5 Ideas for Great School Lunches

September 13, 2017 By Cassandra Stoklosa

Need Some Ideas for School Lunches?

We know how hard it can be to come up with new and different lunch ideas for the kids and we’re here to help. Here are 5 quick & easy ideas for school lunches.

Tortilla Roll Ups

Use cream cheese to add moisture without mayo

Tortilla Roll-Ups

These are a great option because they can be made the night before and don’t need to be refrigerated (since there’s no mayo!). We use low-carb tortillas, coat them in cream cheese and add your favorite deli meat, cheese and spinach. If you roll them in wax paper, they hold up extremely well in the fridge overnight. Pack with veggie sticks and fruit!

Roast Beef Flats

Use sandwich flats to keep lunches easy and healthy

Roast Beef Flats

For kids that enjoy a real sandwich, we offer a twist on the original. Use sandwich thins, mayonnaise, roast beef, lettuce and tomato to create a new classic. No ice pack? No problem! Substitute ghee or cream cheese for mayo. Pack with your favorite potato chips and some fruit.

Kids can help make their lunches the night before

Frittata & Fruit

Kids are often more motivated to eat something they made themselves. So after dinner, grab the leftover vegetables from the evening’s meal and have the kids help make muffin cup frittatas. Pack and serve with potato chips and fruit to round out this breakfast-turned-lunch!

Turkey and Orzo

On extra busy days, buy a pre-made salad and add extra protein

Turkey & Orzo

On those extra-busy days, make lunch extra-easy. Just grab a pre-made salad (from your favorite Whole Foods or Central Market) and add extra protein to make it a real meal. Serve with fruit and coconut water.

Pick a Lunch

Lots of snacks can make a meal with some added protein

Pick-A-Lunch

Really stumped for ideas? Just grab a bunch of snacks, add protein (like cubed turkey or ham) and serve. Who says snacks can’t make a meal? We sure don’t!

Snacks

Let the kids pick healthy snacks from the self-serve bins

Don’t Forget…

To add plenty of snacks and cookies!

Homemade or bought, kids love them!
