Healthy Lunch Box Snacks That Kids Will Love
Summer is almost over and the start of the school year is right around the corner. Make sure that you send your kids back to school with a healthy lunch that they will enjoy and leave them feeling full of energy and provide the necessary nutrients that their growing bodies need. Try these easy lunch box stuffers:
- Peanut Butter and Jelly, try out this healthy pb & j, or use a whole wheat bread with natural peanut butter and low sugar jelly
- Vegetable sticks with a small container of salad dressing for dipping
- Fresh fruit
- Pretzels
- Celery sticks filled with cream cheese or peanut butter and raisins
- Fruit yogurt
- Pudding
- Whole grain Crackers–plain or with peanut butter or cheese
- String cheese sticks
- Graham crackers
- Fortune cookies
- Dried fruit
- Fruit leather
- Nuts
- Whole grain Tortilla chips with a small jar of salsa
- Small bags of popcorn without all of the butter
Of course who can forget the stickers and a cute note from you. If you have any other snack ideas or recipes that you or your kids love please send them to Brooke and she will post on her website along with your name and info.
