Best Healthy Lunches For Kids

With Caitlin taking her lunch to school every day, I want to find the best healthy lunches for kids.  We check the online menu for school each Sunday to know what the school is serving and what she will want to eat.  I know the kids lunches are getting better in the school cafeterias, but I don’t think they are nearly as healthy and tasty as they would if made from home.  The thing for our family is my lack of creativity makes Caitlin almost wanting to eat the school lunch instead of carrying another one of my turkey wrapped sandwiches and baked chips.  I decided to look online and see what other moms were making for their kids.  I found some great ideas:

Best Healthy Lunches For Kids

Chicken Salad: There are a lot of great recipes out there for chicken salad.  One of my favorites that are also really healthy is using fat free mayo, red grapes and small pieces of pecans.  Caitlin loves this dish and if you serve it with a side of fruit salad, you have got a tasty and nutritious meal.

Turkey Meatballs: Caitlin LOVES meatballs and she especially loves turkey, so put them together and it is a home run.  If you serve this in a pita, it keeps it all together and neat. Serve with a side of cucumber and tomato salad and you are good to go.

Drumsticks: Kids love drumsticks and they are easy to make and transport well.  Caitlin really loves the grilled flavor, so Chris will cook them on the grill in a big bunch, so we have enough to eat for a few days.

Containers: Another important part of taking a healthy lunch to school is to be sure it is packed correctly. If you toss everything together willy nilly, you won’t have a very pretty lunch to look forward to.  If you can pack your lunch in proper containers, everything will have its own place and can bring its full flavor to the top.  There is a really clever and cool company that has taken lunch containers to an incredibly smart level; Laptop Lunches.  IF you aren’t sure what items should be packed in your kid’s lunch, Laptop Lunches is the place to go!

Best Containers For Packing Lunch

Laptop Lunches has designed the best containers for packing lunch that you have ever seen!  I received the Bento Lunch Box 2.o in Berry Blue ($23.99).  The box comes with 3 containers with lids and 2 without.  The smallest of the 3 with lids is perfect for sauces or dressing.  The other boxes are nicely sized and are made from recycled materials and are therefore recyclable themselves (not that you will need to anytime soon), are made in the USA, are BPA free and are super easy to clean.  I love that there are so many compartments so that you can pack a balanced meal.  You can see Laptop Lunches in popular magazines like Parents, Prevention and Women’s Day.  You can order your Laptop Lunch online and all the pieces can be sold in kits or ala cart. Be sure to include one of their carrying cases as well!

  28. I love the teal and lime Bento dividers! I have been using a laptop lunch for my son for the past 6 years, and I never thought to look on their site for accessories. Its time to buy my daughter one, and I need to stock up on accessories, too.

  74. I love the entire company. They had a wonderful silver-toned box last year that I personally coveted. But the entire product line is fabulous!

  104. I have been trying to fix lunch in a Bento style but, I have been having trouble getting it to work. These answer alot of my issues. I’d like to get the Dual-compartment Kit- Plum Blossom.
