Watch as Parents Magazine shows you these healthy lunch ideas for kids! Get out of your drab school lunch rut by trying a few of these healthy, kid-friendly recipes. This take on the all-American classic PB & J involves substituting in jam made from whole fruit to cut down on sugar. Allow her to pick out a less processed nut butter made out of anything from cashews to hazelnuts. Try swapping out white bread for a whole grain bread with two grams of fiber, gradually moving up to five or six grams of fiber as she begins to warm up to this different healthy lunch recipe. Another sandwich favorite, the bologna and cheese, can be made-over into this quick lunch idea that she’s sure to love. Change up the bologna in favor of low-sodium turkey and choose high-quality cheese rather than other processed options. Switch out the mayonnaise for mustard or, if your kids brave enough, even try silken tofu for a fresh take on this healthy lunch idea. Tap water or low-fat milk are our beverages of choice for these school lunch ideas, and substitute potato chips with sliced apples or carrots. These tasty kids’ lunch ideas will keep her healthy and satisfied day after day!
