Worried your children may not be getting good nutrition when they’re in school? As much as you want to trust the school cafeteria, it’s inevitable that sometimes the food choices in the menu are less than ideal. The only way you can be sure your child eats right is to pack his lunch yourself.
Your kid needs brain food as well as energy boosters so he can perform his best on all school activities. The best choices include whole grains, fibers and some protein. The problem is, kids don’t really like oatmeal or granola bars, and maybe not even wheat bread. So how do you make sure your kid won’t switch your packed lunch with a classmate? It’s easy! Just pack him something good everyday.
It might sound like a good idea to surprise your kid with his lunch. But what if he ends up not liking his lunch at all? The better strategy for the ideal outcome is to involve him. It’s his lunch after all.
Take him to grocery. If he knows his ingredients, he’ll be more attached to his lunch. He won’t let you buy lettuce if he doesn’t like it on his sandwich. Ask him what he wants and compromise his weekly menu with his cravings and your ideals. For example, if he asks for spaghetti, give him spaghetti but he gets fresh juice instead of soda.
Cookie concerns. For kids, cookies will always be all-time favorites. But to make cookies extra special, use cookie cutters to form stars, flowers, or hearts. Try to use oatmeal cookies to load them up with fiber.
Get your kids into fruits by giving him diced fresh apples, pears and some grapes. Fruits can be your kid’s substitute for candy bars. If your kid does not totally despise veggies, encourage him and give him fresh salad or burritos with leafy greens and meat slices.
Getting your kids to eat healthy can become a challenge when they’re reaching their teens primarily because there’s this teen-culture that labels packed lunches as uncool. However, when the packaging is right, they might even start a new trend. Instead of the trusty brown paper bag, invest in some trendy carrying pouches.
