Mom’s Lunchbox Cheat Sheet
July 25, 2008
It’s time to start getting ready for back to school! I can’t believe the summer is almost over for us. Kraft foods was the source for these lunchbox tricks.
- Place a frozen juice box in your kids’ lunchbox. – it’ll keep the food chilled and will be thawed by lunchtime.
- Go for variety. Make sandwiches using whole grain tortillas, bagels or pitas.
- Pack antibacterial wet wipes so your kids can clean their hands before and after eating.
- Add grated veggies to sandwiches and wraps for crunch – your kids won’t notice they’re eating something that’s good for them!
- Use small resealable bags to pack dressings. Kids can open one corner and simply squeeze onto salad, then discard.
- Get dipping! Pack salsa, hummus, yogurt or salad dressing for your little ones to dunk their sandwich, veggies or fruit into.
- Make bite-sized and mini versions of regular foods like sandwiches. They work well for small appetites and are more likely to be eaten.
- Add a quick note to say good luck on a test or “I love you” – it will brighten your child’s day.
