Make this easy, low-stress lunch idea for your children! Shelly, one of our Clinical Dietitians, has the perfect hack for satisfying lunches with all five food groups: fruit, veggies, grains, protein and dairy. Adding fats and oils can ensure your child feels full!
“I have a Dietitian confession to make. Packing school lunches seemed intimidating to even me! I see trendy lunch box ideas on social media, and they look cute… but so time consuming!
Instead, let’s simplify and remember that packing a lunch is supposed to accomplish 2 things: fill them up, and offer healthy choices so they have the energy to learn and play.” said Shelly.
