom had these ideas while she still had to pack my lunch. I got a Marmite sandwich with an apple and Oros every single day, haha...but I survived!

                                          Awww they are so cute! This is super useful especially for parents because with all the restrictions that the school ask for these days when it comes to lunch, we almost start to feel like we cant put anything in there anymore:P No cookies no peanuts no sugary stuff.... Theres even schools where I live that seperate kids with allergies at lunch time.. They eat in a different classroom. Crazy enough:( But thanks for sharing xoxox

                                            Yes, the same thing at my son's school. They are not even allowed to have white bread, or even bran muffins. It makes it very difficult to pack a lunchbox.
