We are over a month into our cold lunch routine and it's going remarkably well. The kids are making their own lunches with minimal assistance from me and I feel little to no stress. In case you missed the original Lunchbox Edition of Menu Plan Monday, I've devised a new "lunch prep plan" which involves a little bit of prep on my part and a lot more involvement by the kids. If you'd like to learn more about that, you can read about it here. I can now tell you with confidence - IT WORKS!!In the coming weeks I'd like to work on adding more homemade and /or raw food choices. I'll be on the prowl for easy and nutritious lunchbox ideas. (hint, hint)
Here are our lunch choices this week:
From the pantry: (pre-packed into single serving containers)
Animal Crackers
Breakfast on the Go
Gushers Fruit Snacks
Chex Mix
Pop Tarts
Homemade banana bread / muffins
From the 'frig / freezer:
String Cheese
Carrots
Yogurt
Pre-made "uncrustable" sandwiches (turkey, cheese, turkey & cheese)
Danimals Smoothies
applesauce
grapes
Now it's your turn - I'd love to hear what's going to be in your child's lunchbox this week. Thanks in advance for sharing!
